Noise Khanyile & the Jo'burg City Stars was a Johannesburg, South Africa based ensemble produced by Lloyd Ross and released by Shifty Records. Noise has been critically acclaimed by scholars such as East African Standard musicologist John Storm Roberts.[1] They exhibit a sophisticated multiply layered tapestry of Zulu inspired sound on his 1989 release Art of Noise.[2] For instance, in the web-published track "Groovin' Jive No. 1"[3] combining hand clap, drums, creative percussion with horn, harmonized vocals, special effects and fiddle in a distinctively contemporary sound. Baba Wami (Tribute Song)[4] draws more explicitly upon tradition[5] The performances have been critically distinguished between traditional (Zulu) music and a style referred to a "township jive" or simply as "jive".[6] His music, although rooted in folk tradition, is nevertheless described by some critics as "violin" rather than "fiddle".[6] This music is often played in shebeens, an alternative to the pubs which had been closed to blacks under apartheid but which some assert are experiencing a renaissance as a form of cultural resurgence.[7] album now available as a download at: http://noisekhanyile.bandcamp.com/
