Ipi 'N Tombia
Featuring Margaret Singana
Distributed by Stax Records, Memphis - Mixed at EMI Studios, Johannesburg
1973
Ipi 'N Tombia is the name of the group. This record, according to the jacket notes, is a collection of folk songs and "Township jive".
Most of the lyrics are in English. Most of the music is nothing like you might expect from the cover images. It's very modern stuff (for early 70s pop).
Fun cover art. I thought this would be an obscure album, but many of the tracks can be found on iTunes.
The top cover is the US release and the bottom one is what the French cover looks like. Too bad it isn't fabulous Exotica like it looks as if it would be!
