ART OF NOISE featuring MAHLATHINI & THE MAHOTELLA QUEENS Yebo! (China)

?
The song is about Zulu warriors eyeing up young Zulu dancers.
? Mahlathini is a black South African and is such a superstar in his country that he is known a ‘The King’.
? ‘The King’ first worked with the Queens in the ‘60s playing a sort of African rock ‘n’ roll.
? The ‘70s saw an emergence of a new sound called ‘mbaqanga’ (pronounced um-ba-kanga) and The Queens performed at Wembly Stadium at the Nelson Mandela Tribute.
