Underground Mod Obscurity from South Africa, taking on the London Beat scene, mixing British beat, R&B, reggae and funk.“Reggae Shh!” and “Reggae Meadowlands” – both issued on 45 in the UK and Italy – became huge underground hits on the Mod scene. Zorro Five were top-flight session musicians whose once-off inspiration won them the 1971 South African Recording Industry award for “Best Beat Group”. Zane Cronje (organ, keyboards) was a prolific composer, Johnny Fourie (guitar) was later called out by John McLoughlin as “one of the greatest guitar players of our epoque”.
