TATA "It's A Mess" SOUTH AFRICA SYNTH FUNK BOOGIE REISSUE 12"

TATA "It's A Mess" SOUTH AFRICA SYNTH FUNK BOOGIE REISSUE 12"

Behold the sizzling South African boogie sound of Tata Sibeko. A killer producer, arranger and bass wizard, Tata channelled the gloomy current affairs landscape of 1985 into this glimmering Afro-synth gem. As South African pop embraced 1980s synth culture, maxi-singles on 12-inch vinyl became the new canvas of expression with wider grooves for fat beats and extended mixes that suited dancefloors. Former Kabasa frontman Tata Sibeko dropped "It’s a Mess" in 1985, cooling Cold War political tension with dramatic synths, a seductive bass groove and an appeal to “learn to love each other” and “save ourselves from catastrophe."

Vinyl: NEW / Jacket: SEALED
