The ruined it singing it in English. Where are the clicks? Where are the Uuuurrrpps? I had to make up my own African Gibberish just to do it justice. Also, Did Paul Simon and Ladysmith lack Mambazo ever do it? That would have been the VERY FIRST SONG I woulda done (as a warm-up). That and the WaTusi (damn it, its Constanople, WaTutsi and BaHutu--Tutsies is what I get done when I have a Pedacure!!
I heard this on the Bensons For Beds advert and I've spent literally hours looking for it. I have been through every version on Youtube and completely overlooked this after hearing the intro. Second time around I listened through and what can I say? Simply beautiful.
acr08807 You have strong opinions, and you're not afraind to express them. In the case on me, and your comment about my book, I take it you have arrived at your opinion AFTER reading the book?
The Soweto Gospel choir ones good too, well if you liked this one anyway, if you're one of the crazy dislikers then I guess you won't. But if you're one of the dislikers I have to ask - what do you like?
Great video. We always go to see L.B.Mambazo when they come to Cornwall. Lovers of Africa appreciate them. I grew up in Tanganyika, later Tanzania. My book, 'Speak Swahili, Dammit!' is doing well on Amazon, & as an Apple iBook & Kindle eBook. Short video on youtube, with original footage in the bush 1950's & 60's, under Speak Swahili, Dammit!
@rdokoye Africa will never be peaceful as long as they have resources to be desired by the more advanced civilizations of the world (east or west). Until the African elevates himself/herself to the height necessary to be competitive with the tech of the rest of the world they will remain under another's thumb. I wish them the best, but they lack good leadership.
Just appreciate their voices and talent. Stop regurgitating political crap you've been spoon fed by either side of the political fight. I'm sure theres room on a CNN or Fox Television channel for that. Just appreciate these fine people for what they are doing.
why are there so many hateful comments here? Can you not feel their love for all things in their voices? in their souls? FEEL IT in YOU - give that peace and love to others who surround you - the whole world might be a bit nicer place. Close your eyes and FEEL them.
@3RK9Obedience. Your words are like their voices, appreciated by those who can hear the love in them. We are all not blessed in this way. A great friend of mine once told me this and I try to live by it. "Be kind when you can, because not everybody has a love like ours to make them feel the way we do every day of our lives".pity the ones without love. Slan
@tapdancer1 Thank you for the understanding :) I want so badly to go see them in real life. I imagine the feeling is not describable! I will always remember what your great friend has told you and what now you have told me. :)

FAVORITE version LBM does poetic justice! PURE AFRICAN SOUND. im not sure but they sound a lot like they were on the white wedding soundtrack I could be wrong. Regardless that was a great soundtrack u should check out. the dvd came out today so I will put that on my wish list.. whiteweddingmovie. com
who the hell he/she is. 1st he stated he black then i looke at his profile and the idiot is tryin to claim to be part of a race which it dont belong to. now i understand that most white pple are mongrels they ant blue bloodz and confusion is writhe as they ant got a clue who they are where they come from. all i can tel you pple is this b4 writtin to me tryin to teach me my own history or the geo politics of the world know who the hell you are 1st coz i ant got tijme to waste parryin with you.
to all you pple who might not agree with what i wrote. come up with facts which disputes how white pple are usin HAARP to cause unnatural disasters in africa. how the eugenics program is bein used on black pple by infectin them with viruses. how the west start wars in africa to control its resources and how history was tampared with to remove the black man from history. dont write to me nor flood my mail with bushit like this idiot called HAITIPI. this stupid asshole is confused he dont know
What does it matter what colour my skin is? It seems that it is more important to you than truth. You are just the type of useless Amero-nigger that fucked up Africa in the first placde. First, your relatives trapped and sold other Africans to Muslim traders, then to Europeans. Then, your mongrel clan started inbreeding with Arabs and converting to their religion, even though they just wanted to trick you to screw your ugly women and sell the mongrels to Europeans.
Wadza, people can't make you feel inferior . It is you who are feeling it, hold your head up high and love who you are. Don't try to imitate anyone, be yourself. I am a white African and I love the culture and the people, I don't think anyone is beneath me, just different in some ways. Our love of Africa should be our bond. Love and light x
I really feel bad for this WADZA guy. So much bottled up hate. It will kill him. There are obviously some deep seated issues that will not be exposed here, nor should they be. He has a mixed race complex, indicating that he is either ashamed of his own mixed heritage, or more likely, that his ex-wife (or current) has hooked up with a white guy. Or maybe it is his mother? We can only speculate, but if he doesn't loosen up, it will kill him one way or another.
@haitipi bla bla bla asshole get a life. i dont know you nor did i write to you. you seem to be obessed with me. no i ant a guy and nor i ant intrested with a fuckin asshole who ant got a clue who the hell he is. you are so obsessed in tryin to educate me on your so called aspects of african life yet you are so retared that you think im an american when clearly i ant. fuck off to whatever hole your whore of a mother popped you out from. stupid illiterate dumb mother fucker.
OK, I have never been to Rhodesia/Zimbabwe nor do I speak any bantu languages. My experiences tend to be more towards the ECOWAS countries. I speak English as well, but I am not going to try to put you down for not speaking Kreyol Ayisyan. As per my race, I am mixed. As for my mother, leave her out of it. I know you are not Americain , based on your poor English and spelling. You can not capitalize correctly or conjugate properly/. Illiterate? I speak, read and write 8 languages.

