The South African All Stars

Oh would I love to see these guys play. They are the house band at the only South African Resturant in the States (didn't know they had a cursine.. I thought it was just British and Dutch dishes)

I love Bakithi Kumalo and have longed to learn his bass style.. It's so fluid and smooth. Fig is a treat on the drums. Goldberg and Cedras I don't know that well but they've got to have skills.
