I think I shall learn Maltese when I retire, and take up Gђana singing myself. It's such a gutsy sound, it makes the soles of my feet tingle. Well done, people. Keep it up.
I've never been to Malta, but it looks so beautiful!! full of culture and fun. It would be great to bring some of the culture back to Australia, bc whenever people ask me like, "so what do you maltese people do and celebrate" i sit there like "whaaattt?"
I love Maltese music and culture, many people does, but it is so tipical that Maltese themselves don't apreciate it! A kind of complex which iritates me.
People of Malta! Your culture and history is older and richer than English or Italian so stop to be ashamed! Be as you are, be proud and keep your Faith, aspecially now, when all of Europe goes to...
yea maltese they have a complex about their language, history, culture..they are shy and not proud of their arabic background. I'm tunisian and i understand 80 % of the maltese dialect which is very similar to the tunisian arabic accent. God bless our brothers in malta
I can not agree. Maltese is a semitic language just like Arameic, Oldhebrew, Hebrew or Phoenician. Arabic influence is minimal, even when you listen to the music. Some similarities there? NOT AT ALL! Even Spanish music can have some arabic elements because of the Arabic occupation, but Malta? Radiculous with all respect for the Arabian culture - Malta is in another club since the 1st Century! God bless North Africa, but don't mix Maltese culture with Arabian just because of language!
I can't actually translate it, but it is an extemporary form of competion. Each singer has to make a verse praising Malta (Valleta in particular) and the next has to compose a response, then a response to that response and so on. The competition is lost when you can't make up a reply. There do also seem to be a number of standard verses you can use but I'm not quite sure how these fit in - maybe you have three chances, or something like that.
Thanks for your reply, but I already knew about the structure from reading about it on Wikipedia, which is why I was interested to know what they were saying! : )
Ghana isn't the prettiest music on Earth, but its charm is in its gutsy authenticity. Fascinating roots sounds from a very attractive country whose people are known for their valor.
Hey I am Maltese, with an Arabic originating surname and am proud of my Arabic background.

Gotta Love traditional Maltese Folk,
Sadley nothing comes close to it.
what is also sad is that it does not recieve the appreciation it deserves. it takes skill and guts to sing like the Maltese.

I must agree that it is out of tune and weird, but I see that as it's appeal.
I dunno, maybe I'm weird. :D
