Biography
David Thekwane is a South African saxophone player who was equally working as a producer. He became most successful with his productions for The Movers, mainly destined for the African Soul market and based on the music of American idols like Percy Sledge, Wilson Pickett and Booker T & The MG’s.
David Thekwane also produced numerous other South African artists working in the same field with less success but nevertheless, good music came out of these collaborations. The most famous names include the Flaming Souls, The Mabone Boys and the Soul Throbs to name a few. Not exactly household names but these days their work has been rediscovered by UK based labels like Strut.
