[#]NowPlaying #FalsettoFriday #SouthAfricanMusic

"Mbube" by Solomon Linda's Original Evening Birds (Gallotone, 1939)

The South African original that begat both #TheWeavers' "Wimoweh" in the 50s and #TheTokens' "The Lion Sleeps Tonight" in the 60s - here in all it's pre-WWII 78rpm #falsetto glory.
