OUTERNATIONAL MELTDOWN SIPHO GUMEDE & FRIENDS

The late Sipho Gumede at the height of his creative work. Amateur film footage by Philip Foglar taken during the Outernational Meltdown live concert at the Baxter theatre in Cape Town, South Africa. The concert concluded a series of recordings in both Johannesburg and Cape Town and was dubbed by Dizu Plaatjies the "WE MUST MIX" live gathering - a very appropriate title if one considers that 1994 was the year of democratic change in South Africa. the producers and performers of the OUTERNATIONAL MELTDOWN series were Airto Moreira, Pops Mohamed, Jose Neto, Sipho Gumede, Andew Missingham and Byron Wallen. Guests performing on this video are Dave Mxolise Mayekana, Andrew Missingham, and the late Moses Taiwa Molelekwa who later went on to form Acid Jazz band BARUNGWA.
