Yes I agree with you my friend in music
I like this oldest music from60s to70s like The Movers,Babsy Mlangeni,Teenage Lovers and many more.Can you please fined those I've mentioned pls@@isaackamungu5223
I have being listen to this album since I was 12 years old and still love to listen it now that I am 62 years old.May God bless them and All those who love their music.
I always remember my mum dancing and telling us stories about her youthful age
I cry when I listen to them. I know why I do so. During those days, few people could afford to buy their records, something that could have made them rich. It's possible that some of them died poor. TH-cam! Ndibamba ngazo zozibini for the addition of this jewel. I thank you very much.
This is our music legacy it rekindles nostalgia
This music brings tears to my eyes.
This will forever remind me of my childhood.
I don't think l will ever get tired of this song, i vividly remember this song when my elder brother bought the cassette in late 1980s . I cry anytime l listen to it. Though i don't understand any word there but it informs of apartheid policy in South Africa. It was a liberation song to my thinking anyway. Nelson Mandela rest in peace. Dark city sisters you will ever be blessed and remembered for ever
These songs makes me of my childhood of 1975 with my Mom at the lands of Marapong kgatleng district (may her soul rest forever)
What lovely good l do enjoy music during those days in west Africa Ghana in the early 60’s my father used to play your music as a wake up song l was a teenager then thanks even we didn't understand but enjoyed the rhythm ❤❤❤

I'm still playing it
I grew up listening to this music in the late 50"s and early 60's and is there anybody out there listening with me.
Hey, those were the days, man.
Nostalgic and healing music indeed.
Am with yu
I remember the good old days when I was young, I used to enjoy these beautiful voices and instruments
Joyce Mogatusi, Esther Khoza and the rest, RIP ladies you did your best on this earth.
These South African Songs reminds me of my friends from South Africa in Rungwe Secondary School
I cry when I listen to the Dark City Sisters. I know very well why I do so. During those days, very few people could buy their records, something that could have made them rich. In my bloc (about ten houses) in the location, only one house had a gramophone. TH-cam! Ndibamba ngazo zozibini for what you have done. I value greatly this musical addition. Thank you very much.
I was introduced to the music of these beautiful women when I was about eight years old. That was decades ago. I still remember every one of these songs. Lovely!
❤the sounds i will always love
It reminds me of my childhood days and primary school days in the 1960s. Reminiscent of the good old peaceful days good neighbours kind people and beautiful environments.
Dad, rest in eternal peace..🙏🏿 this morning l had a dream of you and though l did not see you, l heard this music playing at the background.. one of your favorites which you played on Sunday mornings with me budging you to play my favorite “epitikeleyhi”
Life was still good.
My dad will play this in the early nineties. We all loved it especially "elanga more". I grew up to discover that these songs were played in the late fifties. Wow!!!
One of my favorite songs
I was young then in the early 60s, each time I visited my brother in chingola Zambia. the dark city sisters music was simply the best. Even now I still enjoy this music.
In the class of it's own, the stuff that I grew up listening to since I was three and fifty six later.
Very nostalgic. I grew up with these songs in the early 70 in Jos Nigeria. Brings back memories of my Dad of blessed memories.
Thank you so much for sharing.
Jos?? This music reached Nigeria... woow!
Never i Can forget this crew where i discovered myself in to the deep pure African in thé 80es a Young student in the université of Ydé at ngoa Ekelle
Much Love for you DARK CITY *SISTERS ORCHESTRA
My eldest sister, these tracks reminds me of you, those years when I was still a little boy walking with you down to the Willows Village. May you continue resting in peace, I will always remember you.
I have been listening to this album for the past 40 years and I don't think I will get tired or bored listing to it. Each time I listened, its as refreshing as the first time I did. Though I don't understand the language the songs were sung but there songs are beautiful.
I grew up listening to these songs with my dad. Tnk u TH-cam for uploading. Still playing it in 2022.
What a wonderful vocal group that graced my youthful days in Nigeria long time ago. I doubt if they were appreciated enough, but never mind, time and posterity will appreciate them more.
They are still the best,I wish it can be sold in Cd's now
Beautiful and haunting songs
My dad favorite music in the 80s, we enjoyed the songs
These songs evokes very fond memories of my childhood. My dad will always play these on his radiogram on Sunday afternoons.
