The Boyoyo Boys, a four-member South African ensemble, offered boiling-hot examples of 1980s township music on this ten-cut disc. As saxophonists Lukas Pelo and Thomas Phale provided a mix of outside riffs and funky, bluesy licks, bassist Vusi Xhosa laid down booming lines, with guitarist Vusi Nkosi skittering, flickering and riding the waves atop the beat.
