Having been part of the iconic Afro-rock band Harari, the first ever local black pop band to appear on South African TV, Mthalane and Segwai decamped to team up with Sibeko for Kabasa’s eponymous debut in 1980.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e‘African Sunset’ is their third and final album and is produced by the band with songwriting duties shared between founding members Sibeko and Mthalane as well as newly-joined percussionist and flautist Mabote “Kelly” Petlane. Taking in psychedelic rock influences alongside shades of jazz, funk and more traditional sounds, ‘African Sunset’ is a timeless album, standing out to this day thanks to its heavy grooves, great songwriting and superior musicianship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith original pressings of ‘African Sunset’ now virtually impossible to find, \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eBBE\u003c\/span\u003e Music is delighted to present this carefully remastered version that includes original artwork.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003eWith original pressings of ‘African Sunset’ now virtually impossible to find, \u003cspan class=\"caps\"\u003eBBE\u003c\/span\u003e Music is delighted to present this carefully remastered version that includes original artwork.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\t\u003cli\u003e2LP (180g vinyl)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e BBE491 -Artist-Kabasa\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHandling Note: **Please allow an additional 5 business days for this item's shipment.**\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eReleased: 11\/25\/19\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat Detail: 2LP Black\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFormat: Vinyl\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGenre: Rock\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInternal ID: JIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Kabasa","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53426902859960,"sku":"LE3QF2-2K32-C5","price":38.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0630\/9222\/8280\/files\/kabasa-african-sunset_jYxAD.jpg?v=1777639243","url":"https:\/\/musicrecordshop.com\/products\/kabasa-african-sunset","provider":"Music Record Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
