Hi,

My top 20 SA frican songs really depends on what archive tapes / material I'm working on at the time. My hit-parade switches targets all the time... and the fact that 3rd Ear Music publishes most of these tunes is purely co-incidental.

My wish is that more people can share these Hidden Years Archive gems that I come across daily. What we need is a Radio & Road Show. But here they are - not in any particular order.

• Neonboog - Koos du Plessis
• Old Timer - Peter Measroch
• Dry Wine - David Kramer
• Weeping - Bright Blue
• Lisa se Klavier - Koos Kombuis
• The Crossing - Johnny Clegg
• Moonlighter - Colin Shamley
• Free State Rain - Dr. Jonathan "Radio Rat" Handley
• Ntjilo Ntjilo - Allan Silinga
• Rough & Tumble Days - John Oakley-Smith & Barney Simon
• It Takes a Man to Cry - Roger Lucey
• The Question - Jannie Hofmeyr
• Pampa Madiba - Philip Tabane
• Peace Dream - Clem Tholet
• Born in Africa - John Gerrard
