@@dontaylor7315 they attack other Africans in their country in ways that are unimaginable. They put tyres on their necks,cut their legs and hands into half and stone them to death. Both men and women in what can only be described as animal behaviour. All because they think Africans coming there are taking away their jobs.Try and Google xenophobia in this country and if possible you can find videos.
Mbombela is a train, and as such this song is part of an important body of South African art that is concerned with the challenges and circumstances of travel. This preoccupation speaks to the difficulties faced by migrant workers forced to travel long distances to meet the economic and political demands made by colonial and apartheid era administrations. It speaks of cross-border trains taking people into exile, and it recognises the pain of lovers and families left behind. “Wenyuka umbombela (Here passes Mbombela) Wenyuka ekuseni (Passes in the morning) Webaba uyandishiya (father you are leaving me behind)”. - bandcamp
As an indigenous people this made me tear up...reading and listening made me really sentimental about how we've come a long way and we're still fighting for equality, freedom and peace. Much love from Fiji 😍
Am not a South African but anytime i hear a South African song i feel it in my blood i think i have spiritual connection from South Africa . I feel my Ancestors are from there. But am a Ghanian living in Germany
We who happened to be born in those days when South African music was the theme of our daily breath,South African music has always left an imprint in our lives that we can never quit or even think of anything more home than South❤❤❤❤ Love from East Africa,Uganda.
I m a Nigerian but no other African nation or kindred has been blessed enough to render music with the sonorous rendition and spiritual joyous arrest of the people of South Africa.They really have a rendezvous with God with regard to music.
@@lehakwelesetla1631 This is their popular music they just sing. Their traditional music is harmonized that is a great thing. Not many Africans harmonized their music traditionally. I wish more of them did. The South Africans have a vibrant culture. I praise the Lord for this.
@@enn4983 Along with polyrhythm and call & response, harmonies are almost uniquitous to most of african traditional music. We can argue on the style or intensity, but rhe majority of african music has harmonies in abundance.
No one on Earth that can sing like Hebrews. We are the children of the Most High. Salute to all the African Race in the entire world. I love you my brothers and sisters.
“Wenyuka umbombela”speaks about the train that goes early in morning separating one from their parents.The songwriter bemoans the calamity of being left alone while the father is gone with the train.Remember in our African culture a father was a symbol of protection of the family.The train used to be the mode of transport for the migrant workers in the pre colonial South Africa.The song writer expresses deep concern of being left behind by the train somehow making him/her vulnerable to life challenges.This is a highly metaphorical song typical of an original African genre which speaks and communicates greater messages faced by Africans during the colonial era...This piece of art can be cross referenced to the “Shosholoza”song which was originally sang by the Matebeleland migrant workers( now called Zimbabwe) on their way to South Africa to work in the mines...The tone of the song is very befitting the message being conveyed as it expresses deep sadness caused by the train taking people to exile.One can easily think that this is a religious song but it’s not.This was deliberately done to make sure that the seriousness of the message being communicated reaches the listenership...
I am American black women and even though I don't understand what they are singing I know they are uplifting our God of Israel. I love!!! this song. It's so beautiful!! soulful!! God bless!! the Soweto Gospel choir.
This song is so addictive. I can’t play it just once at anytime. I put it on repeat. So uplifting to my soul. The harmonies are out of this world. This is a God-given gift.
I looked for some wonderful music on TH-cam and here it is. For whatever reason this is far more satisfying than anything originating in the United States. Maybe it is the authenticity and their pure intention. Thank you, Africans. You set a fine example.
Hi Noe, you should look at the music from the Congo from the `50`s onwards. The sweetness of it, the vastness. It is an Opus Magnus to be treasured, as it rightly is by much of Africa.
just like the Congolese, South Africans have powerful music talent which if properly exploited can economically and spiritually uplift the people there. I always love south African music. Remain blessed
I am Nigerian But I love South African Songs So much.. I wish i had the chance to be in South Africa to Sing like them. My spirit so much love south African Songs
I use Mbombela everyday to go to work and I play this song through my headsets and I quickly forget how crowded the train is. Angelic Voices making my mornings to start off feeling blessed.
I used the city bus in Richmond Virginia USA every morning, & I also put my headphones on & listen to Yolanda Adams every morning. The mornings seemed brighter, the ride was much faster, nobody ever bothered me... Gospel music is a weapon bc the Word says that praise confuses the enemy! Thank you Jesus🕊️🤍
I'm from Ghana but anything i listen to this particular song i feel peace in my heart and know there better days a heard. Master class piece from this choir. Good job 5 star rating.
South African deep rooted gospel music emphasizes the belief that language is not a barrier in music. They blend their experiences during the Apartheid era with their cultural and traditions then fan-tune them in a Christian gospel manner. The end results are always explicit, soul touching, spiritual and emotional. This creates great privilege for the auspices of the throne room perspective from heaven above to open the gates of blessings, healings, redemption, remembrance and divine grace unto mankind as God himself in his own glory is touched and has no other option than to respond to mankind once more. God bless Africa 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾
No proud of being black, no pride of being white, no proud of being asian, no roud of being a race. Proud of having the blessing of being created by God having the same value in God's eyes. I have pride in Him. May the humans have pride in being all created different from each other but at the same time united in Him.
Je ne comprends pas cette musique mais quand j'écoute ça j'ai la chaire de poule et j'ai les larmes qui coule comme ci ça me parlais surtout quand la femme vient répété les mots. Merci seigneur pour cette belle musique 🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾.🇨🇲
This song gives me chills every time I listen to it even though i dont understand the language, i feel blessed 🙌. They are truly talented. #theprideofafrica
All the scientific advances, medicine and healthcare advances, technological achievements of western society...your praise by voice minimizes all that. I look forward to hearing your voices at the gates of heaven. Beauty pours from the hearts of Africa as it has poured from the heart of our Creator. A Canadian woodsman salutes you.
South africa you are blessed with voices jamani🔥🔥🔥🙌..... nyie watu Mungu aliwapa sauti and no one can imitate that... I'm being honest❤... much love from 🇹🇿
Talent is all over the world but when Mzansi folks sing it's something else. It's more than just music, it's spiritual awakening 😭😭😭 Soul summoning harmonies❣️
Their voices are stunning Every time I listen to them I'm feeling like...I can't describe it. 'Cause of them I want to join a choir and sing Even if don't understand a word, they spread huge joy with their songs. Love from Cameroon
Song was originally mama Miriam Makeba. (First version i heard more than ten years ago)Used to listen to her album back in the day from cameroon 🇨🇲 . I thought it was gospel. Its now i have read comments and understood the music. Great remastered by Soweto Gospel Angels. #MbombelaTheMorningTrain

Why can't we scrap the borders and release Afrika back to her freedom? This choir is singing in my very own language!...spoken in the East of her. I love Afrikanicity
I'm a Chinese staying at South East Asia. This voice came over when I swipe through Facebook story and this friend of mine from South Africa use this song as background. I fell in love with this song genre immediately. Definitely one sweet gift from heaven!
