The Red Dazzlers

Cape Town’s own Ladysmith Black Mambazo!

This is Scatamiya Music at its very best! Scatamiya Music you ask? Best described as a soul driven form of music that found its roots in the Gold and Diamond mines of yesteryear – an era when men were forced to leave their families behind as they were relocated to far off mine-fields – men alone…yearning for their families and homes. Scatamiya music incorporates a unique breed of dance – a ‘walking on the toes, softly touching the floor.’

The Red Dazzlers perform as a 4 – 10 piece group.
They sing about love, unity, piece and slavery. This kind of music started in gold and diamond mines –men alone in strange places yearning for their families.
