Busi Mhlongo 1947-2010 Tribute Vol One Year 1995

This is the the first in a series of short videos documenting the period from when Madala Kunene first introduced Busi Mhlongo to the (then) UK label M.E.L.T. 2000.
Highlight of volume 1 is Mam Busi's first solo appearance in the UK at the African Centre in Convent Garden, London. Paul Bradshaw of Straight No Chaser says in his obituary: "I first met Busi through Robert Trunz's Melt collaborations. He sought out Busi and was the driving force behind her classic Urban Zulu release. Robert loved her vocals. Busi was a primal force with a voice to match. She was a strong woman with a powerful presence that had an immediate impact on all those around her. Onstage she was nothing short of dazzling. She always looked amazing and I don't think I'll ever forget her performance at the Africa Centre in 1995 "
