We Jive Like This was a documentary made in the 90’s in the interegnum between Apartheid and democracy, an extraordinary time which saw an explosion of creativity in the black townships: with every back yard, empty shop, after-hours schoolroom, abandoned warehouse or dusty street corner occupied by culture clubs – and young people who danced, sang, acted and recited their way to a new society.
The Saloon Boys were in a backyard in Soweto, practicing for a dance competition that weekend.
