“Ces spécialistes du mbube ou isacathamiya, un genre tourné vers des valeurs rurales et traditionnelles, choisissent ici d'interpréter du gospel, un genre très populaire en Afrique du Sud. Cette dimension chétienne du répertoire du groupe est apparue dès 1975 quand Joseph Shabalala est devenu méthodiste, sortant coup sur coup deux albums religieux, Ukukhanya Kwelanga (1975), qui fut double album de platine, et Ukusindiswa (1976). On trouve ici des titres comme «~Wazithwal'izono Jesu~» (You Bore Our Sins Jesus) ou «~Ngxa Ngimbona Umsindisi~» (When I See the Saviour). These specialists of isacathamiya, a musical style reflecting rural life and traditional values, chose here to sing gospel songs, a very popular style in South Africa. This religious dimension of their music has been present since 1975 when Joseph Shabalala became methodist. They produced then two christian albums, Ukukhanya Kwelanga (1975), (double platinium) and Ukusindiswa (1976). One can discover here tracks like “Wazithwal'izono Jesu” (You Bore Our Sins Jesus) or “Ngxa Ngimbona Umsindisi” (When I See the Saviour). ”
