Majietas by Errol Dyers

This song is another great example of the slapdruk approach of playing Mbaqanga in Cape Town. The term Majietas is a slang word used in the townships for “guys,chaps, buddies” and the sincerity of that is evident in the melody. We chose the KouKouWa (2000) album version as the one we wanted to convey.

This high-quality backing track features all instruments and vocals except for the bass guitar. Engineered for total clarity, it allows you to perfect your “lock” with the drummer without competing with a pre-recorded bassline. Ideal for live session work, auditions, or building your portfolio of bass covers.
