The song “Uile Ngoan’a Batho” reminds me very much of Inkomo Zodwa - also sung by Miriam Makeba and The Skylarks, with Spokes Mashiyane improvising behind the verses as well as providing inspired soloing during the breaks. “Uile Ngoan’a Batho” is found on The History of Township Music, and - as this web page demonstrates - The Rough Guide “Music of Africa”. Take as listen whilst the sound file is still available - if you like it, buy the CD :-)
