[WarehouseRepublic]

@HeavyDuty1134 You are a disgrace to mankind. This music s beautiful and you're just a backwards fucking hick. Racism is dead mate. Because your life is shit you don't need to look for others to blame for your bitterness. I'm white, I'm poor but you'd have to be a complete moron to be racist in the modern world. Your views are backwards and time has run out for you. You're a dinosaur. An un-important relic of a backwards age. Jog on.

[HeavyDuty1134]

@WarehouseRepublic yeah but they are still niggers...

[StompingRabbits]

@HeavyDuty1134 - They are not just 'Niggers!" BlackFagSmith ROCKS!

@HeavyDuty1134 good one, dumb ass. got anymore clever putdowns? dipsh*t. you have the IQ of a toad, you ass backwards, redneck hillbilly.

[Jenshenanigan]

Okay, yes yes, the line from Mean Girls was funny, but can anyone please point out the wonderful harmony and beautiful sound of their music? This is really calling me home to Africa. Seriously, I could wake up to this every morning. Ahhhh... and not just because of the rooster sound. Moves my soul.

:D

[carmenimperial]

@Jenshenanigan this was so well written i thought i wrote it

[T74G]

@Jenshenanigan

its amazing!!! a bass section, a baritone section, a tenor, an alto, and counter tenor....

the alto and counter tenor usually sing lead with Joseph, with the other sections repeating the melody , and using the "call and response" technique, they create a sound that will absolutely BEAM directly into your soul, and move u to inspiration!!!

[mike301575]

OMFG SO THIS IS WHAT THEY WERE REFERRING TO IN MEAN GIRLS LMFAO

" But you Love Lady Blacksmith Mombazo!"

[MyRealityBytes]

I've been listening to Ladysmith Black Mambazo for over 20 years. I love these guys - amazing voices.

[579093]

[Wholoveschickens]

[vanguard435]

The Black Mambaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaa

[TheSkylur44]

Absolutely beautiful; and thank God there are more evolved discerning people here who appreciate the skill and beauty of their voices (and a capella!) than Neanderthals who are anencephalics and will suffer from that all their lives.

[RockyBalboa211]

They are awesome! :D

[S3ANMOORE]

Oh so this isn't a black porno............awkward......­.....Time to be hitting the old dusty trail.........oh yeah,they should change that name.It's a little confusing I brought lotion and everything.

[teXasDolly05]

@NickLotay its a shame people have time too waste and write backhanded comments about writing comments lmfao

[Boobalopbop]

@NickLotay Its not my cup of tea, but its pretty if you're into that sort of thing. These ignorant comments really are ridiculous though.

[destined2bebossy]

@CreamTheRabbitFan12 Ikr!

[Jeepacreepah01]

LSBM is ABSOLUTE best group of guys out there... too bad they don't have 10000's of teens screaming ..oh wait nope ...this is going to be the much calmer parents who are crazy for them....which is awesome because you get to enjoy them and hear them

[bandwagonretards]

one of the few good things to come out of africa, if anything

[thafuture1989]

@bandwagonretards plenty of good things come out of africa pointless bastard

[GSin0304]

Love the way they say "youtube"

[nylawyer55]

Lady Shit Black Bizzarro

[WorldWatcher9]

started listening to this soothing music while in college 20 yrs ago im still an avid fan

and for the record they where doing incredible music long before paul simon review the albums Shaka Zulu , Journey of Dreams or google thier music on youtube. their voices lead me on a journey to appreciate all the treasures of my heritage that would eventually end with my feet on african soil and deep value of my culture. this what it sounds like when africa sings

[TheBlueMadonna]

Im trying to get inspired for a Black History month play that I need to write a poem for in about two hours. I clicked on this video without thinking, and them BAM! I feel like I can do it now, thanks to this wonderful group and their beautiful music.

[gntshali]

This was mostly my parents' music, but I got the tail-end and loved it too! Still do. Its beautiful, its ours, makes me miss Africa, my home, even more, I'm about to change my summer plans just from hearing this. Most importantly, I love the fact that I still have a strong culture to fall back on, and this is part of it. LSBM, you're one of our jewels.

[ericandrewesq]

I actually hava a vinyl LP from around the time they backed Paul SImon. Really enjoy it. 

[MiSsJdAtSeXcBiTcH]

Amazing

[RoseyOuttaControl]

beautiful!

[szabi01]

countdown2012.co.nr

Hatalmas :DDDD

[hometoheroes]

You know, it's ridiculous that a video about something as unifying as music turns into thread after thread of hate-filled rhetoric. From a language I've never realized to be so musical, this sounds fantastic.

[tanio12]

@hometoheroes

yeah but ladyblacksmith ain't worried about no bitch ass on the internet spouting nonsense, they roll on an international level something a troll would not understand,

[lambchop641]

@FoulOwl: It's not a threat, it's an educated guess. Because it wasn't an insult, it was a diagnosis. BlackPeopleMoneys stated that he believes the men in this video are not human. The only way one could make such a statement would be if one was insane. And I truly do feel compassion for the insane, because their lifespans and evolutionary outlook do not match the rest of their species. And that is not a testimony, it is a fact.

