Gallo Music, Africas oldest recording company, for 100 years has defined a local sound that is equal parts grit, grace, soul and sophistication.
Nobody understands this better than music icon Sipho Hotstix Mabuse, and he takes Sowetan down memory lane on the milestone centenary, which will be marked with a series of events kicking off in February next year.
Its iconic that a record company outlived larger record label companies, and its worth celebrating. There have been companies from the UK or US, but Gallo has stood the test of time.
