Letta Mbulu - In The Music... The Village Never Ends, Coloured Vinyl LP
Factory Sealed (New).
Letta Mbulu is a South African jazz singer who has been active since the 1960s. While still a teenager, she went on tour with the musical King Kong, but left the United States in 1964 because of apartheid. Mbulu also provided the Swahili vocals in Michael Jackson's single "Liberian Girl". Producer Quincy Jones said of her: "Mbulu is the roots lady who radiates a sophistication and warmth that inspires hope for the achievement of pure love, beauty and unity in the world."
On In The Music The Village Never Ends, her voice rises above a strident musical force that veers between disco, soul and pop music. The shimmering guitars recall the finest hours of disco, while the pounding beats anticipate the British soul of the 80s. The album was originally released in South Africa in 1983, produced by Mbulu's husband Caiphus Semenya, and has become a must-have record over the years. It contains her biggest hit "Nomalizo".
In The Music The Village Never Ends is available as a 40th anniversary edition of 2000 individually numbered copies on yellow and translucent green marbled vinyl and includes an insert.
