Philemon Zulu - How Long- Zulu Jive



Any true reggae lover will recognize Shanchie as one of the great reggae labels having put out albums by such legends as Augustus Pablo. However Shanchie's killer records are not limited only to reggae but include various other genres including music from various different countries. So whenever I am in a record store and happen to find a Shanchie record I usually will buy it and take it home with me. The latest of these additions is an album from Southern Africa, "How Long" by Philemon Zulu. This album is clear evidence of the great music that the African continent has been able to produce by blending traditional song with modern instruments. This is also an album that would be great for anyone looking for an introduction into the world of African music specifically South African music. Overall an album that I am very much glad I found and recommend giving a listen to.

  1. I'm excited to listen! Thanks!

    Lately I've been enjoying an exploration in the world of ballroom (latin) dance music, for example, artists like Bajofondo, Ondatropica, and Poncho Sanchez.

    I'd love to share some music with you. How would you recommend I do that, Lalo?

    Thanks for the music!

  2. Hey Lalo,

    I just went through yourgreat blog. I like the selection and the variety of it. Thank you for your time and good taste! Since you seem to be into punk would you by any chance have anything from the Japanese 80s punk band 'Stalin'? If so I'd be curious to hear.

    1. Thanks glad you are enjoying the blog!
      My old computer where I had the vast majority of my music stored recently crashed so I am currently trying to retrieve all my old data.
      The name sounds familiar though so once I am able to transfer all my data to my new computer I will let you know if I do have anything by them.

      Best Wishes
