Something to Say

A 1 track disco single (4m 32s) — released December 16th 2022 on Vive La Musique

Rare 80s South African disco/boogie boogie track from legendary bass player and composer - the late great Sipho Gumede. Sipho was one of South Africa's most treasured musicians and respected at home and internationally.

"Something to Say" is the first single from a 4-track EP of music previously released on vinyl only and compiled by Vive La Musique's Aroop Roy.

A stunning blend of South African soul and American boogie influences with strong vocals and melodies.

Massive support from Gilles Peterson, Hunee, Antal, Patrick Forge, Mr Scruff.

Highly recommended for fans of Letta Mbulu, Caiphus Semenya and Hugh Masekela
