    I'll have to give TH-cam credit for one thing, at least. It brings a lot of great international music to the greater populace.
    Years ago, thanks to Paul Simon, I was introduced to Ladysmith Black Mambazo and now I find this.
    Most of us live sheltered lives when it comes to music of the world.
    This is wonderful stuff.

    There was a music video from back in the late 80s to early 90s that had a mid tempo to slower melody and 3 women dressed just like these wonderful women and they were dancing and there was a guy singing with them as well. I thought it was this group here. The video would be played on BET network on Saturdays only. I wish I could remember the name of the video/song. Blue background in the video.

    My dear friends,
    MBAQANGA, ..... is the Zulu's principal dance & musical rythm !!!!!
    It's artistically very rich and very demonstrative !!!
    MAHOTELLA QUEENS, are the best ambassadors of this very good music ; coming directly from R S A (Republic of South Africa).
    That famous girls say to their world fans :
    " Come on ... come on ... come on ... come on ... come on ...
    Let's do Mbaqanga ... Mbaqangaaaaa ... Mbaqangaaaaa
    Together and do Mbaqangaaaaa
    Enjoy Mbaqanga !!! "
    Very interessant and ... funny !!!!!
