about

Masiye is an isiXhosa expression meaning ‘let’s get there’. In Jazz People of Cape Town Bra Tete told Lars Rasmussen that another of his early influences was Louis Jordan’s Tympany Five. Listening to the irresistible groove in Masiye it is clear that Bra Tete’s music supports the principle expressed in one of Louis Jordan’s lyrics – ‘just get in the groove with that boogie woogie move because today you’ve got to have a beat’.

(Jonathan Eato)
