Mabu Vinyl was started in 2000 by Jacques Vosloo, who later partnered with Stephen “Sugar” Segerman. This iconic Cape Town record store was featured in the Oscar-winning movie, “Searching For Sugar Man“. Mabu Vinyl buys, sells, and trades most kinds of vinyl – vintage and new. They also trade in CD’s, tapes, comics, and music related DVD’s and books.
We will be hosting a private event on 14 November 2020 at which all our stock will be available for viewing and buying and Brian Currin (who has been involved with Mabu Vinyl and SugarMan.org for many years) will be available to share his music knowledge. Please Whatsapp if you would like to receive an invitation.
Playlist Creator & Web Marketer. The son of a church organist father and pianist mother, South African born Brian Currin grew up surrounded by music. In his pre-teen years he realised that he had no real talent for playing music and he couldn't sing, so he immersed himself in the world of music by listening, exploring and researching. Which he still does today.
He served in the military for five years, then spent many years in corporate sales and marketing until his involvement in the re-discovery of Rodriguez, opened up a whole new world for him.
He was the Content Editor for Rhythm Online, South Africa's first online music store, from 2006 to 2012.
He ran Mabu Vinyl, the iconic music store seen in the Oscar-winning "Searching For Sugar Man" film from 2013 to 2019. His voice could be heard on the streaming radio station All Jazz Radio where he hosted the Vagabond Show from 2012 to 2019.
He is very involved in promoting South African music, and is the co-owner of a number of music-related websites including www.rock.co.za which he founded in 1999.
