Malende
Patience, Violet ,and Pinky recorded their first Album in 1992. Knowing each other from the music scene, the back up
singers turned friends teamed up with Emmanuel Diale and signed with Mob Music to embark on their music career as their
own act. The first two albums were straight African Disco, A leftover sound of the 80's that some had still hoped to
capitalize on. By the time they released their third album Why O Nketsa so Baby, loosely translated to "Why are you
doing this to me Baby", Kwaito was still called either Disco or International House, and it was new sound that was
taking over. The third album was influenced by the Shangaan sound made largely popular by artists like Penny Penny and
Peta Teanet. Looking back now, at the time Mob Music was really leading the pack with this new sound. Being one of the
last labels to have official releases with artwork and a group of young talented producers given full creative freedom
they pushed the sound in a way only few other labels of that time can be given the same credit.
For their fourth and final album on Mob Music they worked with legendary producer/songwriter Malcom "X" Makume. With
three years of songwriting experience and stellar talent behind the desk the result was the LP Malende. Eight tracks
that would combine the early kwaito sound with the more uptempo International House topped off with productions heavily
inspired by what had been slowly making its way from Chicago over the last 10 years. At the time they had some success
and to this day are well known amongst the real heads.
