"It's a special, but also a strange sensation to be releasing an album of one of your early musical heroes. I first discovered The Movers on my very first "record safari" in 1996. My destination was Bulawayo, in southern Zimbabwe, and to get there I had to travel via Jo'burg. While in town I stopped at a store called Kohinoor, in search of Mbaqanga - also known as Township Jive - and found a few tapes which I listened to non-stop on the bus that carried me to the land of Chimurenga Music. One of these cassettes included the songs 'Hot Coffee' and 'Phukeng Special' which instantly became part of my daily life. Twenty-five years later I'm still grooving to them. What I didn't know at that time was that The Movers were hugely successful during the 1970s; so when it came time to release some of their music, I thought it was going to be "a walk in the park" to track down information about them and write their biography. I was in for a rude awakening. Despite their legendary status, there was almost no information available on band or any of its members. Fortunately Nicky Blumenfeld from Kaya Radio came to the rescue. A few days after I reached out to her, she had managed to get the phone number of Kenneth Siphayi, who is considered to be the founder of the band, as well as vocalist Blondie Makhene and saxophonist Lulu Masilela. Although we left no stone unturned, we were unable to find any of the four original members who seem to have passed away in total anonymity. The story of The Movers began in 1967 when two unknown musicians - the brothers Norman and Oupa Hlongwane - approached Kenneth Siphayi, a stylish and wealthy businessman from the Alexandra township, to ask if he could buy them musical instruments. In return he would receive a cut from future live shows and record deals. Kenneth, ended up doing much more, becoming their manager, setting them up in a rehearsal space, and introducing them to an organist who would prove to be the missing link in the band's skeletal sound. He also gave them their name: The M...
