Thokozile

Thokozile is an album by the South African mbaqanga group Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens, released in 1987.

[1] The album was a reunion of Mahlathini with the backing Makgona Tsohle Band and three of the original Queens, Hilda Tloubatla, Nobesuthu Mbadu and Mildred Mangxola.

The album (#Gallo-GRC BL 590) featured re-recordings of older songs such as "Umculo Kawupheli" (heard here as "Sibuyile") and "Sithunyiwe" ("Thokozile").

"[3] The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that "the music is dense with intertwining melody lines and urgent choruses.

"[4] The Sydney Morning Herald called Thokozile "a typically infectious set of township jive, though the production tends towards sterility.
