Tsonga Disco: Vuyelwa

A couple of months back I had some requests from anonymous Tsonga Disco fans to post something by Vuyelwa, one of the widows of the late Peta Teanet who has gone on to have a successful career of her own, working with General Muzka and other luminaries of the Tsonga Disco scene.

At the time I was not able to oblige as I had nothing by her in my collection. But we can now put that right thanks to the excellent Mano in Mozambique, who very kindly sent me a copy of her "Thembi" album. And very good it is two, as these two selections demonstrate.

"Rivalelo Maxaka" - Vuyelwa

"Thembi (Switsongwana)" - Vuyelwa

I don't know whether Vuyelwa and Peta ever recorded a duet, but if they did I reckon it would have sounded like a Shangaan version of this.

    Oh my goodness! Vuyelwa. I have fond memories of her music! Is there any way we can purchase her current and old music albums? Where can one find them?

    Mr Groggins, I am hoping you can help me. Would you, or any of your readers, know of the Vuyelwa song about a lady that talks to the whole town about her man's failing and as a result upsets him?

    Many thanks!