Same here, my dad had most of their albums then; didn't understand the language, but loved listening to them; and I am Ghanaian.😊
I miss my dad so much. His favourite album in the 70s. Rest well daddy
You got just play one note then the hooks are back again. The sound just refuses to leave me unmoved.
Very heart touching songs . I was listening to them about 40 years ago . Thanks to the Dark City Sisters . I am an Ghanaian / Italian
my grandfather would always play the song rose to the absolute annoyance of my grandmother but somehow it always worked to keep the love until death did them part❤
I like the way you put it😂. Was you grand mother's name Rose?
Reminds me of my early childhood days when the Dark City Sisters were riding high on the African Music scene!
Can't be grateful enough to TH-cam for providing this forum in which their music reincarnates!
One of the earliest recorded African music.
They made quite an impression, bringing out the raw talent of African music, its beauty, potency and unique blend of voices and instruments that may have kept Adam and Eve from mischief in Eden!
We had this record at home when I was growing up. It reminds me so much of my dad, I miss him . Continue to Rest In Peace daddy. Love you always
We had this album too, but the person who loved it most was my mother.
@@Darubini2 with us it was the whole family. We always looked forward to Sunday afternoon when my dad would play the records as they were called
These songs among many others by the Dark City Sisters evoke fond memories of my childhood. My parents & siblings still mimick the lyrics of these songs regardless of the language barrier. Beautiful memories of the 1960s & '70s.
I love this great song lyrics since I was a little boy it's makes me feel very nostalgic. remembering those we love but see no more.
One of the first music I listened to as child. After school my mom will play the cassette and I will fall asleep.
Thanks for uploading and thanks to the Dark city sisters.
Some maybe gone and others, great grandmothers but your memories live on.
Ooohhh My Darling Mother! She Played With Smiles & Warm Whistlings. Sending This Her Way Immediately
These songs were sung by great ladies from Alexandre, a sprawling township in Johannesburg. Sadly, most members have been called to the Lord, but their music continues to touch many hearts.
I cry any time l listen to it
My eyes are full of tears remembering my late foster father in blessed memory. We do listen to these songs especially on Sundays many many years ago.
Way back when Alexandra was the home for us. Not now where were are strangers in our own land
I am ecstatic rediscovering this song. In the 70s it was so dear though we didn't understand a word. It just spoke to the soul.
absolutely, there is no doubt that this music speaks to the soul.
Good old memories in the early 60's we could dance what was known as twist dance as kids
Who's listening 2020..? Always beautiful..
I'm still listening to these tracks.
Im with my headphones listening to the Dark city Sisters.I was very only to fined out Iwas very fond of these typ of music
The twist dance time, Stonkfel at home was nice time., Madombi a maropo (Dumbling and Beef bones), My mother loved the first one and Setswana one, my father others especially those of other languages, he was multi linguistic, When Southern Africa was one country. He will need space to be alone in his world. I need Mshombororo song
Oh I really like this album, now I need the whole vol. 2 and 3 and Zulu vocal
it still makes me feel good
Never thought I'll find this, my dad used to play it on cassette 😢😭
Oh ma God..! This album reminds of my childhood days..! Thanks a million.
These songs bring back a lot of nostalgia, sometimes I shed tears listening to them even though I don’t understand a single word but all I know is that music transcends any language.
Remember my mother and her sister singing this song late 60_$
Thanks 👍
I first heard them over " Idhaa ya Biashara ya Radio Tanzania Dar-es-Salaam" in the early 60s and immediately captured my heart.
When I was a kid, we woke up to these awesome sisters, Tim and Forti, Mbilia Bel or Voice of the Cross, depending on who got up first: my mum, dad, or sister.
Such a wonderful music indeed... M 33 yrs old bt i love old classic songs amapiano n hip hop is nt my thn my age group regad me as boring n stayff...
I remember my late dad..... these songs
I am Kenyan but papa loved these songs... By then it was just cassettes
It reminds me during the dark ages when me other two friends decided to leave our country to go to exile
Y did they go for exile? It's a pity
Nostalgia. 😭
I grew up with this album. What year provoking nostalgia!
Its like a worship to someone high-God almighty
Thanks a million for posting this. Brings back memories of my late dad dancing with us his girls when we were kids.
Beautiful music in 2021
Many, many thanks!
They remind me of my dad. Miss you a lot.
This music always left me with 😭😭 tears whenever I listen to it both the inspiration it gives me and in remembering my late elderly brother who used to play it in our home early 80s may his soul rest in peace.
