Bongo Maffin is the new face of African music. I heard this song in the movie White Wedding and can’t get enough. It makes me want to get up and dance. Actually, the whole movie does. whiteweddingmovie. com

[FrancesBirkenbach]

Oh my word... Live and let live people. This song does not deserve grud like this posted as comments...

[soosrtygirl]

take the bottle put it on a higher place and then put on your specks and then u will taste the sweet taste of the beer.

that is what the song is basically saying

[Swatantra100]

Translation, anyone?

[theGrahammm]

@Swatantra100 I'm from Zimbabwe, so we speak isiNdebele which is close to isiZulu which this song is probably written in. Anyway, "thatha" means to take/ get, and "isigubu" means a drum e.g. like a 20 litre paint drum. So the song means "fetch your drum". I hope you enjoy it mngane

[FiaBallProduction]

great

[flybo100]

wawungakanani, bafethu this track still rocks,juss 1 of those tunes that'll neva outdate,if u really appreciate musiq u'll definitely noe wat i'm tokin bout...

[jayclickz]

u guyz are wack america is been run by us africans fuckin white pigz can;t do shyt

[erroneousapostrophe]

@jayclickz We invented the modern world, you dopey deluded cunt. You are using White mans' inventions- computer-Internet-World Wide Web-modern electronics etc etc etc. Dumb monkeyman.

[meccaturbo]

@jayclickz, what's up you fucking nigger boy? You faggot ass motherfucker, got your dick shoved up your ass like a true retard. If you actually were a decent person, you'd go down to the emergency room and have them extract your fleshpipe from your bunghole.

[jayclickz]

ok you ridiculous dumb white pigz shld stop replying us fellow royal black kingz who finally took over what waz us the white house dahhhh,i can understand ya anger and all the swearing but u can't change a thing us blackz are on top of fithy pig commentz u pigz need to grow up

[meccaturbo]

@jayclickz, what's up you lazy fucking no good nigger....the only thing you lazy niggers are good for is stealing things, smoking crack, and eating watermelons. Nigger boy, Obama has nothing to do with "taking over" the white house....why do you think it's still called the white house? Because it's a house we prefer to keep lazy no good niggers out of. Go back to the hood and live in your crack youse, you dumb dirty nigger.

[meccaturbo]

@jayclickz, you fucking niggers ain't on top of shit....just look at Africa, with the exception of SA, Egypt, and Morocco, the whole continent of Africa is a bunch of useless no good niggers, who can't determine the difference between their thumb and their asshole.

[jayclickz]

@meccaturbo dude u need a shower u stink gotohell u have nomoney i donnno wat u doin on this african music cli[p u guyz have no motherland coz u are used to occupying otherpples stuff and claiming itz yours there no room for ya whitepigz onearth [probably belong in space with ya weird skin which is unnatural ya face is probably turning red reading this ,fkcing alien , lol

[meccaturbo]

@jayclickz , actually you need a shower, because you're a dirty smelly nigger....you fucking low intelligence african chimp. go eat your watermelon and popeye's fried nigger chicken, you fucking dark skinned hood rat.

[Dabrasz]

@meccaturbo I bet you couldn't say that to ANY black man in the face when you are all by yourself.

[meccaturbo]

@Dabrasz sure I could. they call us honkeys to our face, so we call them niggers to their face. no fuck off, you faggot.

[Dabrasz]

@meccaturbo Seeing how mature you are, I can just picture your future...and even for someone I'm not quite agreeable with, I just feel sorry for you. You are really pathetic. Don't bother replying cos I'm wasting no more time on your sorry self. I'd pray for you though

[meccaturbo]

@Dabrasz, you're nothing more than a petulant narrow minded fool. Now bend over so the EMT's can get that dildo out of your ass....you really shouldn't be playing with your anal orifice like that, you might seriously injure yourself. Retard.

[Tyra14ification]

@meccaturbo dnt u ave anythn beta to do u racist , low life freak... i hope god sends u to an early grave..AMEN

[meccaturbo]

@Tyra14ification You fucking chimp, go eat a watermelon!

[meccaturbo]

@jayclickz the only motherland you jigaboo fucks have is southeast DC and the east side of Harlem....both otherwise known as Niggerville....

[erroneousapostrophe]

@jayclickz You are too stupid to be worthy of further replies. Come back when you realise the nigger's place in Mankind's progress- ie as a beast of burden harvesting crops and nothing more.

[erroneousapostrophe]

We don't eat Bantu Pygmies in the US. No one is starving or worships Zombies in the US. Throw dem bones read dem. You spear-chucking loin cloth wearing jungle bunny.

[TUMZA9]

meccaturbo, whoever u are God will remember u. if ur nt grown up enough to make decent comments then you should consider nt saying none at all. i live in the usa. im from SA. iv seen worse shit here to b honest. but as i sed. God will remember you. see who gets the last laugh then. SA is the place to b. God Bless Africa.

[erroneousapostrophe]

Your god has forsaken most of Africa, you Bantu pygmy eating cunt.

[TUMZA9]

God Bless you. ill take your words as strong encouragement.

[TUMZA9]

oh and its a pity im too young truthfully claim that i was part of an apartheid monster. ur words are clearly outdated. y do u carry so much hate. God may have forsaken part of Africa, true. wat has africa done to you. i do not see y u judge wat u dont kno. dont evena wana know wher ur from. coz it doesnt concern me or any1 here. I glad ur still alive tho. as the man sed. ud be killed for your words.

[meccaturbo]

I'll speak freely as I please, you retarded loser. You, sir, should consider not making silly commentary toward other posters whom you happen to dislike. Save your effort, and spend it on more useful things like hunting pygmys. Africa smells like my rear end.

