You know the song. Meet the four brothers who made it.

Our dad, John Kongos, had a number one in South Africa at 16 in the 1960s. Then he had hits in the UK with "He's Gonna Step On You Again" and "Tokoloshe Man."

Three of us were born in London, and one of us was born in Johannesburg.

In 1996, we moved to Arizona. We were a band for 11 years, ignored by every label, publisher, and agency.

South African radio played "I'm Only Joking." Then came a swing we still talk about.

"We literally went from playing to 60,000 people at a soccer stadium, and then flying back to the states getting in the van and playing to four people in Albuquerque, New Mexico."

Two of the four people in that Albuquerque room were from the other band.

Come With Me Now was released to crickets. A Denver DJ named Nerf played it, and it went across the country. Epic Records, in our words, "jumped on an already moving train."

These days we're independent, on our own label, Tokoloshe Records. We started it with Dad. We're in Austin, making album 7. Being brothers is still why the four of us are a band.

"With brothers you'll say much more extreme things, and you hold each other to higher standards."
