Malcolm McLaren - Zulus on a Time Bomb: Music Video (Dir. Ian Gabriel)

Mid eighties. South African Music Video director Ian Gabriel took Malcom McLaren to visit the all male Zulu Mine Hostel in Johannesburgs Jeppestown. The result was this vibrant off the cuff celebration of some highs and lows of Zulu culture, including scenes reenacting the historic British defeat at the hands of the Zulus and the sacrificial killing of a bull before a village feast. Never screened in Apartheid South Africa, and re edited by the BBC, the original video went on to win Best Music Video Bronze at the New York Film and TV Festival. Here it is . Uncut.

[@chiamakaonyema218]

Hmm the video looks a bit raw and bloody

[@RisforRockit]

So they recorded a video for a b-side? That must be a rarity? I own the CD album, and this track's not on it (sadly).

[@CHRISDEXTER-e7m]

Yeah I think this was only on the 12” of “Soweto”

[@groovytrev]

​@@CHRISDEXTER-e7m it's on the 7inch too or at least it is on my copy.

The video is from a film he made about the album Duck Rock.

Also more recently, sampled for big boi's shutterbug.

When I emailed McLarens office years ago, a woman told me that "Shes looking like a hobo" was from a song called "She wash, She dont wash" but it was on a reel that couldnt be accessed at the time. Someone has that damn reel! And Big Boi did NOT use this to sample for that song, he did something totally different.
