Some complete looser posting all those coments. Why go to this video if you dont like it? Im an athiest but still respect peoples views. and love this song.
wasn't this song on a movie soundtrack, i'm trying so hard to think of it and i just can't remember, i think my head is gonna pop if i don't figure it out soon
@jesusjones5151 u lil piece of shit go and die and give the world's a break. go fuck yourself and then go die. you wont miss to anyone. noone wants a retard in this world making jokes of others' religion. I hope you die
The background is The Ladysmith Black Mambazo African Choir. they are from Zim, and they sing, I think, in Zulu. They are singing a Christian worship song, Halala means 'holy' or 'praise', something to that effect.
So really, what you are hearing is two songs at the same time. There is a dance that goes with this song as well (the Halala song).
Ladysmith B M is a South African choral group. Many of the Southern African countries have similar gospel singing styles. The main languages of Zim are Shangaan and Ndebele, Zulu is spoken mainly in the Kwazulu Natal region of South Africa.
I love this song, its a great blend of Ben's heart and style and the incomparable harmonies of SA gospel.
i came into school today and the teachers told us to sit down in front of a candle, this song was played. a girl walked out crying, that shows the beauty of this song
I'm not sure, I dont think they have genres (born and raised in S.A. but havent been back for a decade) its just African folk music/gospel.. their general style is big groups with those backing harmonies/vocals etc.. look up any african music.. also search Ipi Ntombi
Ben Harper with The Ladysmith Black Mambazo... Magic !

It has been spoken, he would come again.
But would we recognise his kingdom of men?
John the Baptist is Lauryn Hill.
Peter is Angelo Christou. Or Angel Christ.
Paul is Scott Camporeale.
Matthew is Anthony Koutoufides.

abusing someone for hating Christ is not worthwhile people.
no matter how wrong, they are entitled to express themselves, and they will be held accountable.
we are not judges!
as for the comments made ...
a) anyone trying to sound tough in text, very obviously isn't
b) anyone who would post those kind of comments, on this kind of song, is obviously just trying to get a rise out of someone.
"most assuredly I say to you he who believes in Me Has eternal life" Jesus Christ
