The group included his brother Stanley Sithole, guitarist Cyril Magubane who penned much of the material on this LP, Ernest Mothle and Nelson Magwaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div><div><iframe style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 120px;\" src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=3544853201\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=2318953498\/transparent=true\/\" seamless loading=\"lazy\"><a href=\"http:\/\/wearebusybodies.bandcamp.com\/album\/heshoo-beshoo-group-armitage-road\">Heshoo Beshoo Group &#8211; Armitage Road by Heshoo Beshoo Group<\/a><\/iframe><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>The music on <em>Armitage Road<\/em> was mostly composed by guitarist Cyril Magubane and, as you might expect, the guitar features prominently. Throughout the album, rather than dominating proceedings, the guitar is an equal partner to the horns; Henry and Stanley Sithole\u2019s playing is never less than superb.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The original LP cover, showing the township street (Armitage Road in Orlando) which was Magubane&#8217;s address at the time, was a reference to the Beatles&#8217; Abbey Road cover, hence the title <em>Armitage Road<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-color has-very-dark-gray-color\">Pre-order the album, <em>Armitage Road<\/em> via We Are Busy Bodies <a href=\"https:\/\/wearebusybodies.bandcamp.com\/album\/heshoo-beshoo-group-armitage-road\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1010\" height=\"1010\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/b51c7f49-armitage-road-1010x1010.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-56563\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/b51c7f49-armitage-road-1010x1010.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/b51c7f49-armitage-road-759x759.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/b51c7f49-armitage-road-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/b51c7f49-armitage-road-661x661.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/b51c7f49-armitage-road-465x465.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/b51c7f49-armitage-road-375x375.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/b51c7f49-armitage-road-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/b51c7f49-armitage-road-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/b51c7f49-armitage-road-73x73.jpg 73w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/b51c7f49-armitage-road.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Heshoo Beshoo&#8217;s first studio album from 1970, Armitage Road, will be re-released on October 30th via the label We Are Busy Bodies.
