AFW - Antique France Worldwide

Description

This 45 RPM vinyl record features the band Johnny Clegg and Savuka with the track "Asimbonanga". The photographed cover presents an aesthetic typical of the late 80s, with a bright yellow frame adorned with brightly colored graphic patterns (pink, green, blue, black, and orange), evoking a graphic style inspired by contemporary African art.

On the front, five band members are photographed outdoors, posing on a brick wall in front of an urban and slightly dilapidated building. The members' clothing – jeans, colorful jackets, bandanas, and shirts – reflects an 80s fashion influence, enhancing the vintage atmosphere sought after by many vinyl record enthusiasts.

Legible inscriptions on the cover include the band's name "JOHNNY CLEGG And SAVUKA" in yellow and white letters, as well as the title "ASIMBONANGA" in bright yellow. The entire jacket is framed by stylized motifs evoking African culture, reinforcing the visual identity of the record.

The overall condition visible in the photo shows a generally clean cover, with no tears or major stains on the front. Some minor signs of wear or light marks may be observed on the edges, consistent with a used vinyl record from this era, but nothing that detracts from the legibility or visual impact of the cover.

This 45 RPM record is aimed at anyone looking for an emblematic piece of contemporary African music, particularly marked by the commitment and musical fusion of Johnny Clegg and his band Savuka. The colorful jacket and the band's photograph make it a decorative and iconic piece for any fan of vintage vinyl or world music.

Did you know? Johnny Clegg, nicknamed the "White Zulu," was one of the first South African artists to blend Western music with Zulu rhythms, defying apartheid through his committed music. The track "Asimbonanga" is a tribute to Nelson Mandela, then imprisoned, and was an anthem of resistance in the 1980s.
