Shangaan crew comes to Europe

You may remember last year some charming videos that were doing the rounds showing some particularly crazy South African dancers throwing down to music that sounded like it had been beamed straight from another planet. This mini-craze was sparked by the release of Shangaan Electro Volume One (read our review here) by Honest Jon’s and introduced bloggers, hipsters, and pretty much anyone with a well adjusted sense of fun to the likes of the Tshetsha Boys and a producer simply called Dog.

Now the craze – which is an evolution of traditional Shangaan music, but played at Gabba tempos – is coming to Europe with Dog (aka Nozinja) and the Tshetsha Boys dancers playing a number of dates at festivals and clubs across Europe. Apparently they promise to show the "fastest Shangaan dancers around". Which is f*****g fast. We promise you.
