Biography

Brenda and the Big Dudes was a South African recording group formed in 1983. The group’s classic line up included Brenda Fassie (Vocals), Desmond Malotana (Keyboards), Dumisane Ngubeni (Keyboards), Job “Fats” Mlangeni (Drums), David Mabaso (Bass) and Rufus Klaas (Guitar).[1] The group rose to fame after the release of their debut maxi-single Weekend Special in 1983. The single became the best selling record in South Africa with sales of over 200,000 copies. The group was initially a backing band for another popular South African duo Blondie & Pappa until a young Brenda Fassie was brought in as a lead singer.
