BONGO MAFFIN – NEW CONSTRUCTION

Bongo Maffin has been called many things, many-a-times, in many countries, and yet what they are, or do, as a band is simply this: use their voices, bodies and souls as channels to a very urgent, highly rhythmic, African spirits in the form of music.

“New Construction” is multi-platinum selling, multi-award winning, multitudes of hearts warming band’s sixth and most home coming album since their major recording, “ Concerto” featuring the township slammer, “That ’Isghubu.”

Appleseed was born and raised in Zimbabwe, but brings a distinct Shona and reggae flavour to the group's music. Stoan hails from Mmabatho in the North West Province, and is a Tswana language artist. Thandiswa, a Xhosa girl with roots in the Eastern Cape, joined in 1997 after working with them as a backup singer and studio musician. The group's expansive and spiritual take on the dance-oriented genre has been compared to the Fugees' broadening of American hip-hop. Their common passion for music has had a synergistic effect on their collective creativity.

The trio's music is firmly rooted in the rhythms of house music, but they incorporate ragga, reggae, dancehall, rap and contemporary R&B.The group, however, also gives props to their homeland, adding the sounds from South Africa's many homegrown genres: the bouncy beats of mbaqanga, gospel and the choral sound of iscathamiya made famous by Ladysmith Black Mambazo.
