The best of the township idols
Mahotella Queens began as the backing group for the male singer Mahlathini, but the group has also performed as an independent trio since the beginning. They were hugely popular in Soweto in the 1960s, performing in up to 3 concerts a day. The Queen's singing style is called mbaqanga and is a mixture of traditional Zulu music, gospel, and modern electrified rhythm with a sprinkling of American soul. Everything is undertaken with sparkling enthusiasm and lively choreography.
