My family is incomplete without my mom , i lost her in 2017 but even today is as of she still on mutuary, i have no one i was her only child , i need you mama RIP
@PoleloKotsane being an ONLY child and Losing a MOm is not easy, rather light a candle and remember the good times you had the advice she shared with you. She is still around you today. Make sure her legacy lives on through the lessons in life she has taught you. share those lessons with your children, cousins, aunts, and uncles. this New Year's Day ... prepare lunch with loved ones and celebrate the life of your Mom. May your Mama be there to guide and protect you!
Not only South African the song is good for all of us especially when you know South African history I'm in love with the song keep it up vusi you are the best singer ever
@@sundiresibusisiwe9243 Very true!! The song is very spiritual to say the least. How many of these legendary and great Africans have we lost, globally? Brings tears to my eyes when I think about the struggles of the black man 😥
I respect xhosa people🇧🇼 black,proud and gifted. Theres never any xhosa musician who has failed me trust me. This song nailed it to the core I'm having goosebumps and crying at the same time! Theres something unique about the xhosa people?This was the best all the best Nova. Keep the flame burning!👏👏😍🙏

Am a Ghanaian and i just heard this song on Dstv...I don't understand a word but i fell inlove with the song immediately. You guys are amazing with music🇬🇭🥰🇿🇦
Basically, it is a tribute song..It says there aren't enough of us here.. then it lists names of great fallen south African musicians. Lucky Dube, Hugh Masekela , Mandoza, Miriam Makheba, Doctor Malinga, Ray Phiri, Brenda Fassie
This song deserves to be African national anthem, I’m a Malawian but I grow up listening to these legends they must continue resting in peace they made Africa proud

You should have kept this to yourself, like we are seeking approval from you, “get it right sometimes”? If you wanna compliment , do it, backhanded compliments shall not be tolerated
This song... AMAZING!!!! It's not about Xhosas or any ethnic group. Its about those legendary African brothers, sisters, mums, fathers, cousins, aunts, nieces, nephews and all the loved ones the Motherland has lost through departure from this physical realm. As the song says, we are not complete without these children of the soil, and they are numerous to be called by name. The good news is, the lady ululates and calls upon us as a black nation to "raise up" all these legends by honouring them, taking off from where they left, whatever their legendary path was, each one of them. Their spirit is waiting for the black woman and man to take up the mantle, and walk in their paths raising them up as we do so. The departed spirits are waiting on us to take action, move on and bring greatness to Africa again! This song is very spiritual and is embued with the spirit of our ancestors. Let's revive them! "... Bavuseni madoda baphakame bavavwe Baziseni kaloku sibaxhawule Nibombhes'ingubo Nibaxway'umthika Nibanik'itshoba Bombhelelen'ingoma Ningabadlel'indlala Ibingamanxil'engoma Omathand'uncuthu lweengoma okwelunga lwegwaba Iimvumi ebezintyiloza zindyondya Kutsho kutshilwe, kutshotshwe, kungqungqwe, kungqushelwe intab'egqirha Neyegqwirhazana...

