But I have never seen this album before….so that’s why it is Discovery of the Week. Chikapa “Ray” Phiri of course is well known for his work on Paul Simon’s “Graceland” album and popular South Africa bands like The Cannibals and Stimela, a hugely successful mbaquanga/fusion outfit which released several platinum-selling albums. On my recent safari my attention was drawn immediately to this album, the artwork and the name Ray Phiri performed magic.
