This is Afro-Funk-Jazz-Poetry. Or something like that. Sort of like Last Poets meets Fela Kuti meets Cymande. This group is called Jabula and consists of Julian Sebothane Bahula, MadumetjaLucky Ranku, Mike Mathome Rose, Penise Saul and Steve Scipio. Steve Scipio was actually the reason I picked this album up since I recognized his name on the back cover as the bass player from Cymande. On this album, his basslines is as bubbly as ever. My favourite track thus far is the mellow funk of Soweto My Love.
- Afrika Awake
- Thunder
- Mathome
- Sorrows
- Soweto My Love
- Soweto's Children
- Sia Kala
- I Know My Way
- Raining In Amsterdam

Wow - many thanks - anyone know which LP 'Scatterlings Of Africa' is off ?

Many thanks for sharing. I've been looking for a digital copy of this for a while.
I'd also recommend two other Julian Bahula records: Thunder Into Our Hearts and his Jazz Afrika LP Son Of The Soil. I have produced the start of a Julian Bahula discography at http://wallofsound.wordpress.com/2008/10/25/julian-bahula-discography/

I have autographed copy of this. Somehow Jabula is suprisingly easy to find in eastern Finland. I just bought "Thunder in Our Hearts" - now spinning. The title song is great at least. Jabula "Happiness" would be the easiest.
