South African music featuring the legendary jazz singer Dolly Rathebe. A jazzy and soulful album with catchy rhythms, Sharon Katz's unmistakable South African guitar style, rich vocals and harmonies.
Bio / Background
Thando Rhythms Records announces the release of Lerato, featuring the last recordings by South Africa's legendary Dolly Rathebe and her soul sister, Sharon Katz, before Dolly's untimely passing. "Lerato" means love, the name Dolly gave to Sharon as they performed together and worked together to build a better future for South Africa's peoples. The jazzy tracks hearken to the free-spirited days of Sophiatown before apartheid. Coupled with the catchy rhythms and Sharon's unmistakable guitar and vocal styles, your heart and then your feet will lead you to the dance floor for this intrinsically South African experience.
The 75-year old songbird Dolly Rathebe was also South Africa's first black movie star in the 1950's and recently featured in Anant Singh's remake of "Cry, the Beloved Country" opposite James Earl Jones. Although she was Miriam Makeba's mentor and a star in South Africa, apartheid kept Dolly's superb voice a hidden gem from the rest of the world until now.
