I watched them live in concert in 2008 in Nairobi Kenya during the SawaSawa Festival, still very energetic...they attribute it to living a prayerful life, eating well, not drinking and smoking..trully phenomenal
I used to hum to this song as a little girl and I sometimes I would think that they sing "gazelle". . . . . lol. . I later learnt (as a big girl now) that the song is called "kazet". I love this music so much. I grew up listening to so much South African music here in Kenya. Brings back good ol' memories of when life was good; men were men, women were women, children were children, love was love, family was family, Cheers!!
@Sposata100 WOW, I used to think the same exact thing (that they were saying "gazelle". My parents would send me to Canada every Summer as a little girl and I can remember being 7 years old sitting behind my aunt's car eating a popsicle listening to this song on her tape deck. It brings back good memories of my childhood. :)
OMG! I came here looking for this song (like so many other favorite african songs from salif keita, brenda fassie, chaka chaka etc) without actually knowing the title! Nigerian here....I remember seeing this video back in '90 in Bamako, Mali. I can never forget this song!
Dedicated to my South-African colleague Francis who suffered from a stroke. You were and still are a wonderful person. And Thanks to Lizzy Mercier Descloux
South African culture got noticed through this song ant the movie Shaka zulu. my best south african song.reminds me of childhood in my country, hip hip hip hip oyèèèèès
Thank you for posting this video. Fantastic sound and memory of SA. I first heard this on Radio 5. Alex J had a slot that he called the 'esoteric corner'. Beautiful!!!
l'Afrique est est putain de beau continent; n'en déplaise aux mauvaises langues. on n'a pas besoin de rentrer dans l'histoire du blanc. nous on n'a pas fabriqué de machine à tuer et on s'en fou.
