Dudu Pukwana – In the Townships

Alto saxophonist Dudu Pukwana led his group Spear into London's Virgin Studios to record this definitive document of South African groove. Driven by Mongezi Feza's searing pocket trumpet and Harry Miller's muscular basslines, the ensemble surges through raw township jive and blues shuffles. The collective phrasing is punchy, celebratory, and unapologetically direct, capturing the sweat and camaraderie of communal dancefloors.
