Foster Manganyi is a pastor living outside Johannesburg. His sublime music shares with our compilation Shangaan Electro a startling palette of sampled, synthesized sounds the signature whistle and marimba, no bass, a little wonky high-life and rough, fast, skittering drum patterns. Yet these are gospel songs, intensely sincere, brimming with aching, plaintive, mournful spirituality, without a trace of R&B, mangled or not; and however fractured, multi-faceted and fresh the music comes across, the surging lines and harmonies of the support singers are unmistakably rooted in the traditional vocal music of South Africa.
