Strut follow their recent forays into Nigerian and Ethio grooves with a brand new wide-ranging three-party series exlploring underground South African music during the late '60s and '70s, Next Stop Soweto explores the vibrant energy of the township jive sound. Strut traces some of the amazing music that often only appeared on short run 45s at the time, including tracks by smaller and lesser known bands that plied their trade under apartheid during the years before the tumultuous Soweto uprising of 1976.
