Thokozile is an album by the South African mbaqanga group Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens, released in 1987.[1] The album was a reunion of Mahlathini with the backing Makgona Tsohle Band and three of the original Queens, Hilda Tloubatla, Nobesuthu Mbadu and Mildred Mangxola. The album (#Gallo-GRC BL 590) featured re-recordings of older songs such as "Umculo Kawupheli" (heard here as "Sibuyile") and "Sithunyiwe" ("Thokozile"). The album propelled the group into immediate international stardom when it was issued internationally on the Earthworks label.
Critical reception
Template:Album ratings Robert Christgau deemed the album "professional dance music at its finest and roughest."[2] The Philadelphia Inquirer wrote that "the music is dense with intertwining melody lines and urgent choruses."[3] The Sydney Morning Herald called Thokozile "a typically infectious set of township jive, though the production tends towards sterility."[4]