[TUMZA9]

then hell is the place for u bruv, enjoy. hahaha u ignorant bastard!!. of and go fuck ur mother lol, fuked up cunt. is that wat u wana hear u tiny piece of elephant shit. go to the nearest pole and shove it down ur racist butt u dick

[meccaturbo]

@TUMZA9, the only ignorant one is you, you cheap motherfucker. get your dick out of your ass, you loser....because clearly it's making you very excitable. And while you're at it, get back to that shithole otherwise known as South Africa.

[TUMZA9]

i long 4 it bro. cheap, haha its good u dont kno me, lets not talk bout money coz im on topa the world wen it comes to that bitch. peace homo. ur a waste if time u herpes reaking gay fuk. get a hobby nigga l8a hahah

[TUMZA9]

oh and taking a piss outa u is way fun. ur words dont scratch any of us. they real funny hahah l8er FAG. go fuk ur mother while ur at it

[erroneousapostrophe]

Why do you nignogs produce more children than you can feed? The White man is feeding you niggers worldwide. Most of the nigs in America are on foodstamps.

[meccaturbo]

I understand that the South African government has free mental therapy programs for retards such as yourself. If I were you, I'd get right on that. I don't think Nelson Mandela or Thabo Mbeki would like knowing what a retarded loser you've turned into.

[meccaturbo]

I am not your brother, you retarded loser. My, aren't you being a little judgmental? I though you were a religious man, going to those pscyho South African rituals for nutjobs like yourself.

[jayclickz]

mecca u stink u admit t at least teach ya fellow rascist pigz to own up like u also litz a waste of time talking to you you too poor u still have the white man era where you guyz used to live in caves and rub two stones to light up a fire ,africanz are betta than all races thatz why ya ancestors came and robbed them of their wealth and made some of them slaves and injected aidz and brought fake god'z but real africans we smarter like obama also of africa

[meccaturbo]

@jayclickz, obama and you are both a bunch of FUCKING USELESS NIGGERS.

[meccaturbo]

@jayclickz, what's up nigger boy? you niggaz are a bunch of thieves and no good crack addicts. fuck all of you, go eat a fucking watermelon, you fucking faggot retard.

[meccaturbo]

@jayclickz, the only thing you niggaz are good at running from is the cops. dirty fucking low life niggers, no fucking good.

[meccaturbo]

@jayclickz, sup you lazy niggers? funny you talk about education, you can't spell properly which shows me you are a stupid jigaboo who lives in the hood with all the other dirty niggaz. U talk about whites rubbing stones to light up a fire, the only thing you niggers know how to light up is a crack pipe. Fucking niggas.

[JohnHole2]

Hello TheMrTlizzle, my name is Coby Cornhole. If you were in my country, you would be skewered on a stick for talking in your unintellgent gibberish. Aren't we all supposed to be talking like adults here?

[erroneousapostrophe]

Cribble, you fuckwad, I've just made a box of 158grain reloads just for your wool covered potato head. I'd love to turn your potato head into red mist leaving behind the tattered stump of your neck vertebrae.

[meccaturbo]

Drizzle, you are a fucking chimp....you should be kicked in the head.

[Imnotadiva]

Why are you guys even responding to the stupid comments. By acknowledging them you validate them, Ignore and enjoy the beautiful music from our beautiful country South Africa! x

[meccaturbo]

Hey Mr Dibble, you are cum drinking cocksucking piece of LMFAO anal bumhole racial immigrant ROFL LMFAOOOOOO proberbly motherfucker dildo live in mommy's basement chilly ring dumbfuck loves the gay porn chatline ROFL LMFAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

[meccaturbo]

When I watch the nature channel, I see you fucking apes like to sniff each other's butts. You are not very highly developed you fucking ROFL monkey shit ape immigrant motherfucker cocksucker ROFL ROFL ROFL ROFL

[meccaturbo]

Hey Drizzle fucktard...the only fucking refugee is you. You and your "darky" South African parents are related to apes and monkeys. Does the ghetto in Basingstoke remind you of shithole shantytown where you lived in SA, where the open sewers overflowed into your shitshack and you apes ate fruit from the trees by day and robbed people by night? You should be kicked in the face, you darky retard who has an ultra affinity for the bum.

[erroneousapostrophe]

"lmfaoooo ur still still searching youtube for comments i left"

Nearly everyone of your posts is a hate-filled tirade towards one race or another. You are a sad, ungrateful dog-of-no-nation living a life made possible by your Anglo-Saxon superiors. Be thankful that rabid dogs don't roam the streets and that you are safe in a beautiful country with the potential of a fulfilling and successful life.

[erroneousapostrophe]

"cause i know ur english proberbly isnt that good"

Let me just taste the sweet irony of that statement. . . Anyway, I am a permenant resident of the United States and still a British citizen. You are the retarded offspring of a pair of Banana boat economic refugees from a Township slum in Africa.

[erroneousapostrophe]

Once again, I live in East Tennessee. I find it difficult to believe that you would fly nearly 5000 miles just to have seven shades of shit kicked out of you and then to be shot through your potato head with my12 gauge.

[erroneousapostrophe]

My English is impeccable compared to yours. Your posts are full of grammatical errors and spelling mistakes. You suffer from homophone confusion and you have a poorly developed vocabulary. In short, I can out-think you and out-fight you. You are a cowardly dullard.

[erroneousapostrophe]

Shut your fucking mouth, TheMrTlizzle you little racist fucktard.

[uniquerhymes]
