    I think Eric is the best singer for freedom, I know. It was me a pleasure to translate many of his songs in my special German. Eric I love your songs very much.

    I love this soooo much. One of his best. I heard it live a few times in OZ, with my young girl daughters. They have never forgotten the passion.

    When he performed this at a concert in Ireland years ago, everybody was weeping. Beautiful.

    Eric closed first half of a set with Band Played Waltzing Matilda, and I couldn't believe he could go any higher. This song proved me wrong.

    I have been listening to Eric singing this song since I bought the original album of the same name at the Australian Pavilion at Expo '86 in Vancouver, Canada. The original did not finish with SHOSHOLOSA. Instead it finished with repetitions of "Courage, brother, you do not walk alone. We shall walk with you and sing your spirit home" - the last few a cappella. By the time the 5-disc collection also titled "Singing the Spirit Home" came along in 2001, SHOSHOLOSA had been added. Either version is great.

    Love it. I still find it funny that the "African" song they sing in the background is a Shona reaction to a "choo choo" train running through Rodesia. Chocholoassa just means "choo choo train" and it was written when Zim was still Rhodesia.

    "... the bad old South Africa not the new democratic one" Is he kidding or just ill informed?

      We have to hope that this is now just a step, ultimately forward.

      Hardly ill informed! You obviously are not familiar with Australian humour.

      This was recorded almost 20 years ago when there was still hope of a better tomorrow...

    I heard on a cd for children of South African music that there was a tradition of villagers singing together to get their children to sleep, because singing drowned out the sounds of the jungle, instead surrounding them with sounds of security and love. This was the introduction to the song "Mbube" (The Lion Sleeps Tonight). I wonder if the singing of those prisoners was inspired by this tradition.

      It could be, but somehow I don't really think so, I wonder if the same thing happens in other countries where capital punishment is in use, certainly in the book The Chamber by John Grisham, I understand the lead character, who's a condemned member of the KKK, has other prisoners singing to him as he's led away to the gas chamber.
