Tanzania - Swahili Bongo Flava - Saida Karoli (Kizunguzungu)

[TigerGraze]

My depth of perception is already connected to the root of this harmonious melody.

It is impossible for me to understand the denotation but I can imagine a world of thoughts out of it - magnificent composition.

As a music composer, it feels like I am already in a Soul Train and my journey is taking me to its destination.

[Brouk331]

It's a nice song. I like it.

[ishkaliana]

jas dor

[melitimo]

I connect so much from music from this country more than any other African countries music I've heard so far. Could be her amazing voice or maybe just maybe my family roots lay in this country Tanzania :-D

[FLASHBUDDHAI]

So its alove song as u can call it . Let me hope the translation gives u apc of the song. Thanks

[betty77fly]

@kemetian09

To me its the same. I'm only German. Anyway we all came from Africa.

[MDefsquad9]

@kemetian09 Get back to your roots by learning Swahilli =)

[ramapa1]

@MDefsquad9 Don't be so rude and mean, every human in this planet deserve to live and enjoy their culture without discrimanating to or from where they come from. So open your mind and start breathing the fresh air.

[MDefsquad9]

@ramapa1 my apologizes I didnt mean to come off rude and mean..I was just saying since that person loves this song that much and happen to be african american a descendant of Afrian people hey you should learn a mother tongue of Africa like swahilli so when you go back to this song you will feel more connected and understand as a person and with the ancestors and the people today. it was just a suggestion to get in tune of what you like. wasnt trying to be mean

[zooskie]

@MDefsquad9

rubbish, just keep quiet....

[MDefsquad9]

@zooskie how is it rubbish..i speaking truth...i know german song i loved and didnt understand the words..but i learn some german and went back to the song and i felt more connected with it because i knew what the words were..not know and knowing the words still had a good great aeffect on me..so what are you talking about zooskie?..why should i be quiet? why are you telling me this?

[ramapa1]

@kemetian09 Hi Kemetian, I agree with you, I love african songs, I am from Madagascar and Tanzania is just 2.5hr from my city, Mahajanga and we had lot's of Swahilis pple there and my father was speaking their language been a third generation Indian of Madagascar. I blood and my soul is african and I always listen african radio and music. I am mad of it. Thanks to the Internet and youtube.
