Black Coffee's Career

Black Coffee with his friends decided to form their own Afro-pop trio and called it Simply Hot and Naturally African, drawing from the experience that they had gained while working as backup singers for other artists (SANA).

A few different musicians contributed their talents to the album. Hugh Masekela, Thandiswa Mazwai, and Busi Mhlongo, to name a few, were counted among those who participated. He recorded this album in his bedroom, which doubled as his office, utilizing very inexpensive recording software and under his own record label.