@andrewj44 really and what are you, stupid illiterate dumb muther fucker. this obssession which you assholes have regardin my opinions is now borderin on stupidity. like i said pple noone is forcin anyone to read my comments so pliz dont flood my mail box with your crap. just move on and leave me the hell alone.
@pathfinder702 oh pliz you stupid cocksucker, just fuck off to whatever hole you popped out from. i couldnt give a shit what your opinions nor thoughts are regardin my comments. noone had a giant dildo to your anus forcin you to read my comment so just shut the hell up and leave me the hell alone. i am intitled to my opinions you dont have to like them stupid troll.
@wadza122 You have some deep set psycological issues that should be address in an assylum for the criminally insane. I imagine with your attitude to other, that you probably have seen the inside of a cell.
Since your use of the English language so demished, you find that by using the swear words that you do somehow makes you feel like a bigger man - Does it make you feel more powerful using the lack of intelectual syntax. You are obviously a very angry, racist and bitter little man !!!
Hey Wadza I think you are so lucky. You have such a rich culture and you do belong, your connections are so strong your culture is rich your music is so beautiful. Look around and see how much you have. In the bigger scheme of things we are all connected........Be Happy Now!
this song makes me think on how we black pple, as a pple have forgotten who we once were b4 death destruction slavery imperialism came to the mother land. now we are a lost pplw with no sense of understanding what we have lost. all we do now is imitate the white man behaviour.i surely weep 4 the lost souls who are decaying on this planet who feel inferor to other races coz the white told them that and the adults who have failed a genaration.
Remember, slavery was going on in Africa for thousands of years before White men knew Africa existed. Don't let it be an excuse for you to get yourself down. What ever you think is lost has actually been thrown away. Pick it up! It's still there, trust me on this.
@haitipi sorry no offense but where you there during this so called slavery b4 the white man or you are just parrotin what you heard from the white man. coz last time i checked the history books where tampared with removing the black man from history and depicting them as savages and illiterate yet i found out diffirent. i wouldnt trust the information you are bein fed coz in 2010 pple should have a sense of knowin facts from fiction true history and manufactured manipuleted history.
This is what is taught as factual history in ALL universities, where they don't buy White Guilt politically correct garbage textbooks.
I was in Nigeria back in 1992 when I tried to make a comment that I thought me and my fellow guests and hosts would agree on, using a common PC phrase, "when we were stolen from Africa". My Nigerian (all Black African Nigerians) burst out in hysterical laughter asking, "is that what they teach you in the Americas?". More to follow
@haitipiyou knowledgable. what you fail top grasp is that life is an experience everyday you come to understand and learn more thus dont belittle what you can never understand nor have knowledge of. you assume things which you think im tryin to say but you have no idea where im comin from 2 say this. you assume that you are the only one who has travelled and learned things. dont make assumptions ask 1st the reason i wrote what i said not to try and teach me things which i already know.
I was then shown the sites where the Sokoto Caliphate (Muslim Jihadists, the largest holder of Black infidel Slaves in the world, which they are still very proud of) would export slaves to the Americas and other African destination as well as the Middle East. I was shown displays of what the Yorubans did to my hosts Igbo ancestors before they sold them to Arabs, Dutch and Iberian Slavers. In Haiti, there is plenty of evidence.
@haitipi i reitarate if you missed my point. most black have no knowledge of self. we have been severed into small pieces confusion has been sawed thus you still get ignorant black pple who still think the white man knows all yet they are the ones who are causin havoc. its not a blame game no african prez is in charge of their country nor its resources these are facts. so pliz do understand what im sayin b4 tryin to confuse yourself. you assume that becoz you have travelled tht somehow it makes
I have more info, but you get the point. Whether you believe me, or whether you still believe that white folk was catching stupid animal like African in giant mouse traps, is your choice. But please give Africans a little more credit for intelligence than that. Many Africans voluntarily submit themselves to slavery in order to pay off war debts, debts, or some were POWs. Little did they know that they would be shipped off for good, not just a year or two.
