Umoja - South African show

[Heir2dkingdom]

They are from Africa and I enjoyed watching this video, the statement about indecent exposure, please we see more indecent exposure everyday on TV. No one has been slap with a fine for that. Walk on the street you see more that we need to.

[Yalandria]

Loved this show when it was In New Zealand, the lullaby song brought me to tears

loved it and reminds me of Ipi Tombi alot!!

[susieQ19876]

Wonderful show!

[amazingwomenrock]

I've just come from the Umoja show in Dubai (where the ladies were NOT bare-breasted LOL), and the show was as amazing as it the previous comments indicate it has been elsewhere around the world. It's two hours of high-energy dancing, singing, and drumming. The most joyfully exuberant show i've ever seen. Fantastic choreography, extraordinarily versatile performers. Magical, wondrous, not-to-be-missed. I would see it again and again.

[mintyy112]

Umoja was amazing.i've never seen anything so wonderful i hope they come back to canada again. That was just an uplifting show with beautiful tribal dancing and Zulu druming.

[VincehF]

The Umoja show now is in Madrid,Spain.I saw them two times and I thing I´m going to the show maybe two times more.Very sweet powerful and uplifting show...how sweet look the Zulu female dancers dancing bare breast tribal style! How powerful look the Zulu male drummers and dancers! How uplifting and touching is the music! Sweet very sweet and tender Africa in this Umoja show.

I just got back from vacation in South Africa, and I saw this group live in Jo'burg at their new theatre building. Their performance was simply AMAZING - I haven't seen anything like it in a long time!. Best show ever - you have to be there to fully understand. I heard they were in Canada sometime back - I pray they come here again.

[greentwenty2]

do u know if they have a CD? with all their songs? i would love to get a copy.

[harrisonmike]

yeah they sell a CD - brilliant production value. the click song is definitely incredible. perhaps you can try itunes or amazon.

as for the DVD, i finally got my hands on that - it's not very good in terms of production, still good to watch though. but yeah, nothing beats the live performance - i saw it in london three times...life-changing show!!

[bitforbyte]

I was able to see their performance when they were in Atlanta several months ago. What a great show it was! I hope one day they'll come back to the U.S.!

[crystallbaby123]

omg the live show is WAAAY better than the DVD!!

[noahbuiltark]

Victoria Secrets sells nice bra's.

[MiMiB80]

lol. I know , but this is their culture but we would be slapped with serious fine here in the USA for indicent exposture.

I would like to see the choir though sing live!

[leretour23]

I have seen them on stage 3 years ago in Toronto, they are amazing, I would travel the world to see them again. Hope they'll come back to Canada.

[overtube1973]

does anyone know where i can get the dvd?

[spidermonkeytoliet]

[spidermonkeytoliet]

i am from south africa and i watch this show it is amazing begin 12 and watching this is amaziong it reminds me of ipi tommbi

[wow123454321]

=D

[esquirestubbs]

wat is the name of the song the choir uses?

[bobfari]

@esquirestubbs Paradise Road

[sheera14]

south african music is soo beautiful

i recommend mafikizolo she's awsome

[usiniletee]

I think those saying that the word "umoja" belongs to so and so should get it right. I don't speak Zulu or Xhosa, but in swahili which I speak, umoja means united and 1 (no) is moja. When we are together in a group we say: tuko pamoja. When we are united in a course we say: tuna umoja. I hope this clarifies some misunderstandings here. Nobody is trying to hijack the show. By the way I watched it in Germany and loved it, it was amazing. I was particularly happy singing along and saying "umoja":

[spidermonkeytoliet]

i watched it it like my home country south africa i swear it is like south africa on brodway you should all see it i give 100000 stars omg i have to see it again you must watch this before you die

[Wallaaii]

The best stage show on earth, you have to there to witness, even on youTube it's stll less than 1%...Catch one of these show and it will change you for life

[Killiah90]

boom boom

[yollennie]

Im looking for one of the shows where there was a wedding i did the concert at my home n i want to see it again, i really enjoyed performing these dances, it actually the continuation of this part more or less the whole performance

[rrsrichard]

That was Ipi Tombi or Ipi Ntombi. The original show that opened back in the mid 70's. Actually it was the first show that broke the color barrier in South Africa. Whites and blacks sat together, wonderful huh? The song your looking for is Mama Tembu's wedding, which you can type in the search and hear on You Tube. Also you can hear Ipi Tombi as well. :)

[gofamogwera]

anyone with ipi ntobi, its also beautiful plis share!

[olivia23]

i went to see their show here in holland ( i'm from congo tho ) and i loved it ! they were dancing and singing like there was no 2morrow. beautifull

[kisirani22]

umoja is for all of Africa.I'm Kenyan but i say the South Africans have re-defined Umoja an it sounds mighty cool.Go South Africa!!!!where the strong live.Viva Africa.

[liyah2lefteye]

u wish dis was east african please. its down south but maainly praises the african continent bout east dont be silly. shame on you. the nerve to type dat eeh! umoja- the spirit of togetheress in what language...?

[sizwe4life]

it is Zulu

[Mlindos]

Ok you are definately clueless! Since when do east Africans speak Zulu or Xhosa and the other languages they use in their performances? Ask me I'm South African and your comment ticks me off!!!

[jenny28jex]

This video is just great. I watch it everday. I will like to watch the full individual songs and performances. I will like to look for them. Please can you send me the names of the different artist and songs in this video? Especially the choir in white. Thanks a lot.

[kualitee88]

apparently it was too noisey.

wot a load of bull! theres so much noise made by ppl down the west end every night and ppl cant do wiv a few drums bangin (in a rythym) how much foot tappin was in riverdance (dont screw cos i love that show as well) didnt hear any complaints about that.

[vincy2dboneJB]

[omotoni]

I am not sure if this is true, but i think South African are the most talented musicians in the World.

[Rouvanne]

Ahhh - we like to say so *wink*!

[maripa07]

you are right

[bongiwe]

in my own biased opinion i would have to agree :) that perhaps not the best musicians but the best singers, but its all subjective

[maripa07]

thats realy true
