The Movers - 1970-1976

The Movers - Vol. 1 - 1970-1976 is a compilation that showcases one of the most legendary groups in the South African soul scene.

Formed in 1967, The Movers started as an instrumental band but quickly began collaborating with various vocalists, including 14-year-old prodigy Blondie Makhene. They expanded their sonic palette, incorporating horns, additional percussion, and keyboards, blending elements of marabi, mbaqanga, jazz, funk, and reggae into their music. This compilation, released by Analog Africa, gathers 14 of the band's best tracks from their creative and commercial peak, offering an in-depth look at their musical evolution during this period.
