Mahlathini & Mahotella Queens: Paris-Soweto: 7.5 (high B+)


# [mbaqanga] [Not sure why Christgau refers to this as "live," since there doesn't seem to be anything live about it. And he claims it's his "go-to" Mahlathini? But he never noticed it wasn't live? The liner notes even name the studio it was recorded in. Weird. In any event, I owned this once upon a time and sold it back after alot of hand-wringing trying to understand his "A" grade. It's a fine album.]
