#BestOfTheBest With Om Alec Khaoli

Loading player...
Alec Khaoli Considered one of the greatest bass players to ever come out of Africa, Om Alec made his mark in the ’60 with the legendary group ‘The Beaters’, which later, after touring Rhodesia, changed its name to ‘Harari’ - which is still considered one of SA’s most iconic bands ever!
In the ’80’s, Alec went on to form his own band called Umoja and as the first black South African to have a privately-owned studio, established himself as a multi-platinum selling solo artist, during the same period.
To this day, Om Alec Khaoli continues producing timeless music and his legacy and mastery of his craft can be heard and enjoyed on numerous Vinyl, CD and Digital offerings.
