A cambio, recibir\u00eda una parte de futuros conciertos y acuerdos discogr\u00e1ficos. Kenneth termin\u00f3 haciendo mucho m\u00e1s, convirti\u00e9ndose en su manager, instal\u00e1ndolos en un espacio de ensayo y present\u00e1ndoles a un organista que demostrar\u00eda ser el eslab\u00f3n perdido en el sonido esquel\u00e9tico de la banda. Tambi\u00e9n les dio su nombre: The Movers&#8230; porque, como \u00e9l dijo, su m\u00fasica te iba a conmover, te gustara o no. <\/p>\n<p> La banda irrumpi\u00f3 en la escena musical racialmente segregada del pa\u00eds en el los albores de los a\u00f1os 70 con un sonido que aplicaba los ondulantes ritmos de \u00f3rgano y los ritmos el\u00e1sticos del soul americano a canciones que ven\u00edan directamente del coraz\u00f3n de los townships. Los rumores de la banda comenzaron a extenderse por todo el pa\u00eds y pronto los sellos discogr\u00e1ficos enviaron a sus buscadores de talentos al municipio de Alexandra para escucharlos por s\u00ed mismos. <\/p>\n<p> The Movers finalmente firm\u00f3 con Teal Records en 1969, y su primer \u00e1lbum , Crying Guitar, vendi\u00f3 500.000 copias en los primeros tres meses, lanz\u00e1ndolos al frente de las bandas sudafricanas. En su primer a\u00f1o, pasaron de ser sensaciones locales a ser la primera banda de sudafricanos negros en transmitir su m\u00fasica a las estaciones de radio blancas del pa\u00eds. <\/p>\n<p> Aunque el primer disco fue completamente instrumental, The Movers comenz\u00f3 a trabajar con diferentes cantantes poco despu\u00e9s, logrando un \u00e9xito temprano con el prodigio vocal de 14 a\u00f1os Blondie Makhene, y enriquecieron su paleta sonora con trompetas, percusi\u00f3n adicional y varios teclados. Su gama estil\u00edstica tambi\u00e9n se expandi\u00f3, incorporando elementos de Marabi, Mbaqanga, jazz, funk y reggae en su sonido lleno de alma. Pero la esencia de su m\u00fasica vino de la conexi\u00f3n casi telep\u00e1tica de sus miembros fundadores: el \u00f3rgano a fuego lento de Sankie Chounyane, las l\u00edneas de guitarra relajadas de Oupa Hlongwane, los ritmos de bajo en\u00e9rgicos de Norman Hlongwane y los ritmos a fuego lento del baterista de Sam Thabo.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>La historia de The Movers comenz\u00f3 en 1967 cuando dos m\u00fasicos desconocidos, los hermanos Norman y Oupa Hlongwane, se acercaron a Kenneth Siphayi, un elegante y rico<a class=\"read\" href=\"https:\/\/wpguerssen-test.odoo.rgbconsulting.com\/es\/producto\/the-movers-vol-1-1970-1976\/\"> (...)<\/a>","protected":false},"featured_media":213329,"template":"","meta":{"_acf_changed":false},"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[21639,23258],"product_tag":[24185],"class_list":{"0":"post-213341","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-psychedelic60s-70s-es","7":"product_cat-afro-funk-afrobeat-es","8":"product_tag-de-nuevo-en-existencia","9":"pa_artist-movers-the","10":"pa_format-lp-es","11":"pa_gender-psychedelic60s-70s-afro-funk-afrobeat","12":"pa_label-analog-africa-es","13":"pa_location-africa-es","14":"pa_other-filters-vinyl-only-es","16":"first","17":"instock","18":"taxable","19":"shipping-taxable","20":"purchasable","21":"product-type-simple"},"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v24.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>MOVERS, The - The Movers Vol 1 - 1970-1976 -  (LP) | Guerssen<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"The story of The Movers began in 1967 when two unknown musicians - the brothers Norman and Oupa Hlongwane - approached Kenneth Siphayi a stylish and wealthy businessman from the Alexandra township to ask if he could buy them musical instruments.
