A beautiful song from the most beautiful country in the world that also has one of the ugliest histories - South Africa. It was a product of its time, but still relevant today and not just in South Africa.
To comment on this song you need to understand what it is about. Having grown up in the country of its origin, being forced to participate in all that was wrong. It expresses exactly what a lot of people were feeling. It's an anthem for the people who wanted change. Please listen to the Bright Blue version, the original version...
@gentlemortal Thank you, in turn, for a very gracious apology. I was probably too harsh on Josh. He's a fine performer and I think, really, what distressed me was the rather flaky ethos of The Late Show for this song. The lyrics have something very powerful to say about a ruling elite in fear of, and repressing, a population which was, in fact, in pain. Both Dan Heymann and the Drakies are S.African and it's their history. It's great, now, to see the black and white kids singing together.
@gentlemortal Sorry you felt Josh was "insulted". It's because it's very much "my type of song" that I commented. Josh sings it OK but I was put off by the backing-group and the rather commercial feel. Probably unfair because it was The Late Show! Dan Heymann wrote it after being made to serve in the army under apartheid, repressing S.A.'s black population, and I think if you give it a commercial treatment you obscure the message. Check Bright Blue's and Drakensberg Boys' Choir purer versions.
NEGUINHO NEGUINHO VOCÊ ESTÁ TODO LINDO VOCÊ JOSH GROBAN MEU NEGUINHO
QUE LINDO ESSE MENINO HOMEM DE BOINA
