They call it Highlife, reaching for stars. ’My customers dance anything from blues to the ukulele Hawaiian. But their latest craze is Tcha-Tcha-Tcha,“ a Lagos night club proprietor told us as we were wandering around to find out how the people enjoy themselves. And he wasn't exaggerating when he called the Tcha a craze, for, on the dance floor, were boys and girls some rolling on the ground, some reeling like wounded things, and some falling backwards and forwards all answering the call of the Tcha-Tcha-Tcha. This was crazy Highlife getting crazier, madder, loonier, bursting at the seams with abandon. ( Photograph by Drum Photographer BAHA)

The bold cavalry-men on their fiery steeds, their swords and spears glistening in the sun. The women from the Zaria Province, tall and erect in their colourful robes. The men dancer, bursting with smiles and vitality. Such a day had not been before, the day a durbar was held to celebrate self-government in the Northern Region of Nigeria. It was enormous, vast, diverse, majestic. Taking part were over 10 000 men and women, 3000 horses. Dancing and singing crowds came from all thirteen provinces of the Northern Region.

Basotho danced in the main street of Maseru when news leaked out that Ntsu Mokhehle's Congress Party had beaten Leabua Jonathan's ruling National Party in the Lesotho general election. But Johathan swiftly stopped the music by changing the jig to a military march. He had Mokhehle and 62 others arrested, suspended the constitution and put King Moshoeshoe II under house arrest - claiming that the Congressmen had fixed the result by violence.

"There's too much of this cheap jazz flying about. Crude imitation American stuff. Just noise. There's only one thing to do, break it! That's what I do..." "Jazz is my life. I've learned the hard way, three diplomas at Trinity College of Music, London." Twenty years they begged him to put his music on disc. Twenty years he refused. He wanted to carry that message across personally. He's carried that message through more than 50,000 miles of jazz entertainment in South Africa. And now he's put his music, his great sounds, down on Gallotone discs. 'King Force and his Jazz Forces' (Photograph by Bob Gosani BAHA)

Description: DM2000072501:SAED:MUSIC:PERSONALITY:DEC1954 - What They Say About Tandi! - Thandi (Mpambani) Klaasen with Todd Matshikiza. I said to Tandi "Where you born sister?" She said, 'Turfontein, Mister.' "I said you're cute." She said 'shoot.' This is what i shot out of her. She's the biggest, heppest, and jivest of family of nine. She's had three diaappointments only. When the Gay Gaities Troupe split, when her Quad sisters quit show bizness, and when her eight year old love affair fizzled out. She got famous in 1943, singing 'Cow Cow Boogie.' She was mad about jivingso she got used to jeans. (Photograph by Drum Photographer © Baileys Archives) neg 449 Thandi Mpambani vocalist for the Cuban brothers

Description: DM2000020803:SAED:SPORT:PRESONALITY:JUL1955 - Be-Bop Goes Boxing - Oliver Tambo at a boxing match. Our boxing writer, J.A. Maimane, was unable to cover the title fight. So we sent music writer Todd Matshikiza, a real jazz-man, to his first boxing match. And got the funniest boxing story yet. The first bloody match was between Sydney Lekwape and John Monokoane, Bantamweights. A lazy unbalanced fight in which the two boxers were obviously not matched properly. I was'nt impressed with boxing after that fight. "Legalised murder," as someone once put it. And there were lawyers witnessing the match! I said to myself when I saw them, Shucks, these fellows Nelson Mandela and Oliver Tambo are actually enjoying this cruel sport (Photograph by Drum Photographer @ Baileys Archives) Todd Matshikiza

Description: DM2000021113:SAED:MUSIC:FEB1955 - King Force - Twenty years a King of Jazz and still not out! Wilson Silgee was leading the famous Jazz Maniacs. "There's too much of this cheap jazz flying about. Crude imitation American stuff. Just noise. There's only one thing to do, break it! That's what I do..." "Jazz is my life. I've learned the hard way, three diplomas at Trinity College of Music, London." Twenty years they begged him to put his music on disc. Twenty years he refused. He wanted to carry that message across personally. He's carried that message through more than 50,000 miles of jazz entertainment in South Africa. And now he's put his music, his great sounds, down on Gallotone discs. 'King Force and his Jazz Forces' (Photograph by Bob Gosani Baileys Archive) neg 486
