It's too bad Malcolm didn't see fit to actually give credit to Mahlathini and the Mahotella Queens for their work on his album...Lots of American and British musicians have tagged
African artists to work on or be featured in their releases for years now.Think Paul Simon,
Peter Grabriel, David Byrne, even jazz musicians like Dee Dee Bridgewater, Bela Fleck
and Regina Carter, usually giving full credit. In fact all of the aforementioned always have.
But I got over Malcolm's slight enough to enjoy his work later with Bootsy Collins and you
know The Boot got full credit!....
