Hey guys! Ngasii from TYHN with the context here. I am late as the hell but here goes: Gugulethu is a township in the Cape Town in the Western Cape province of South Africa. It is pronounced goo-goo-leh-too meaning "Our pride" in Zulu (and Xhosa [although it is generally accepted to belong to Zulu as Xhosa has its own word for pride being "Bhongo/Bongo - pronounced bhoh-ngoh.] (snethemba snera, 2019). The singer's name is Indlovukazi which directly translates to "Female Elephant" but contextually means 'Queen' in context (1) - a clan name among Nguni speaking people (2). David said it correctly. Ndloh-vu-kah-zee. The "ndl" sound is pretty much like literally trying to say "d" and "l" at the same time. This will happen when your tongue rises to the roof of your mouth for when you say "d" but instead of releasing the puff of air the generally roles down the center of your tongue, the air the is pushed to either side of the tongue that both feels most natural and sounds the best. The sound you may compare this to is the buzz of an electric shaver but much softer. This song if I am not mistaken is sung in Swati (which is spoken in South Africa and eSwatini [formerly Swaziland which is eSwatini in English]) (,Buthanani Madlavu, 2019) if I am not lying again your first experience of it on the channel and does indeed speak of the life of the township or as it is sometimes called the "location". Historically, the locations were areas created for/by people of colour to keep them out of the gentrified streets of apartheid South Africa and Gugulethu is an example of this. Disclaimer: To all my Swati speaking peeps, please forgive my spelling. Indlovukazi's main refrain or chorus: Safa mnandzi bo (It feels good to be here) 'Ngato ng'phazamisa (don't come bother me) Khona la eGugulethu (here in Gugulethu) Khona la eGugulethu Part of her bridge before returning to the "Gugulethu" hook and then the refrain: Kuyakhipha elokishini Kumnandzi sibumbene Siyasitana s'jabulile Bo makhelwane baya philisana These lyrics speak of how life in the location is amazing (despite what you might think), people are happy, neihbours are neighbourly to each other and the vibe is always up and alive. In many ways the vibe feels better than being in an urbanised town or city because of the people and the spirit of togetherness that they possess. To all Gugulethu residences and locals, and Swati speakers that can add more context, spelling correction or anyone who wants to chip in please feel free and welcome to do so and help paint an accurate picture🙏🏾🙏🏾🙏🏾 Was this your first 10/10? It's the first I'm seeing but I don't mind one bit🔥 Shout out to Ubunifu Space for continuing to bringing the fire🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 Footnotes : (1) Correction on Ndlovukazi context coutersy of Thembinsoki Khumalo, comment given 8 July 2019. (2) Suggestion to amend 'Nguni speakers' courtesy of Brian Dakuse, comment given 8 July 2019.
iNdlovukazi is a Queen mother by the way.. its direct translation is "Great Elephant" That is how Queen mothers are referred to in Xhosa, Zulu, Swati and Ndebele
You guys are killing me! All of you together are my exact reaction every time i hear this song. A tear drop or more run down my eyes when i listen to this beat! Prince Kaybee is like some MAD sound engineering GENIUS! Thank you for this, it was nice watching my reaction through other people😂🙌🏾
Yeah David your Pronunciation was spot on...u guys should visit our country...u will go home and have a lot to think about. Afrika is our pride and joy
Shout out from Africa...Prince kb has the right formula for bangers...this is a more chilled out song...you can dance to it and also can just chill to it...either way its a vibe.
0:52: Heeey! Ngasii from TYHN with the context. Pro Tip: General rule - if you see "th" coming from South Africa, it is not the sound in English but simply the "t". The "t" on its own would be a hard "t". So Gugulethu (which means "Our Pride" in Zulu) is said 'goo-goo-leh-too'. Just something small for now. I will leave a full comment later.
I'm so proud rn, that's my favourite song and you guys gave it a 10 it DESERVES!! Also well done David for pronouncing iNdlovukazi correctly and you're right man, Prince Kaybee is a SCIENTIST. A musical GENIUS👐😢❤👏 ZA
Thanks again for that heated reaction!!! More fire to come from Prince Kaybee, featuring the awesome Nhlanhla Nciza from the group Mafikizolo around Sept/Oct, I heard a glimpse of the beat and it is wild fire. Keep reacting to SA music, I loved this
I'm from SA and I've loved this song without seeing the video. First time seeing it and I agree with everything you guys have said. Watching this review reminded me why I love his music.
You guys always give me goosebumps with your reactions to our music😭🙏😊😊😊❤❤We appreciate you guys...This song is currently our jam, we party all night with this song😄😄😄Prince Kay B never disappoints ❣I love you guys....
FINALLY...... you guys have reacted but we have beeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeen jamming. Like you said South Africa is a whole vibe and as much as you feel it when you watch our videos... I think the next step for Ibunifu space is you guys need to come to our country. It is a different vibe in each city however it is always United. If you understood our 11 languages, you would feel the music more. You guys need to be sponsored to come visit and experience the Clubs, townships, house parties and daily life........ we are looking forward to seeing you
Top 3 from Prince Kaybee 1. Wajelwa 2. Gugulethu 3. Banomoya ft Busiswa Headsup, Prince Kaybee is going to become a contributor on FruityLoops the beat making app.
Shame on you South African people they don't like people from outside so you want to kill some of cuz I see burning a life person in the Tv 😭 no am from Sweden❤
Great reaction for a great song , give credit to Supta and Afro brothers as well cause without them there wont be no Gugulethu....then again great reaction @13;49 its like am watching Nollywood... mad noise
Guys i must tell you one thing about SouthAfrican townships, you might see the Sharks or Wendy houses,but get inside those Wendy houses and their outfits, my point is you can judge South African by their background, and they will drive BMW but coming from the townships. anyway big up to keybee for shwoing who we really are
It's so funny looking at old videos seeing how David has always been and still is told to hush up when he pronounces SA artists' names better for a non-South African 😂 - Love y'all anyway for trying, so cute really. Start listening to him guys 😂
South Africans where you at 🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦
Am here
We are here 🙋
We make good music here
feeling so proud right now
Eyyyy, I'm a Yoliswa too✊🇿🇦🇿🇦
Well done David.. your pronunciation of iNdlovukazi was spot on
Andile Daliwe iNdlovukazi. The N is crucial. Means queen.
@@azaniaafrika9862 🙈 I forgot the N
Yet he was told to shut up,how funny 😢
@@njabulogodfrey2039 lol I felt bad for him. Lapho he said it well and easy. Big up Dav
@@polzoh3697 it all lied upon their approval of which turned out to be wrong,it happens even in life where someone's fate n his paths should cross🤧😓😰
David out there pronouncing Indlovukazi like a true South African ✊🏽
Yeah bro
David said it the right way
Very true they should ey....errtym that song places it's a turn up mum .we all lose our morals 💃💃💃❤❤

