Last month South Africans BLK JKS played the Festival Rio Loco in the south of France–for what was a South Africa focus at the festival. They invited Malian Vieux Farka Toure and his band to join them for what was billed as “100% African Rock.” The result: one and a half hours of good music. Even better, for an encore they bring on Thandiswa Mazwai to perform a cover version of the late Brenda Fassie’s ”Too Late for Mama” with the new 100% Afrian Rock band. — Sean Jacobs
