Foster Manganyi is a pastor from Giyani, Limpopo, whose music pours forth from the same studios that produced Honest Jons’s landmark Shangaan Electro collection. This Shangaan dance music mostly shares a particular, initially peculiar character -- all MIDI tones, unrelenting yet gossamer rhythms, and choral incantations -- that has it standing far outside much modern dance music. As if making a virtue of its modes of circulation, primarily on cassettes (Ndzi Teke Riendzo is a reissue of a 2008 cassette), the productions also float within a bass-less realm, further accentuating the trebly charm of the tracks’ rickety sounds.
