Hometalk is the second album by South African Afropop fusion band Mango Groove.

Hometalk was the first South African album to receive the Ampex Golden Reel Award.

When Mandela was freed on 12 February 1990, after 27 years of imprisonment, the US news program Nightline used "We Are Waiting" as a musical score for their coverage of the event.

[1] When the band were invited to perform at Mandela's inauguration concert, they played another selection from Hometalk: "Love Is (The Hardest Part)".

[7] The band did all of this in imitation of Abdullah Ibrahim's 1974 recording of "Mannenberg", a Cape jazz song that has come to be regarded as a classic.

[1][11][12] In South Africa, Tusk Music released Hometalk on CD, cassette, and LP record.

The Gallo Record Company reissued the album (without bonus tracks) in a broader digital distribution in 2013.

(This and later editions of Eat a Mango include "We Are Waiting" as the first track, and omit the song "New World [Beneath Our Feet]".)