@haitipi if you understood what i wrote you wouldnt be confusin yourself by statin things i did not say.i never stated that i believed europeans where enslavin stupid africans so pliz dont get it twisted. history has been tampered with eg.. you hear pple sayin africans sold africans durin slavery yet when we ask show us these documents that a king or chief signed noone produces them. noone talks about the dead african who died fightin to stop slavery. noone talks about the empire blacks had.
Documents? Now you have exposed you ignorance and naivete.
I never presumed anything about your education, race, experience , age. That goes against my nature and profession. I merely explained my life experience and even exposed my ignorance as an idealistic younger man. I have eaten many of my own words and made an ass out of myself many times when I tried patronizing others, finding that they did not need or want their history changed by me to make them feel better .
@haitipi retarded motherfuckers like you. i am the wrong one to start your bullshit with. if im ignorant what is it to you. cant you go to the toilet coz im ignorant. just fuck off mate. now you are warpin on bout pyramids in egypt. there are pyramids in sudan too if your illiterate ass dont know. you are just a pathetic looser with nothin to do. i believe what i want to believe noone had a gun to your ass forcin you to read what i wrote. all you had to do was move on and yes i blame crakkas 4
The problem is that when afrocentric revisionists change history so they can boast of things that never happen, they place themselves in the same position as the ones they uised to condemn.
For example, I used to see many american blacks with T-Shirts claiming that they had something to do with the Egyptian kingdoms of the 3-4 millennium BC. These same idiots would also condemn whites for slavery. They forgot that the Copts were the largest slavers ever
@haitipi hahaha oh god just looked at your profile. look here moron i dont give a fuck nor care less what you think nor do i want a history lesson from you. why you wrote to me in the 1st place no clue. i undertand that you like to stroke your ego to feel important and intelligent on facts which you dont know. you ant even black so instead of tryin to teach me a melanated person go search 4 who the hell you are. i ant got time for assholes who like to look 4 attention from me especially
@haitipi tried to be polite with you but i can see that you have a perchant of tryin to insult me thus if you disrespect me you will be disrespected in return. next time dont respond to shit which ant got nothin to do with you. and dont try to confuse pple by lyin bout your ethnicty. stupid white trash.
You aren't even a real African. All you do is convince Whites and Asians that black people and Africans are as stupid as the old movies show, by the way to write and speak. You can't even write your own language correctly. At least I can read and write English, besides my languages. I can stand up for myself, without having to put others down,. You condemn white people based on their chance race, while on THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEMS and PROGRAMS.
@haitipi you are here warpin on bout computers and all the crap which i ant got a clue. and clearly i can tel from the nonsense you wrote that you grew up poor thus thinkin that tellin me bout your achievments will make you feel important or somethin. mhata yemunhu. duzvi. enda unofa or somethin dont worry bout my english I ant an englishman. MUSATANYOKO. STIUPID HOMOGINIZES BOOTLICKIN ASSHOLE THATS WHAT YOU ARE. STUPID RETARDED SON OF A BITCH.
@haitipi Dr. Mark Dean is a Ph.D. from Stanford University ... He is in the National Hall of Inventors. He has more than 30 patents pending. He is a vice president with IBM. Oh yeah, and he is also the architect of the modern-day personal computer. Dr. Dean holds three of the original nine patents on the computer that all PCs are based upon. And, Dr. Mark Dean is an AFRICAN AMERICAN racist media mainly owned by whites do there best to keep black achievements VERY VERY QUIET!!!
But isn't that like, "In the Jungle, the mighty jungle, the lion sleeps tonight?" Of course, the original Mbube did use those words, but jungles are in Asia, and Lions live in Plains.
Thank you for stating THE TRUETH! Africa was at peace LONG before Europe knew it was there, and would probably STILL be at peace had it not been for European influence.
@Kingonads 'influence' is a very subtle way of putting it. how about enslaving, raping, pillaging, colonizing, robbing, killing and trying to control africa under a cruel violent empire. ¬_¬
@rdokoye yeah problems are congo's somalia, and a few other dictorial areas but other then that gg. the main problem are the radicals and extremists for ideals and religion.
Oh my gosh my mom would play this casette to me when I was little! But the tape wore out and I forgot the name of it no matter how hard I tried! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for putting this up or I never would have found it again!
I used to listen to this cd every night while I went to sleep when I was in elementary school. I got to on stage with them at a concert and dance, it was great.
A musica tema do Rei leão foi uma cópia de uma música folclórica da África cantada no momento da caça de leões. O 'músico' que copio adicionou a letra e disse que a idéia foi totalmente dele.

