Featuring Mahlathini & The Mahotella Queens’ lush production style, Paris - Soweto shines with care and sophistication-yet its music is as urgent as ever. Throughout, the harmonies stretch out so beautifully that they almost trick the ear into hearing voices that aren't actually there

The Mahotella Queens is a South African female band formed in 1964 by music producer Rupert Bopape consisting of Hilda Tloubatla, Nobesuthu Mbadu, and Amanda Nkosi. The group is noted for their distinct vocal harmony sound, guitar-led mbaqanga music, and fast stage dancing. Bopape was a talent scout and producer at the independent Gallo Africa's subsidiary dedicated to black music, Mavuthela Music Company

More of Mahlathini the Mahotella Queens was recorded in Paris at the end of their first post-Graceland tour. More produced and glossier than their Shanachie recordings, with a slight concession to the international dance market in the rhythms, it's still not lacking in musical and vocal firepower.