South Africans got Mad swag!🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦🇿🇦 Love and blessings from East Africa Somalia🙏♥️

We love you too🇿🇦❤
Thank you
Love my brother 🇿🇦🇸🇴
Big Ups to @DaveySoul for pronouncing Indlovukazi the correct way at 1:05
David sad the word right but the .....kazi sounded like khazi for me...
Msizi Zulu He pronounced it how the 1652s do
Lethubuhle Hlongwane exactly😃
David really did say it properly. Wooow
Prince won a DJ and producing competition on national television called 1s and 2s, that's how he came into the mainstream.
He's amazing, and the woman's voice is so powerful
Guys David got it right but you were so SAVAGE in shutting him down. :(
In a few months time we wont be talking about Gugulethu coz we will vibing with another Prince Kaybe song
Literally!
Thats true
TRUE DAT BRO!! It's like he knows exactly wat we want.
Prince kaybee is doing the most 🙌
He is the legend 👌👌
Who else felt like the song was theirs on behalf of Prince Kaybee when they clapped at the end??
This is so me!!!!!!
David actually killed that Indlovukazi pronounciation!!
Battery died just before the *drop* 😂😂 it has no timimg
"Is he driving again?that's his thing" 😂😂😂
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 I died
I waited for what seemed like an eternity for this reaction 😭😭😭
This is awesome😁Can you guys please react to our national anthem Sister Bethina😁Hibiri!!
Please guys
Kgomotso Mathe 🤣 our national anthem!
Sister Bethina makes young & old loose thier morals 😅
They must do that
@@kimmpofu6988 Yes it's our national anthem😂We all love that song
Hey guys! Ngasii from TYHN with the context here.

Historically, the locations were areas created for/by people of colour to keep them out of the gentrified streets of apartheid South Africa and Gugulethu is an example of this.
Disclaimer: To all my Swati speaking peeps, please forgive my spelling.
Indlovukazi's main refrain or chorus:
Safa mnandzi bo (It feels good to be here)
'Ngato ng'phazamisa (don't come bother me)
Khona la eGugulethu (here in Gugulethu)
Khona la eGugulethu
Part of her bridge before returning to the "Gugulethu" hook and then the refrain:
Kuyakhipha elokishini
Kumnandzi sibumbene
Siyasitana s'jabulile
Bo makhelwane baya philisana
These lyrics speak of how life in the location is amazing (despite what you might think), people are happy, neihbours are neighbourly to each other and the vibe is always up and alive.

Thank you @@masimasipa I love to help🔥🎉
I LOVE south African music and people, I have to visit this magical country sometime😭
iNdlovukazi is a Queen mother by the way.. its direct translation is "Great Elephant"
That is how Queen mothers are referred to in Xhosa, Zulu, Swati and Ndebele
Bonga also how an elephant family group is led by a matriarch and rule is passed down the female line.
@@azaniaafrika9862 wow I did not know that..thanks for sharing
Aah thank you for sharing, and we say Ndovu in swahili kazi is work, kinda sounds like work elephant, i love this joint anyway
Lol...i have a friend named Queen Ndlovu and i call her Ndlovukazi
Tonye"south Africa issa whole vibe"

Dee candidly always said this! Glad I was not saying so just Because I’m South African.

Very true, SA has always been lit..
Coming from SA. And born in Cape Town. This is the most popular township in Cape Town.. this is a party township...

The word "gugulethu" means our pride, in Zulu, Xhosa and Swazi.
Xhosa
isiZulu
siSwati
check TNS ft Indlovukasi - My Dali
They must actually give credit to TNS cause he mainly produced most of Prince KayBee's HITS, the real Animal is TNS.
If Tonye Approves then it's definitely a VIBE
