Khululiwe Sithole - Iminjunju
Khululiwe
Iminjunju
Often when someone is associated with a person considered to have contributed immensely in society, it makes it difficult for these persons to get a breakthrough particularly in the cut-throat industry of showbiz. Khululiwe Sithole took the bull by the horns when she went into the studio to record her solo album. Her studio work comes almost a year following the death of her husband.
Still mourning his death, however going into the studio was Khululiwe's outlet of releasing the pain while at the same time celebrating the special love they shared. She is the first one to admit that she had a lot of baggage while working on this album. It wasn't easy because the pain of losing her husband was still fresh and nogaal the media couldn't leave her alone during her mourning period.
Now that the storm has settled down she believes that the album will attempt to offer those who find themselves in a position she was a year ago some solutions. The album also offers this session vocalist an opportunity to display her talent after years of doing backing vocals for Jabu Khanyile's band. Jabu's backing vocalist's also featured one of the country's most talented session vocalist and now solo artist Khanyo Maphumulo.
Khululiwe's debut album comes almost a year after the sudden death of her husband and band member, Jabu Khanyile. The album is a personal testimony of this session vocalist's experience. But having said that the album doesn't dwell much on her painful experience following her partner's passing. The album is an eclectic of Afropop, Afrosould and maskandi, thus catering for a wide range of music fans.
The new album opens with the aptly titled track "Iminjunju", loosely translated in Isizulu it means indescribable heartache that never goes away. She further explains that "Iminjunju" talks about her hope that her husband will survive as well the devastation of seeing him die before his eyes.
"Iminjunju" also features other strong material that will immediately put her on the same leagues as the likes of Siphokazi, just but to mention one. Most of the material including tracks like "Dosi Lokufa" the gospel inspired "Thetha Nam" and "Bayagiya" were the first tracks that the singer penned for the album.
In fact Khululiwe points out that "Thetha Nam" was inspired by a heart --to- heart, sister- to --sister conversations he had with fellow muso and friend, Siphokazi who was often there when she needed comfort. Khululiwe also does justice to one of the country's most loved ballad, Letta Mbulu's "Never Leave You".
She explains they had planned with her hubby to do a duet of the same song but sadly it never happened. "For me the song is a dedication of our love and the fact that I never regretted marrying him."
The 12 track album is produced by one of the country's versatile producers, albeit underrated, Sipho Sithole. In the recent past Sipho Sithole has produced some of the country's finest female vocalists in Thandiswa Mazwai and Siphokazi.
From the opening track the listener is immediately prepared for some deep, soulful music. But again the music is somewhat spiritual. Take for instance the track "Njomani" featuring the awesome Bhekumuzi Luthuli .
There is also the gorgeous medley of the late Jabu Khanyile's "metjeketje" what a nice tribute to Jabu Khanyile. And at best the music suites Khululiwe's vocal range and thus showcases her vocal ability.

Love this song and all her other music. Such a gifted artist
Please guys come back there's still space for this kind of sound please guys...
you are missed Valarie.... i hope life treats you kind wherever you and zion are.
Qué importa la pronunciación , es una bonita versión
Valerie - Do your thing!! the negative are only that ... negative!!
Thanks for the great insight on Spanish pronunciation! Did you do linguistics?? You must have studied the numerous ways in which the millions of people from the 26 or so Spanish speaking countries pronounce the words in this song, and come to the conclusion that her pronunciation is nowhere near as precise as theirs, right?! That's pretty cool!
rookie or not...its a good piece
Kudos to all singers who honor the Spanish language.
very nice cover, congratulations!
Que barbara!! Quiero una voz que me cante asi pa enamorarme!! que dulce!! mi admiracion para esta cantante!"!!
listen to this... and then... compare... and after that... convince yourselves
i've listened to pedro infante... sinatra.. cesaria evora, susana zavaleta and finally this girl... and i can tell you...this song is too much for a rookie as she is.
no me gusta...
I could tell this was a load of shit just by the title..
es una mier.....
What is she saying???
Although the pronounciation is really Ish ish Bravo Valerie! Much Respect Chris Norway
It's my favourite version of "Besame Mucho" :) 10/10
me to~ 나도 좋아요
What a load of rubbish... lol Almost every musician I know (yes, even ones you and your parents love) were/are high on marijuana. I've never heard them getting confused during gigs and singing the wrong song. Hahaha, you guys... P.S. KUSH is a strain of cannabis, in case you guys didn't know. How ironic.
esta bonito el video, aparte de la mala pronunciacion en algunas palabras del castellano, muy bonito, y lo de cantar en el suelo, primera vez qeu lo veo B-)
although the not-so-good pronunciation, she's kind of good, and the track is jammy. Definitely, a must-be in an iPod.
anyone have the lyrics for this song, and a translation please.
@wilnnlights bravo for her and her effort to deliver a great version of this song, a treasure of our Spanish language from Consuelo Velasquez (Mexican), an Ode to our Latin culture
@fistach11111 You're an idiot! The world needs more people who use their brains and not their ignorance, how dare you post your nonsense online and let us all know your racist ignorance. Go back to the KKK and may you all drown in hell. You're a clown.
Syrupi!
ndiye
@chuapapop,,she is kenian/african..swahili and english speaking and kikuyu,,so wen she sings all ths spanish i bet she has tried best to master the language indeed!
hey gurlie... just as your motto suggests eyes in the clouds and feet on the ground...pple will always talk but deep within you know wat makes you happy n thats wat u go fro. i like this piece. makes me think of real divas. shakira in la toturan n big up for the prowess and eloquence in the language. con'todo mi amor! you rock mrembo!
but it doesnt seem to be the same voice. is really she who sings in Lea Halalela?
wrong pronunciation
Her name is Consuelo Velazquez (Mexicana) :D I feel so proud 2 be Mexican ^^
gold digger!!! Leave Ndlovu alone!!! Nice, chilled tunesmithism on this beat though....
legacy should ba carried forward..love the music
a pure waste of mbs
goodness....she;s good in this song..
ndiye aikwirwa naPeter Ndlovu here uyu?
Dear Khululiwe, never stop carrying your husband's ishoba. We love you and will never forget him, beloved prince of all. Ten times love
yap she should speak her language
gengeman, i guess you might be unfamiliar with the wors of angelique kidjo. she's from perhaps the smallest of african countries, benin, where they speak fon, and yet she's one of africa's biggest singers. it's purely because there're so many languages that most people get into the melody and not the lyrics.
Nice version. but I'm confused as to why she has her headphones going into the input of a fender deluxe reverb amp. Unless there are actually little tiny microphones inside them recording the sound coming from her ears then it makes very little sense.
hot.
Loved every part of your video and every word. Mucha bonita dada. You have inspired me a lot been trying to learn Spanish for last two years and you know as they say "estan dificil", lakini sija kufa moyo. Asanti sana na uendelee tu hivyo hivyo. You will get nasty and positive comment but you have done something many people won't dare, because you are strong...Porque mucha fuerte senora.. And don't listen to haters.
genge-man. look dude, you are one of the africans who are stuck up in "africacn pride" kind of ish. if you try travelling, you will find junguz who grew up in kenya, they cannot speak good engöish, and laugh when you shrub. tembea bro. otherwise you will just embarass your-self. anyway, my bad. this is smooth jazz and is quite different from "genge" au sio?
Howw! Got to love the retro or old school sound. A real coming of age.
no wonder kenyans dont win awards even in africa now who speaks this language in africa how do u expect me vote for this pliiz
Good work chica.
