Zulu Guitar Blues
'Cowboys, Troubadours And Jilted Lovers 1950-1965' - A rare and powerful collection of restored recordings from South Africa's golden era of 78rpm shellacs. Featuring 25 hauntingly beautiful tracks (18 on vinyl), this compilation uncovers the deep roots of Zulu guitar music, blending local traditions with unexpected influences like Country & Western and Hawaiian styles. These songs reflect the joys and struggles of migrant life under apartheid, with poetic storytelling, rich vocals, and hypnotic guitar lines. Painstakingly restored from lost or damaged shellacs, this release offers a vivid, crystal-clear glimpse into a musical world once thought forgotten. A must-have for collectors and fans of global roots music.
