Who's listening in January 2025? Remembering our hey days in the late 1980s with this song 🎵 We went ballistic in Nigeria 🇳🇬 The chorus baritone voices were what made this song so special.
I believe this song rocked the whole African continent, because in my country Kenya🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪 it was a hit, I heard it years later after I was born and it was still rocking.... Long live Yvonne
Paul this song brings a lot of memories. Myself and my late best friend Bos Pangus used it as our Friday Anthem after a hard weeks studies and football. Rest on Bos Pangus
I don't know about other countries, but in kenya her songs were like the only thing we got back then, when am listening to chaka chaka songs I can't explain the feelings,.. Memories 😊
Acá en Colombia exactamente en la costa atlántica somos muy caribeños nos encanta escuchar toda la música africana así no sepamos lo que dice pero la bailamos con mucho swing!
I'm 47 yrs old, still have vivid memories of this song playing while I was a child. If not mistaken, I was in Belgrade, ex-Yugoslavia when I heard it. Enkosi kakhulu Yvonne Chaka Chaka... Thank you SA. With love from Luanda, Angola ✊
From Zambia: I've loved everyone's good comment on our memorable songs of the decades.Surely 80s and 90s were, are days with full of it's joyous brimming and peaceful moments in most parts of our mother Africa. Still new my soul. Happy 2024 everyone here.
I'm Kenyan Ethiopian and my mom always made me listen to this, I now realize she's always had a great taste of music and I'm glad I can actually listen to this anytime ❤
March 2024 I'm fidelis from Nigeria,I so much love to play this music all the time. I was 7yrs when I do watch this music on black and white television early 90s
I'm moved to tears, full of nostalgia. I can remember when my late sister and I as little kids used to listen to this beautiful song, back in 1988. Sweet song with powerful lyrics and rhythm, evergreen, rooted in African culture. Sweet memories.
Sweet memories have a way of touching the heart. Sometimes leading one to desperately long to return to those fond times. All one can do is savor the current moments before they fade into sweet memories. You will be reunited with your sister and all who have gone before you, one day.
So in Kenya when I was young my friends were like Bwana Asamehe, Yesu Mkombozi......🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣.. We thought it was some gospel song..... But this has remained a jam all through the passage of time. God bless Africa, God bless E.A. region 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
Back then in 1987.. we didn't know that umqombothi was a locally brewed in SA.. we enjoyed the lyrics and danced to it..I only got to listen and watched the video keenly in 2010 to realize what the song was all about....just so awesome.. Missed my secondary school days.. The song reminds me of the passage of time and makes me teary. ...so nostalgic..
As a growing child, I always thought she was Nigerian. Her songs were everywhere! Thank you for the gift of you Yvonne Chaka Chaka. Our world would have been incomplete without you😊! Who's here in December 2024 and gallantly crossingbinto 2025?😊
I remember being 7 or 8 watching this video in my homeland DRC back in the late 80s early 90s. Here I am at 43, this tube still gives me vibes. Thank You Mama Yvonne ❤️
Yes best beer apart from commercial beers and great the best music. As the Chinese diplomat said 'when are you going to stop dancing and start working?'
Gosh!!! This song took my country Nigeria by storm '88. It was everywhere, parties. She filled our National Stadium, stampede. We appreciate this African Queen. Thank you for making my childhood great.
Love from the DR Congo!!!! I grew in Kinshasa and this was the biggest hit in the late 80s and early 90s in all of Africa! Yvonne Chaka Chaka became literally a queen after this song came out.
I love 💕 you, Yvonne! African Queen. You interest me so much. I heard this song since my childhood but is still interesting me! Why don't you come to Rwanda???
I started listening to this song when I was very young about 30 years now but it still sounds like new songs, this are people who made south Africa to be what it is today not those who are killing their fellow Africans out of hatred in the name of documents, may we find reasons to love ourselves again as one people Amen.
This song is so historic. Part of what made growing up in the '80s & early '90s for me unforgettable. Millennials were really blessed growing up with good music. Viva Africa! 🥰
This song reminds me of my grandma. she passed away last year and this was one of her favorite songs. I wish I will be able to listen to it without shedding a tear one day. she was such a jewel.
In the year 3000, you living Africans will read this message, we suffered a lot so that you could have the current life that you have today. Colonization freedom peace development we had to fight and shed blood too much life in human loss was shed. Be proud to be African and have lots of courage.
I m from dr Congo this song remind me when I was studying in vaal university of technology ,back then I used to date a south African girl that I won't forget . I love this music . maman Yvonne the greatest lady thanks .
I'm Isaac inside Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭 who is still listening song. Is one of the Africa greatest music ever. I don't understand the language but it blow my mind 🤍💚🇬🇭🇬🇭
Nostalgia at its peak.... This song blew all over Ghana when i was very young. We did not understand the lyrics so we came up with our own twi version.... our sbasically translated ... someone's goat is dead, take it to the mortuary..... oh my
When Chaka Chaka brought love 💕 of all Africa to South Africa. No xenophobia No violence One love 💕💕💕💕 Africa. Almost a National Anthem in Nigeria in 1988 no Day is complete without this music.
Even now in 2024, Chaka Chaka, this is one of the songs I grew up with that changed the face of Africa. How Music changes the world. Love you loads Chaka Chaka
This song reminds me of my first year in college-medical school at the university of Nigeria in 1987...it was a hit that year. We used this song as the basis of our student union election campaign that year for the student unions president, Joe Jackson...our translation was some thing like this...when guys are many...voting for Jackson!...when guys are many....voting for Jackson!🥰...those were fun days no doubt!...I am sure anyone who was there that year could relate to this. Really nostalgic!
I can play this song all year without getting tired,just like I have played it over the past two decades now. Those of us born in the 90s should count ourselves lucky enough to have witnessed 2 decades of music boom (80s and 90s) ... I am lost in nostalgia anytime this music comes on. Life was better in the 90s than what we have now!! Thanks Yvonne Chaka Chaka for leaving this masterpiece for the history book... 📌❤️
What does white have to do with it? Why mention that? Also for yiur own information White is not African. Same as a black person can never be European. Blacks are Africans. White are European.
@@anthonygordon9483When was the first time you heard this song? As a Nigerian I heard it growing up in the 1980s. It reminds me so much of those days. I love you our beautiful Yvonne!
This song makes me very proud to be African now that I’m listening from abroad it brings me tears of joy, I remember this song playing at the bus station when I was a boy travelling with my aunt to the village,❤❤❤

