Brenda fassie-wewe

[rubamann]

I'm looking for the south african song(old school) has these words "this is our tradition in Africa, we send messages through music". I cant remember the title and the artist who sang it. Its tunes have been ringing in my head all day. Please help.

[nekesa69]

lets impress the swahili language i could the most influential; language in Africa 

[maano618]

A legend we lost

[simbakafiri]

we should definately make SWAHILI africans trade and offcial language...it's proven beautiful and most spoken in Africa...what say you?

[Gozeski]

Wish I understood the lyrics.......

[Gozeski]

Love this song on so mahy levels!! It's an AFRICAN piece. BEAUTIFUL!!!

[xxpwincessjamicex]

Oh Lovely. Reminds me of homeland, Tanzania. Wewe hakuna matata :)

[Killakane77]

Brenda Fassie will live on forever in her music and love of life. I love her and her

family and music. the spirit of goodness dwells in her. Long live one of queens of

music. Your music gives energy, joy, motivation and encouragement.

[whoopiist]

Of all our local South African AFRICAN acts, Brenda wins hands down! This woman was a GIFT to traditional and ethnic music. Even not knowing or understanding a word she's saying, you have to dance when her music starts! For this I'm PROUDLY SOUTH AFRICAN!!!!!

[mzimkhulunyeka]

This really cracks me up! Brenda was born and grew up in Langa Township in Cape Town. I was in boarding school with one of her brothers Makhwenkwe Fassie! I later was in exile with Kenny Fassie, a younger brother but older than Brenda. She was not half Zimbabwean. That's a blatant lie and fabrication. Both her parents were South Afrikan! Damn lairs! Maybe we should also stop saying South Afrikan music is Southern Afrikan music. Southern Afrika is a region.

[msayofemi1]

@mzimkhulunyeka lol youve been copying and pasting that comment on every sing video :P

[mangtse]

@simbakafiri - kick mugabe out! are you out of your mind? ...... where do you come from? America or Britain...

[tololei]

i wanna be the next african queen like brenda but ooopsss i dont have such a strong voice.i wish some things were inherited or acquired

[platoch3]

AFRICAN MUSIC MAKES ME LOVE MYSELF MORE AND MORE ....

OH AFRICA MY LOVIN CONTINET.....

wewe mama ,wewe baba wewe..

[Bandaga1]

I feel a chill rise through me , even as I sit listening to this song so late into the night. She never stopped amazing me with her energy nad friendliness. Will be forever missed.

[primezz1]

has she ever sang a full song in swahili/kiswahili?

[cuttiesx]

@primezz1 she sand nakupenda mostly in Kiswahili.

[mdmbocha]

listening to this song brings african spirit to amerika...hakuna matata

[mdmbocha]

listening to this song brings african spirit to america...hakuna matata

[mdmbocha]

listening to this song brings african spirit to america

[TheDevy53]

[ngomaneh77]

Sorry guys Brenda had relations in Zimbabwe in MaGWEWE EMALOKISHINI KWA BULAWAYO SO !!!!!!!!!!!

[09lillyme]

Wewe oh, hakuna matata (No worries)

[liverpoolsfinest101]

@09lillyme nope she has sung another song in Swahili, she is also fluent in Swahili i even managed to have a short convo with her in swahili when she was in nairobi for her concert. R.I.P A Legend.

[almunjama]

@liverpoolsfinest101 Nathani uliongaea kiswahili sanifu na huyu dada.Hongera Ndugu!!

[liverpoolsfinest101]

@almunjama mimi msanifu mwenzangu.

[nicsab09]

I don't care if she was half Zimbabwean or not, it 's AFRICA. Shut up and enjoy the song.

[prestonbaxter]

@maroza07 NB a lot of these SA artists were more popular in Zim than in SA. I remember atttending Yvonne Machaka and Brenda's shows back in the day. I still have their music. For ZIMBABWEANS they are like locals.

[reynaldista8712]

My god!!!!! Great song!!!! I live in Colombia and I listened this song when I was a child!!!

[maroza07]

[MrFicafixe]

if we love one artiste we must keep is vibes allways on and share it with evry one that way it wont be a wast artiste but a talent who contributs to hower musical repertoire much love brenda allways in my heart R.P.I.

[RockNiga]

people she died of aids, but the drugs she had done earlier contributed to speeding up the process.

[iRepEast]

reminds me of janis joplin

[TheNoxCz]

Tshisa bathathe Mbreeeee!

[igurube]

Another wasted rare talent.

[afoksontube]

Brenda was a great South African artist, though he ruined her life with narcotics. May her soul rest in peace. Amen

[bigfredo78]

i don´t understand the meaning of this song but i really like it

[Anathi1]

Jus means "No problems" and keeps on nicely repeating the same thing in different South African Languages!

[maswabe]

Not only south African languages but even Swahili which is Africa's most widely spoken language. Hakuna matata means no problems and wewe means you. Swahili is spoken in Tanzania, Kenya, DRCongo, Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Comoro, Reunion, Somalia among others.

[ithandi2002]

oh I meant the dead

[ithandi2002]

What gud does it do for you to talk bad about the end ..come on now really though ....God bless your soul

[bexilford2]

She died of drug overdose which put her in a comma until they switched her machine years later when she did not recover

[walecoolio]

@bexilford2 please enjoy her beautiful , rich music and stop being vulindlhela mamgobozi, Mabrree never had any matata with anybody. God bless her soul.

[moneymoney81]

Do U think every1 in Aafrica got aids or what....

[Dathini1]

That's rubbish you are saying all over the world some people have AIDS not everyone....do you belive that stupid.

[afoksontube]

Who stuffed your ears with such crap. Mind what you say, before you get yourself into trouble. Ok?

[arakammanaokorobia]

Can someone tell me what this song means, please? I've been looking all over for it!

[simbakali75]

[omowahala]

Long live Brenda fassie Music... May her soul rest in perfect peace... I love you!

[GLADYSKENTE]

[omowahala]

[talcinda]

[teeggarscott]

dude no to Drug, yes to "weeed" !!, Right ?

[trulyfair1]

[SIKONGE]

Pantsuladude, here Brenda proved that she is from Africa by singing in different African language. Here she mix with Swahili by singing HAKUNA MATATA and translate in English "Hakuna ma-PROBLEM" and that means NO PROBLEM(s). Check also a song in Lingala with Papa Wemba called Ngiyakuthanda.

[tinatenmillion]

Your are luck you had the opportunity to go I bet you couldn't see through the crowd?
