Mike Makhalemele - The Peacemaker

Hailing from Alexandra and nicknamed "Ratau" (meaning "lion"),
saxophonist Mike Makhalemele (1938-2000) was a force of nature with a
robust yet soulful tone and seemingly endless breath
He embraced the pop music scene as an enthusiastic collaborator and staked his
territory at the intersection of township grooves with modern currents in soul,
funk and disco. As a solo artist, he delivered a formidable run of albums in the
1970s that that made him the most prolifc recording artist in South African jazz
during this era.
