Oliver Mtukudzi - Kupokana

Oliver Mutukudzi with a song called Kupokana - a warning to be careful about the words that come out of your mouth.
As the BBC's Connected Africa Day focuses on Africa's new broadband connectivity, Network Africa sessions step in to provide you with the opportunity to really test the new technology by watching the great Zimbabwean singer and guitarist, Oliver "Tuku" Mtukudzi performing two tracks live in our Bush House studios.

[@murigukabugi]

There is a connection in bantuish Languages, look ...
1. Muromo - Zimbambwe
2. Muromo/Kanua - Kikuyu
3. Mdomo - Kiswahili
4. Monoko - Lingala(Congo).
Sounds like one common language .
Muromo = Mouth, no need of translation.
From Thika, Kiambu, Kenya

[@mokotopontshosebela4958]

In Sepedi language South Africa is molomo

[@gushtosticketv1691]

[@RodGab749]

[@mbacorporate7482]

can someone translate the song to us, pliz.

[@achapata84]

Kupokana is a conflict. He is singing about the need to control one’s words coming out of the mouth.

[@brianmpemba5967]

I really need a translation

[@d12cov38]

mouths are for controlling,words needs care,some things they day can be destructive
in those lines,thats the theme

[@rodrox174]

[@letharmalethat1397]

Ndipo Samanyangu👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽

[@nosaokuns]

No offense, but please dont compare Tuku to R kelly. If you want to compare him to a westerner, it will be the likes of; Nate King Cole, Marvin Gale, Cole Train, Louis Armstrong, Miles Davis, Art Blakely and Thelonious Monk

[@kbkabudura7846]

You can't compare this guy to western guys this guy sings life, a song that will work today , tommorw, yesterday and in the future. It depends with your age to understand the meaning of the lyrics.

[@sithandwayinkosincube5014]

Love this song!

[@taperamasimbira8816]

Solo performance redefined.

[@andersonmutsetse4678]
