Description: DM1999121019:SAED:MUSIC:THEATRE:APARTHEID:AUG1956 - Shantytown In City Hall - It all started with the huge, compelling party poster splashed majestically over Johannesburg. The poster also carried a controversy, sensitive as a winter blister. There would be shows for Euros only and shows for Non-Euros only. All this would take place at the Johannesburg City Hall. There the music, song and dance of the townships would be presented by the Union of South African Artists. So if this Union claims to champion the cause of us Blacks, why the heck should they go in for segregation and separate audiences and black dates and white dates? At the end of the seventh show, Township Jazz moved to the Taj Mahal Night Club where the artists and friends were treated to a pary to celebrate the success of the run.

Description: DM2000021419:SAED:MUSIC:MAY1955 - Zig-Zag and His Jazz - Isaac Nkosi - 'Zig Zag Zakes' has been a horn blower all his life. Since the days of the great jazz Maniacs, when that mighty team was founded, since the days when 'Zulu Boy' Cele started jazz history in this country, 'Zig Zag Zakes' has been blowing string and mighty jazz. Zakes retired from big business when the Jazz Maniacs foulded up. He started the smaller bands for recording purposes chiefly. Now and again he sits in with Themba Ellison's African Swingsters. Zakes plays the Alto-sax and the clarinet. His hometown, Alexandra Township, boasts many young men who have learnt to blow the sax from Zakes. A patieint teacher who combines teaching with sympathy. A jazzman who has great feeling for jazz and creative mind that has composed many tunes heard on record. (Photograph by Drum Photgrapher Baileys Archive) neg 540

Description: DM2001051607:GCP:MUSIC:PERSONALITY:6MAY1956 - Night Life - The Manhattan Brothers on Tour with Miriam Makeba in Bloemfontein. For a period of some fifteen years in the 1940's and 50's, The Manhattan Brothers stood at the very apex of African entertainment in South Africa. Their music was heard everywhere: on the radio, behind the closed doors of suburban servants quarters, pouring out of township back yards and shebeens, and shaking a circuit of jam-packed halls and theatres. Photographs of the group and accounts of their latest activities occupied the pages of all the African newspapers and pictorial magazines. An entire generation of predominantly male, young Africans modelled themselves on the group's dress, speech, attitude and lifestyle. In fact, the Manhattan Brothers were South Africa's first superstars. In 1957, the group conducted another tour through central Africa that took them as far north as Leopoldville (Kinshasa) in what was then the Belgium Congo. (Phot

Description: DM2001051608:GCP:MUSIC:PERSONALITY:6MAY1956 - Night Life - The Manhattan Brothers on Tour with Miriam Makeba in Bloemfontein. For a period of some fifteen years in the 1940's and 50's, The Manhattan Brothers stood at the very apex of African entertainment in South Africa. Their music was heard everywhere: on the radio, behind the closed doors of suburban servants quarters, pouring out of township back yards and shebeens, and shaking a circuit of jam-packed halls and theatres. Photographs of the group and accounts of their latest activities occupied the pages of all the African newspapers and pictorial magazines. An entire generation of predominantly male, young Africans modelled themselves on the group's dress, speech, attitude and lifestyle. In fact, the Manhattan Brothers were South Africa's first superstars. In 1957, the group conducted another tour through central Africa that took them as far north as Leopoldville (Kinshasa) in what was then the Belgium Congo. (Phot

She looked at life from a male point of view and seemed to have quarrel with her Maker for creating her a female. She discovered that she had a fairly good voice, mellow and husky and she toyed with the idea of 'African Jazz', the Street. She started perfoming in school troups, but the sedate, well organised music of school choirs did not quite go with her. She wanted the pounding rythm that intepreted township life so well. Later, she was to thrill mourners at the wakes of dead friends with her singing. So

It all started with the huge, compelling party poster splashed magnetically over Johannesburg. 'Township Jazz' at the Selbourne Hall. The poster also carried a controversy, sensitive as a winter blister. There would be shows for Euros only and shows for Non-Euros only. All this would take place at the Johannesburg City Hall. There the music, song and dace of the townships would be presented by the Union of South African Artists. This Union fights to get better and wider horizons for the Non-White artists. So if this Union claims to champion the cause of us blacks, why the hack should they go in for segregation and seperate audiences and black dates and white dates. No man, you don't see the point. The Union's got somewhere if they've got the City Hall for this. They're bringing out of the dark, township halls some of the artists who'd otherwise never ever see the