As a motswana who was born and raised in Botswana this song speaks volumes... an amazing tribute to the departed souls who we grew up adoring, dancing nd singing to their songs even when we did not know what they meant.. vusi nova maan.. u gat me in my feelings with ur whole album... I am so in love with ur music
Lost my husband recently and i found this in his search history only this song it feels like he knew he was going only song he listened to only so attached to it😗
When ever I miss my brother who I was so close with... I play this song over and over.... i will cry so hard cause i know that i lost a close brother who loved me and made me feel that I do have a brother who cares a lot about me and so protective of me... may your soul rest in peace my big brother.
Why do people always have to say "I am this, I am that" as if that should mean something big? We are all kinsmen! Music is a universal language. We may be different here and there but we all came from one source. This is an incredible song...Being Zulu/Sotho, Namibian/Malawian/Zimbabwean etc. is not really important here...It's music...it speaks to the heart, not to a social construct
I really love this song... no idea, what his saying ( I think I get that it’s a tribute to all the fallen legends). But when the chorus comes in I sing along at the top of my lungs- I’m from Namibia
I am Zimbabwean but this Song is HOOOOT....Thank you for such incredible talent. We loved all the people who passed on. Jessica girl!!!!!......that language is rich!!!!
Every family... Every crew....every squad who have lost someone close to them.....will share a tear...whenever this song play.....thank you to the beautiful Xhosa poet featured...Africa unite#asphelelanga
Am actually a Nigerian...but d first tym I heard d music I loved it...I don't understand it but it touches d soul....well-done vusi..tnk u south Africa...
From the first time I heard this song on idol, I immediately went on iTunes and downloaded the whole album. As a Zimbabwean by birth It reminds me of home. I’m thankful you have shown the true African culture and honoured those who contributed to it. Love from the UK ❤️❣️
To my darling Husband and Bestfriend. Amazing Dad...I LOVE YOU always & forever. 1988-2021 ❤❤❤🕊🕊 🕊 And to all the young and old widows & widowers. May God continue to be our strength!🙏
I am not South African, but I recognise all the legends they are praying tribute to. That can mean only one thing----South African legends=Southern African legends.
My children and anyone who knows me already know this song is to be played at my funeral. Otherwise, I'll wake up, play it, and then go back to sleep. Much love from Kenya 🇰🇪. Amandla! Viva! Tuzidi!

Baby I love you too was enough time with girlfriend meery Ring siyabonga wife
Lala Jessica you were true musician master ❤. Thank you for sharing your talent with SA 😢❤
So we not gonna talk about that magical ending at 03:50 😢 goosebumps all over my body. Such a majestic ending
When ever I miss my brother who I was so close with... I play this song over and over.... i will cry so hard cause i know that i lost a close brother who loved me and made me feel that I do have a brother who cares a lot about me and so protective of me... may your soul rest in peace my big brother.
even though i cant understand i bet that this people are proud to be Xhosa
Very!
Why do people always have to say "I am this, I am that" as if that should mean something big? We are all kinsmen! Music is a universal language. We may be different here and there but we all came from one source. This is an incredible song...Being Zulu/Sotho, Namibian/Malawian/Zimbabwean etc. is not really important here...It's music...it speaks to the heart, not to a social construct

Please please translate, what does asphelelanga mean. Its such a touching song. I don't understand a word yet i feel it.
September 2020 who else has this masterpiece on repeat? Love from Zimbabwe
Am Kenyan but damn,,,, I've listened to this song for 100 times
I really love this song... no idea, what his saying ( I think I get that it’s a tribute to all the fallen legends). But when the chorus comes in I sing along at the top of my lungs- I’m from Namibia
Thats the beauty of Music hey, especially African music it transcends culture
We are together

From the first time I heard this song on idol, I immediately went on iTunes and downloaded the whole album. As a Zimbabwean by birth It reminds me of home. I’m thankful you have shown the true African culture and honoured those who contributed to it. Love from the UK ❤️❣️
June 2019 who’s with me...😜🙏🏼
Nice song
Im here
To my darling Husband and Bestfriend. Amazing Dad...I LOVE YOU always & forever. 1988-2021 ❤❤❤🕊🕊 🕊
And to all the young and old widows & widowers. May God continue to be our strength!🙏
I am not South African, but I recognise all the legends they are praying tribute to. That can mean only one thing----South African legends=Southern African legends.
Who else came back when he sang the song
He sang it just now
My children and anyone who knows me already know this song is to be played at my funeral. Otherwise, I'll wake up, play it, and then go back to sleep. Much love from Kenya 🇰🇪. Amandla! Viva! Tuzidi!

@tawandajapson2891 one that no one would ever forget 🤣🤣
Look at me who just discovered it after his performance at Zahara's funeral.what a song
@elizabethwachira7884 it is hands down, a great song! And Vusi Nova is extremely talented!

Im not from SA but I love this song its shows how united are the people of SA
