Bongo muffin-the way kungakona - www.zimvibes.com

[toryor]

Years ago, I used to listen to this on TV in Nigeria and I have been looking for it. I just found out its specifically from Zimbabwe, but to me, Zimbabwe, Botswana, South Africa ...are all Southern Africa and I really really really wish I can be from all parts of Africa, cos u cannot just settle with just one part. Africa me born, Africa me live and live -Yor-

[piecha23]

@toryor i believe the group is made of zimbabwean and southafrican. hence they sing in different languages.so u were right to say southern africa

[toryor]

@piecha23 Thx. Good to know. Nicely used versatility is a virtue.

[sevhany]

@blackwolverine101 if yu du find it pliz can yu tell mi also coz i luv that song



[SuperDarkl0rd]

the way kungakona

[TheroMakepe]

This was my song. I was 5 years old when I first heard this. It was music to my little African ears.

[9kaceli]

this song was among my favo back den...tnx zimvibes for uploading it!! btw can anyone tell me wat de song is abt, pliz???

[lilipad777]

@9kaceli In general this song is about change. Too much change that has corrupted us as a people, our culture and our roots, and on the flip side change that is needed to get us back to said roots before we get so fed up with it all we take our future into our own hands and start afresh.

If you are looking for a literal translation let me know, I speak all three languages fluently.

[9kaceli]

@lilipad777 thanks a lot...dont worry about the literal translation ;)

[MyObjective]

@lilipad777 wow u are so kl, wat three languages do u speak >?

[CocoaBird85]

@lilipad777 Can you translate this song?

[SuperQwanell]

kwaito at its best viva kalawa for making a good music

[carimi1able]

No No people where do such kind of people who posses such kind of powerful soulful earthshaking talent come from...................and then again where do they go cause right now the music we being fed is nothing and will never be anything like the CLASSICS Bongo Maffin created.....

[mayne212]

[paddlesful]

What the girl is saying is that: I am leaving you because of the way you've been treating me all along. Mangwane means aunty. The way kungakona means the way things are!!

[skiman107]

[naturalnchic]

[micheala8cpt2]

loving this track so much guys....

[Mattiecomeback9]

tEastsideEddy !the chorus sung by the lady means" the way things are now, my head tells me to just take my things and get up and leave. and then again it tells me to wait for my newborn baby to grow up a little more. then after that i'll just shoot off and go. "

Because its in more than one language i can't tell what th e rest are saying but basically it seems she's in a tight spot and fed up.

[EastsideEddy]

Bongo Maffin, yeah!

If anyone who understands a word ( I read they sing 5 languages) would have the grace to let me know what the song is about I would sincerely appreciate it.

Thanks

Eddy (Whiteboy!)

[0626jmlm]

the end of the the chorus sang by Thandiswa, she is basically jst saying; aunt, please open for me, the way things are (mangwane ako mpulele, they way ungakhona!).

Stone's spart is saying i don't understand as he is speaking the Tswana which is spoken in Lesotho and the guy in the beginning is singing in "Shona!" from Zim.

[SuperNdlovukazi]

Tswana is not spoken in Lesotho, is spoken in Botwana, get your facts right!

[naturalnchic]

you are right but they are very similar... sesotho and setswana

[lena6292]

@EastsideEddy the first part says' wen we get there they will speak about us...!!!!" its shona language from zim dont understnd the rest coz itmust be south african languages there.....:)

[koodmassive24]