I just remembered this song now, not even sure why, heard this on tv a few times as a child. Stuck with me for over 20 years just now found . Brings peace to be able to watch the video, brings me to tears. Thank You Jesus for how far you've brought me.
The only South African song I ever listened to when I was still small in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It brings back my childhood memories in my parents house. This song played over and over while I was playing outside with my big sis. Best song of all times!
My late dad used to play this song during my childhood and i still remember it just like yesterday. Danm! how time flies so fast . I'll always remember those days. RIP daddy🙏😢🇬🇭🙏
This masterpiece makes me remember my dad...one afternoon we were seated under a tree in our homestead busy shelling maize after the harvest and using the maize cobs as firewood...this song played on radio and when I asked was told she is from SA...she sings about alcohol....continue resting with angels dad🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪
I am a young Cameroonian, who have 21 years old but I love this song since i was a little girl and today , I will still love it for the rest of my life. ❤, African child and proud of it 🥳🥳🥳
This must have been produced during difficult times with apartheid, makes me almost cry with emotions, wel done Yvonne Chaka Chaka, great song; Count me as a fan.
This song was a sensation in the remote countryside of Uganda. I was frequently tasked with purchasing cigarettes while our parents enjoyed their drinks, creating cherished childhood memories brimming with love and innocence.
Its high time I go back to my old skull songs. Full of meaning and heart warming songs. Brenda, Miriam, Angelina , kuti, and many of the past heroes. I miss them all.
Good old days! This was my brother's and mine favorite back them. As kids we didn't care about the lyrics we just sang along how we understood. My younger sis will also be seriously sing everything upside down😂😂😂. I feel so nostalgic right now. Thank you mummy chaka chaka for this memorable song.
2024 still hitting....my Dad was a Carpenter back in the days and could repeat the song the whole day...thanks to Radio cassetes and compact disks....he would roll the disk with a pen to repeat the song.....sometimes we listen to songs just for memories

I’m American, but I adore Yvonne Chaka Chaka! My childhood friend, Carol, used to love Africa and its music, and I can see why. Rest in peace, Carol!
I just remembered this song now, not even sure why, heard this on tv a few times as a child. Stuck with me for over 20 years just now found . Brings peace to be able to watch the video, brings me to tears.
Thank You Jesus for how far you've brought me.
The only South African song I ever listened to when I was still small in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It brings back my childhood memories in my parents house. This song played over and over while I was playing outside with my big sis. Best song of all times!
My late dad used to play this song during my childhood and i still remember it just like yesterday. Danm! how time flies so fast . I'll always remember those days. RIP daddy🙏😢🇬🇭🙏

Listening with full moon smiles. Just like yesterday, life has lived through us and I can only be thankful. More than 30yrs and still feels fresh!
Couldn't have said it better.

This masterpiece makes me remember my dad...one afternoon we were seated under a tree in our homestead busy shelling maize after the harvest and using the maize cobs as firewood...this song played on radio and when I asked was told she is from SA...she sings about alcohol....continue resting with angels dad🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪

I'm dedicating this song to my brother Dennis Rono , he used to like this song. Bringing back our childhood memories
I am a young Cameroonian, who have 21 years old but I love this song since i was a little girl and today , I will still love it for the rest of my life. ❤, African child and proud of it 🥳🥳🥳
This must have been produced during difficult times with apartheid, makes me almost cry with emotions, wel done Yvonne Chaka Chaka, great song; Count me as a fan.
This song was a sensation in the remote countryside of Uganda. I was frequently tasked with purchasing cigarettes while our parents enjoyed their drinks, creating cherished childhood memories brimming with love and innocence.
Listen from Kenya I❤ this song.
Its high time I go back to my old skull songs. Full of meaning and heart warming songs. Brenda, Miriam, Angelina , kuti, and many of the past heroes. I miss them all.
Same her Also
South African artists need to give us these kinds of rythms again.
They have lost their musical value
Good old days! This was my brother's and mine favorite back them. As kids we didn't care about the lyrics we just sang along how we understood. My younger sis will also be seriously sing everything upside down😂😂😂. I feel so nostalgic right now.
Thank you mummy chaka chaka for this memorable song.
Happy New year❤
