Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens – Paris – Soweto Album

Paris – Soweto is a 1987 album by the South African mbaqanga group Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens. The album was recorded just after the group reunited in 1986, and was one of the first albums to be recorded specifically for the international audience. The album was recorded in Paris and released internationally on the Celluloid label, and under the group’s long-standing Gallo label in South Africa. The first single, “Kazet” (also known as “Gazette”) became one of the group’s signature tunes.

The Album was made-up of re-recordings of Mahlathini & the Queens’ biggest hits of the 1960s and 1970s, with the exception of track 4 “Safa Indlala”.