@wadza122 You have some deep set psycological issues that should be address in an assylum for the criminally insane. I imagine with your attitude to other, that you probably have seen the inside of a cell.
Since your use of the English language so demished, you find that by using the swear words that you do somehow makes you feel like a bigger man - Does it make you feel more powerful using the lack of intelectual syntax. You are obviously a very angry, racist and bitter little man !!!

this song makes me think on how we black pple, as a pple have forgotten who we once were b4 death destruction slavery imperialism came to the mother land. now we are a lost pplw with no sense of understanding what we have lost. all we do now is imitate the white man behaviour.i surely weep 4 the lost souls who are decaying on this planet who feel inferor to other races coz the white told them that and the adults who have failed a genaration.

@wadza122
Remember, slavery was going on in Africa for thousands of years before White men knew Africa existed. Don't let it be an excuse for you to get yourself down. What ever you think is lost has actually been thrown away. Pick it up! It's still there, trust me on this.

@haitipi sorry no offense but where you there during this so called slavery b4 the white man or you are just parrotin what you heard from the white man. coz last time i checked the history books where tampared with removing the black man from history and depicting them as savages and illiterate yet i found out diffirent. i wouldnt trust the information you are bein fed coz in 2010 pple should have a sense of knowin facts from fiction true history and manufactured manipuleted history.

This is what is taught as factual history in ALL universities, where they don't buy White Guilt politically correct garbage textbooks.
I was in Nigeria back in 1992 when I tried to make a comment that I thought me and my fellow guests and hosts would agree on, using a common PC phrase, "when we were stolen from Africa". My Nigerian (all Black African Nigerians) burst out in hysterical laughter asking, "is that what they teach you in the Americas?". More to follow

@haitipiyou knowledgable. what you fail top grasp is that life is an experience everyday you come to understand and learn more thus dont belittle what you can never understand nor have knowledge of. you assume things which you think im tryin to say but you have no idea where im comin from 2 say this. you assume that you are the only one who has travelled and learned things. dont make assumptions ask 1st the reason i wrote what i said not to try and teach me things which i already know.

I was then shown the sites where the Sokoto Caliphate (Muslim Jihadists, the largest holder of Black infidel Slaves in the world, which they are still very proud of) would export slaves to the Americas and other African destination as well as the Middle East. I was shown displays of what the Yorubans did to my hosts Igbo ancestors before they sold them to Arabs, Dutch and Iberian Slavers. In Haiti, there is plenty of evidence.

@haitipi i reitarate if you missed my point. most black have no knowledge of self. we have been severed into small pieces confusion has been sawed thus you still get ignorant black pple who still think the white man knows all yet they are the ones who are causin havoc. its not a blame game no african prez is in charge of their country nor its resources these are facts. so pliz do understand what im sayin b4 tryin to confuse yourself. you assume that becoz you have travelled tht somehow it makes

I have more info, but you get the point. Whether you believe me, or whether you still believe that white folk was catching stupid animal like African in giant mouse traps, is your choice. But please give Africans a little more credit for intelligence than that. Many Africans voluntarily submit themselves to slavery in order to pay off war debts, debts, or some were POWs. Little did they know that they would be shipped off for good, not just a year or two.

@haitipi if you understood what i wrote you wouldnt be confusin yourself by statin things i did not say.i never stated that i believed europeans where enslavin stupid africans so pliz dont get it twisted. history has been tampered with eg.. you hear pple sayin africans sold africans durin slavery yet when we ask show us these documents that a king or chief signed noone produces them. noone talks about the dead african who died fightin to stop slavery. noone talks about the empire blacks had.
wadza122 1 year ago
@wadza122
Documents? Now you have exposed you ignorance and naivete.
I never presumed anything about your education, race, experience , age. That goes against my nature and profession. I merely explained my life experience and even exposed my ignorance as an idealistic younger man. I have eaten many of my own words and made an ass out of myself many times when I tried patronizing others, finding that they did not need or want their history changed by me to make them feel better .

The problem is that when afrocentric revisionists change history so they can boast of things that never happen, they place themselves in the same position as the ones they uised to condemn.
For example, I used to see many american blacks with T-Shirts claiming that they had something to do with the Egyptian kingdoms of the 3-4 millennium BC. These same idiots would also condemn whites for slavery. They forgot that the Copts were the largest slavers ever

You aren't even a real African. All you do is convince Whites and Asians that black people and Africans are as stupid as the old movies show, by the way to write and speak. You can't even write your own language correctly. At least I can read and write English, besides my languages. I can stand up for myself, without having to put others down,. You condemn white people based on their chance race, while on THEIR COMPUTER SYSTEMS and PROGRAMS.
