Bongani Bingwa speaks to Kwelagobe Sekele, Head of Synch, Curation, and Playlists at Gallo Music, as the legendary label gears up to celebrate its 100th anniversary in February 2026. Founded in 1926 by Eric Gallo, Gallo Music stands as Africa’s oldest surviving recording company, a true cornerstone of South Africa’s musical heritage. Over the past century, it has discovered and nurtured legendary artists, released timeless classics, and shaped the country’s cultural identity. From Jazz and Marabi to Kwaito, House, Gospel, Pop, and Afro-Pop, Gallo’s catalogue reads like a soundtrack of South Africa’s history, featuring icons such as Solomon Linda, Miriam Makeba, Hugh Masekela, and Lucky Dube.
