Al-Khaidas - Jika Jika

(Fenkenas Investments / cdAKI001)

Al-Khaidas

The album is from Botswana by a trio called Al-Khaidas – yeah, you read it right - they obviously have a sense of humour… Al-Khaidas started off as dancers and won the My African Dream talent contest in the Dance section and their prize was to have a video made of them. Well, they didn't want to be filmed dancing to someone else's music so they started exploring their own rapping and singing potential and came out with their debut album 'Jika Jika'. Six tracks of Kwaito and Kwasa Kwasa which is a dancy soukous infused music. So far the album has produced two hits for them and they haven't looked back. Have a listen to the hit title track 'Jika Jika'. You can download some of the tracks as ringtones, too!
