Spikiri - Ngeke Balunge

Here's a South African kwaito song that was featured in the latest Boom Shakalaka radio show. Spikiri is a Soweto-born kwaito pioneer who's been making music since the 1980's - he was part of the groups MM De Luxe and Trompies, and is considered to be one of the most important figures in the evolution of kwaito. His latest album "The King Don Father 2.5" came out a few months ago. "Ngeke Balunge" features a bunch of fellow S.A. artists - Brown Dash, Teargas, Skhoko, Bricks, Madluphuthu - and is inspired by Michael Jackson's "They Don't Care About Us".

Spikiri's album is available online at Ovi.com.
