Boom Shaka

{ Boom Shaka was a pioneering South African kwaito music group consisting of Junior Sokhela, Lebo Mathosa, Theo Nhlengethwa and Thembi Seete. They released their first single "It's About Time" in 1993, and subsequently released their debut LP, titled "Kwere Kwere" in 1994. Boom Shaka was one of the most successful bands of the mid-1990s in South Africa. Their music was the soundtrack for many young people in the newly democratic South Africa. The group was viewed as representing "the hopes and dreams of a people after liberation". Boom Shaka also achieved international success in London, among other places. Boom Shaka, being one of the leading kwaito groups in South Africa, had a strong effect on their young audience. The group was purposefully put together to appeal to a younger audience through their distinctive sound, unique visual style and dance moves. The Boom Shaka name is aimed at recognising the power of the king of the Zulu nation, Shaka Zulu, and combining it with the notion of an explosive musical sound. {
