Namechecked by everyone from Hot Chip’s Joe Goddard, Erol Alkan, Sinden and Trevor Jackson, Mujava’s blend of African township and electronica collide on ‘Township Funk’.
Mujava hails from the industrial city of Pretoria, South Africa, a sound reflected in the hard rhythms as heard on this breakthrough track. Given his break through the network of music selling taxi drivers in South Africa and signed to local label Sheer Music, the video’s appearance on YouTube has now accumulated over 70,000 views.
The video might be a bit ‘unique’ but prepared to be ensnared by ‘Township Funk’.
