THE FUTURE SOUND OF MZANSI Spoek Mathambo (Sony Music) <\/p>\n
If Spoek Mathambo ever tells you to bet R200 on a racehorse, put down R600. In an April 2009 interview he told me: We are trying to push ourselves into developing an honest and authentic voice in sound that really represents us as postmodern, post-apartheid, post-everything poster boys raised on a steady diet of TV, internet and Chicken Licken. <\/p>\n
Mathambo is a highly intelligent overachiever. It is only three-and-a-half years later and he has not only developed that honest and authentic voice without becoming too earnest, but has also moved post all those post-things. This year has been a phenomenal one. He has signed with Sub Pop, the label that became famous for recording Kurt Cobain and his band Nirvana. With his excellent, eclectic dance-rock-electro album Father Creeper, Spoek has managed to create a thrilling meltdown of global styles, according to the Observer. It has received rave reviews around the world, as have his energetic concerts. <\/p>\n
