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 “No Drums” version leaves the rhythmic pocket entirely to you, backed by the authentic, high-fidelity bass and keyboard stems from the original session. Designed for live drummers to work on their feel, dynamic sensitivity, and traditional Jazz patterns alongside world-class session players.
