[cresta45]

this is a message of a people with strength in mind and soul.the dance could be township jive or tsaba tsaba. all in all ,no rythm like this,just super.

[cresidue]

I just love this song!

[RhiannonD101]

Saw the guys doing a show on the weekend. Truly great. There is nothing in the world that compares to the music of South Africa. The blend of these essentially eurocentric instruments and the vibe of African sounds are truly magic. Can't wait for a chance to get the guys to do a gig for me. what a party that would be !!!

[mukuhiDM]

[SIrDepac]

Such a beautifull tune.

[FinalFallenFantasy]

I love the Soweto String Quartet - I heard them play at WOMAD in 2001 and have loved them ever since. Their music always brings a smile to my face and a happy tear to my eye for the memories and the jollity of the music itself, especially this song.

[ziarani]

i love this group and its compositions.Definately they can! Hooray

[AnotherSceptic]

a white south African in Sweden... O I love my country...So sad we have Zumas and Malemas and people that try to "serve" SA for their own gain. I'm going back in 3 weeks. Videos like these and my black friends back home is proof that SA has a future. All blacks are not incompentent and all Whites are not racist. Let's make SA what the "original" freedom charter stand for.

[truthslap]

@AnotherSceptic I'm not South African so I don't know the situation as well as you, but I find it strange that you should only mention Zuma and Malema, both members of the ANC. from all that I've read, the Boers and apartheid laws had MUCH more to do with repressing South Africa than the ANC who are simply fighting for their indigenous land and civil rights.

[shishinaholdings]

Hot Hot Hot. Great south africans doing it!

[mzzynoa]

Kia ora from NZ...thanks for the post..I have the Zebra crossing album..it's awesome, have had it for years...I play their CD in my class and at first the kids moaned...but now they love it as much as me...hahaha

[Samsonitedoors]

Love this video. Does the dance have a name.

[AfricanStreet]

Yes, it is the Pata Pata, made famous by Miriam Makeba´s song Pata Pata. A dance from South Africa.
