(taken from the website of a guest farm in Tulbach Western Cape of the same name) Glad to find other people with a love of this music. Stumbled across a recent CD by Positively Test Card: 'Kwela' is definately woth a listen if you can get a copy. Google them on the net and their website gives a very good history and analysis of the style. From what I can gather they are all (white ) Brits but their music is absolutely true to the sprit... Wonderfully joyous!! “Shisa” is a Zulu stem meaning “hot” and is also a “Hlonipha” ( Zulu term of respect) for the sun.
