4 out of 5 stars A snapshot of today's South African music.......2006-05-07

I'm a big fan of Thandiswa and love this CD. I spent some time in South Africa in 2004 and whenever I listen to this CD, it brings back wonderful memories. Thandiswa has a unique and captivating voice and style, and I look forward to her next release. I love the way she mixes English lyrics and her Khosa language and heritage.

5 out of 5 stars Thandiswa is one of the freshest thing coming out of South Africa.......2006-03-23

Zabalaza is South African music at its best--it uses more traditional Xhosa music as the springboard for young urban sounds. All across the country this album has been at the top of the radio station's charts for over a year, and continues to dominate. The best tracks are Zabalaza, Nizalwa Ngobani, Lahlumenze, and Kwanele And they run a range of styles.

And the woman's deep. She sings about the problems in SA society, and speaks directly to youth in both Xhosa and English--her songs are almost a textbook for living for young people.

Buy this album if you want to know what actual South Africans are listening to (and loving), rather than the watered-down stuff what's mostly on the shelves of record stores on that side of the Atlantic.
