My childhood music. Love from Abidjan, Côte d'Ivoire
What a great piece! Simon nkabinde Mahlathini,lion of Soweto rest peacefully sir!
Those were the days of real music
Hello beautiful and lovely people across the globe, I came here again today Wednesday June 1st, 2022 to listen to this great tune. Let me know if you're here. Once again much love from Ghana 🇬🇭🇬🇭🇬🇭
I live in Maine . Listened to lots of African music over the years. Sometimes Gospel, King Sunny etc.
But this is the fist time I've heard this one! It's awesome
My best of times, long live music. Voice of Africa
Thank you youtube for giving us this good music.
My DAD Joseph Makwela wrote this song for mom Thokozile
My name is Thokozile and definitely this will play on my wedding day❤
What does thokozile mean? Do you know?
@@presidentofkenya6896 It means I'm happy or happy one, normally feminine.
Africa. Africa. My home. I love Africa
That guy's voice is bad-ass
God bless the memory of Simon Mahlathini
Life is something else..The groaner , the guitarist and the trumpeter all dead...this piece was nicely and no better tribute can beat this
This music was the soundtrack of my youth. It was everywhere. This and West African highlife.
i love mahlatini and the mahotella queens,their music makes me so happy, the drawl of mahlatini will send any sad moments into the pit, no to talk of the beautiful mahotella queens,i love them so much
I wish we could go back to the times...
I feel the same
You don't need to be born in the 60's to connect with this majestic composition, real monate thwaa
U are 100%correct
When ever I play this song I see my dad who died 30years ago.charles moonga continue resting in piece (Zambia).
Go!! Royal Queens Of AFRICA!! Among The AFRICANS!! Africa UNITE!! Let My People Think. One World. One Human Family.
I still listen to this amazing song! Bless the Mahotella Queens, Bless Mahlathini (RIP) and thank you for making my life feel so happy at times that are so devastatingly hard
I saw them in 1969, if I recall correctly, in Zomba, Malawi and then took my wife to see them all on tour at UCSB (Santa Barbara) in the mid-1980s. What a thrill. While their short skirts drove the Malawian guys crazy, it was their happiness, singing, hot African tunes, exceptional music and dance and, of course, their terrific groaner that wowed the audience. What an experience! I still have the CD.
Kusonyeza ndinu akwathu I remember my mother akakonda nyimbo izi zamake dzana pa radio 1 lero ndangowakumbukira
Great song, beautiful people, thank you.
I regret never seeing them when they came to Los Angeles CA. What beauty!
Ohhh God. Too much love ❤️ my dad’s best from Cameroon 🇨🇲
These ladies were performers of note, were very dedicated to their graft.
True voices of Africa, great music will never die in our memories till we die
Thanks you for the remembrance !!! It reminds my youthful in 90's😊 at Gabon ! Beautiful voice and song ! Proud be african !
Proud to be an African
In this song, the Linn LM-1 was heard.
i love this music
The Queens delivered as always ...
Absolute magic. Love the Queens
RIP Mahlathini 😥
I ❤ South Africa.
?
Thokozile vula amasango singene sithunyiwe. Definitely this song will be playing on the day of my traditional wedding
Thokozile Sithole appropriate
I love this! I wish a beautiful future wedding for u
AAAAAhhhhhhhh the penny whistle... Coloured guy Born in the Northern Cape grew up outside Cape Town ...grew up with this music...a priceless blessing
Such happy music and great hats!
This music reminds of the 60th in my native country Ghana
Great penny whistle playing. Reminds me of listening to the Solven Whistles in the 60’s.
Solven Whistlers - sorry!
Thats pure south African sound
Such a beautiful piece by Mahlathini and Mahotela Queens, I am also amazed by the whistle blower it's so classic
So classic for real!
Should a put a ring on it !
Oh ! Late Mahlathini , rest in perfect peace you the old african man !
Long live the big and brave people and zulu nation!!
This song so cooooll
I love this song from as early as 1980s. Koo
Very nice songs all of them and it's boring my god and it's remind old days my my my my tanx a lot
Thanks for this, saw them on 1988 mini tour of UK when they played for SA students.
love it never knew there was a video. One of the ultimate wedding songs :-)
I wish I got invited to weddings like that ;-)
I'm normally standing around bored to death preying the DJ doesn't play any more Wham!
I love the tone colour
This is so legendary. What is going on in this music? Communicating with other-worldly beings or something
Lol, nope. It's actually a Zulu wedding Song. A girl by the name of Thokozile is excited because she is getting married. Uncles (on the groom's side) have been sent to Thokozile's Parents to negotiate the terms of the wedding (almost like bride price, but not exactly). It's a beautiful song of excitement and celebration. The attire they are wearing is a traditional Zulu attire. Zulu's use to dress like this centuries ago. Now we dress like this for special occasions, and sometimes music videos that embrace our traditional customs.
@@kwaziduma1530 Fascinating, thank you. Whatever the topic, this music is inspirational and I love it. I had been listening to a lot of Mfaz Omnyana's music and when my brother heard he told me about this group.
2024 i have a sibling called Thokozile hahaaaa
My dad's favorite
Saw a BBC feature on The Lion Sleeps Tonight just cijple says ago featuring the M Queens, all in their 70s as they were the singers years and years ago. Not swaying as much, but hey they are 70s. Interesting, enjoyable.
Musica Muy Escuchada en Cartagena y Barranquilla,Colombia,Sur America!
Thank you 🙏 Queens
Mamas - I love you
Fabulously joyful!!!!! Thank you, Brotherwhitelion, for sharing.
Nice one

What this song all about....just wondering?
The song is about the wedding of the beautiful Thokozile,
There is lots of dancing and singing... and the joy her husbands'
family brings, by giving a herd of heifer cows to her relatives
for her hand in marriage.
Sweet! Thanks!
oso polita
Zulu?!!! :o
床ずれ、ではない
Proud to be an African
Indeed this gives us reasons to be proud as African (from Zambia)
I love the tone colour
