The Makgona Tsohle Band was a South African instrumental band that is noted for creating the mbaqanga music style.[1] Mbaqanga is an acculturated popular South African music that emerged in the 19th century.[2] Mbaqanga is also referred to as township jive.[3] The group was formed in 1964 at Mavuthela (the 'black music' division of Gallo Record Company), and became the Mavuthela house band. It garnered success by backing fellow Mavuthela-Gallo stars, Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens. It is often referred to as the South African equivalent to Motown's The Funk Brothers.
