Culture ivolves. How about guitors and keyboards, is that an African culture? Gompeino go aparwa jeremane (as in cloth from Germany) mo midirong ya setswana ka bontsi, this is part of ivolution of culture. Letjedza Bakalanga - no one wants to go back to the stone age. How can u claim to correct other pples' culture by showing ur own rotten culture of looking down upon them? Is that also African? You want hides and skins are from endangered spicies! just stop the cattle post mentality.
I have been checking out the music of various African cultures, from the Horn south, and see that as you move south, the musical instruments are simpler (more primative, if you must) but what the performers do with their voices becomes more sophisticated. I guess lack of material resources does little to lessen a people's creativity. I like the northern musical genres for their instrumental prowess, but nothing beats the harmony in southern vocals.
ndo shaka delelele koka..this songs used to be performed in an amazing ritual prayer for rain(GUMBU)..this dance has shown to be spiritual because dances undergo a tranlation in a realm..truly as we return home after the dance, 9 out of 10 times it rained and it poured! amazing stuff...
thats right its kalanga in zim ,this language its part ndebele and shona and in botswana its plus tswana you understand those border laungages you are right africans are africans languages interlink
Exactly, funny u should mention that, I AM a Kalanga but I dont speak a word coz no-one in my immediate family grew up around it, but my MOM understands all 3 languages that comprise it (u forgot sotho as the 3rd language) so she gets them better than I do!
you can learn from your mummy its so amaizing how these laguages interlink ,not only on border linkages but even as futher as Burundi they speak as shonas in Zim the same name for water ,play and many but with a different dilect so its realy amaizing
I love botswana...I'm kenyan in States and we used to hang around with SWANAs in the States...they love fun and very beautiful...One day i'll visit Botswana.