[pikkstup]

Did anyone notice the lady eating in the bottom left corner?

[WhatTheMaynard]

I love Ladysmith Black Mambazo! Had one of the best tracks on Paul Simon's "Graceland"!!

[kr9295]

this music is so calming. Now I know why Cady Heron loved them.

[marym2011]

But you love Ladysmith Black Mombazo!

[DubGongTuff]

@marym2011 Mean Girls!!!! thought of the samething!!!

[peteluver17]

@marym2011

but she's my friend and i made her a promise !

[FoulOwl]

Pretty cool.Cant say that Id wanna put the top down and cruise the strip while jammin to it.But still,pretty cool.

[dallastx5]

Love this group and have for decades

[Tekknight007]

Mean Girls? What about the Venture Bros, reference?

[wordjunkiee]

I love all the Mean Girl references.

"But you love Ladysmith Black Mambazo!"

[2ne1blackjack27]

60% of comments are mean girls related.lol

[pinkponies177]

@MsMusicGeek101 Oh wow... Caty Heron is from Mean Girls. It's a movie starring Lindsay Lohan, and in the movie her mom's like, "But you love Ladysmith Black Mambazo!"

[robert2426]

that is great  song

[Reubenhubert]

Several years ago my (now grown) daughters were watching a Sesame Street video in which Ladysmith Black Mombazo performed. At the end of the video everybody in the video sang "Sing a Song". I thought it was beautiful how Ladysmith Black Mombazo started the "Lala la lala"s in their fashion. I looked for that video of the song, but I never have been able to find it on You Tube.

[Steadno]

@BlackPeopleMonkeys die racist saqaliba

[lambchop641]

@BlackPeopleMonkeys: You know, lack of compassion, identification and the ability to recognize ones own species are all signs of sociopathy. Sociopathy is like Ebola in that it kills its host and therefore utterly destroys the environment that supports it, making it evolutionarily retarded. You and your retarded progeny aren't going to be here long, but you have my compassion.

[FoulOwl]

@lambchop641 In that remark,you're no better than he.You talk of "compassion" but hurl remarks like "retarded progeny" and "arent going to be here long".Which BTW the latter could be construed as a threat.Now,I agree his remarks are abhorrant, but the minute you stoop to insults, you reduce yourself to his level.You destroy your own witness.Your testimony then becomes a device of your own undoing......food for thought.

[UnperfectStorm16]

Damn Africa, what happened?

[lambchop641]

@doit420sdf: That's why I said *I* don't want. This is my opinion. In their earlier vids they did not wear matching anything and they did not do this kind of choreography. I liked it better and I feel that matching stuff and marchy choreography is a bid to be less "foreign", which is not necessary. In a wider market these artists can afford to be themselves.

[NickLotay]

@lambchop641: I don't know where you got your information from. LBM has been performing in matching attire and dancing in the style you see in this video for nigh on 50 years. Even well before they were exposed to the world. In fact, the notion of wearing matching outfits and performing "marchy" (as you put it...) choreography began when they were nothing but a small-time group wowing the hostels and community halls of South Africa in the late 1960s and early 1970s. Believe it or not...

[lambchop641]

@johnnyrayborn:I'm not an idiot. I'm just saying what I think. Why would you be so hostile? If I have to do "homework" to enjoy this music then the true impact is lost. People don't spend money on music based on what cultures they've studied in college. It's beautiful whether you call me an idiot or not.

[doit420sdf]

@lambchop641 - I see both of your points, however, can I suggest that you were hostile first (to whites?) Consider that LSBM maybe want and enjoy to perform this way, and its not some kind of cultural suppression.. Without any real analysis you did make quite a leap.

All questions of etiquette aside, a great song by a great band. Bravo, LSBM.

[hmngbrd]

I like they're voices.

[lambchop641]

@johnnyrayborn:I'm not an idiot. I'm just saying what I think. Why would you be so hostile?

[ebonics4everyone]

Remember back in 1988 when these cats did the Rolaids commercials?

[Tekknight007]

@ebonics4everyone Thought it was Lifesavers?

[lambchop641]

I don't want you guys to be lined up like that doing motown choreography. I wish you would wear what you want and sit down, or do what you want. Your voices are so beautiful, white people don't need to see something they've seen before to love you.

[johnnyrayborn]

@lambchop641 idiot it's an african march not motown choreography. Do your homework before you open your mouth.

[lambchop641]

I love you. J'etaime. Ich Leibe Dich.

[chucktone11]

thumbs up for mean girls

[teXasDolly05]

This music is wonderful and soothing, whether you know what they are saying or not. I have seen them in person twice, and hope I live to see them again. Thank-you Ladysmith Black Mambazo...you have opened my heart and mind with your beautiful music...please excuse the ignorant or irrelevant posts here, myself and others appreciate you very much.

[blmooneyham]
