With COVID-19 pandemic making our lives hard, such timeless voices are giving us hope. Nairobi, Kenya loves you guys. Without forgetting my village in Malava, Kakamega county of this Kenyan republic.
Swahili pleases my ear as much as Zulu. I used to play music with the Reverend Baraka Mathew from Kenya and Robert Tsang from Tanzania who teaches Swahili and African dance at Dartmouth College in Hanover New Hampshire, U.S.A.
I can Relate my brother, I was going to my Sisters graduation in U.S.A 2006...This was the only song and album was on repeat...Myb we were on the same plane
Listening to this song as a child was horrible but along the line it has been what is meant when they say music You will never understand if you have never being in a slave like position to yourself

Finally got to see them live, in Irvine California. It was a dream of mine to see them live and I'm happy now, my favorite song.

I don't even speak this language, but I feel like I understand everything they're saying. It speaks to my soul.
If you would understand you would see the words are beautiful
And sometimes funny
Like when they sing about girls
Nomathemba is a girl
True
Rest in peace BabuShabalala, imisebenzi yakho ngempela iyakukulandela. Phumula qhawe laseMzansi Afrika
