Mozambique

[MatthiasStiedingweb]

That was one of my best clips on you tube, but without the music that is only half as good. But I know that one song was "Iko-Iko Zap Mama (Suca Mama)" and the second "Jimi Hendrix - All Along The Watchtower". but there was still one? Please write me if anyone knows that. Thank you. Viva Mozambique I love you!

[MatthiasStiedingweb]

Yes, bring the sound back!

[mbiraguy]

Bring the sound back, youtube!

Damn.

[only20gp]

many people ask about the song in the beggining. its called sho sho loza.its an old changane song sang by workers in the colonial days.started when they used a rope to pull the feries across the rivers in the northern parts of the country.today its a song used by the rsa rugby team springboks.the translation means something like` power, team working etc.

[johntabbot]

ok kids, ..this is where all the black criminals in america are originally from

[asakurakojii]

ive been there for 4 yrs it a beutiful place better than usa

there r no fights like selfish usa freaks

[RyGil91]

Not EVERYBODY is like that in the U.S. I'm an American and I totally disagree with your statement. We are totally against war. Its our government, however, that is not.

[kimchicrackers]

RyGil91. We have a representative government.  If Americans didn't believe in our government's imperial ambitions we would elect different leaders and give them different mandates. We get the government that we deserve, unfortunately the worlds poorest people often suffer most of the consequences.

[Sigmaris01]

Bob Dylan for the win!

[ParadoxPegasusPL]

OMG. nice exotic country

[MickeysFohg]

[MickeysFohg]

[katrinita0]

Oh, wow, this makes me miss Moz! :( And that's even the song we used in a performing arts scene where we did gumboots.

But I gotta say, haha, mlungu probably paid too much in that market there. :P

Did you live in Moz or just visit?

[MickeysFohg]

[YrHen]

Happy memories of the international gang of reprobates in 90/91 who drank too much in the O'Bau Pizza pub during the week, and then at "The Blue Anchor" on the Costa do Sol campsite at the weekend.

Does anyone still use that old rust bucket ferry with the bullet holes in the funnel to go to the prawns cafe at Catembe? I think the only helicopters we saw then were called Hinds! and they were shooting at the boys in the bush!

[Defenderofeyre]

welcome to maputo international airport rokus

i see you went to costa do sol as do everybody, but im wondering... did you go north, only around 500kms before the real fun.

you should try if you ever come back, instead of taking a flight above sommerset II and costa do sol, by the way how far did you go in that heli, couse you went some time in that you did :) try a car next time and go to massingir by the old way, its still on some maps :) note: only try so if you speak portoguese XD

Great Video, great music restores my faith in cool people doing cool things.

ElenaMariaHansen why you have to make bad of something good.

[masterchief377]

I yearn to travel to Africa and enjoy the beautiful eastern coast.---Although an American, I'm sure if I don't go expecting to make fun of their culture I should be fine.

[ElenaMariaHansen]

How about giving all the money you spent for the helicopter trip to the people?? This is one of the poorest countries of the world and its a place I love from the depth of my heart and videso like this make me angry!! This world is completely crazy!!

[GroenRizla]

East Africa is a beautiful part of the world and its good to see people enjoying it. Alot of us South Africans are moving there.

Why do you have to moan like you do. Sounds like you just jealous you werent in the heli.

You just crazy & people like you make me angry!

[macafricascot]

Where all the Safaas moving?

[maxtube22]

ElenaMariaHansen how about you quit your job, sell your house, car and all your possessions including all your jewelery and the computer you used to post that hypocritical message and send it all to Mozambique. I am sure that will equal to a thousand helicopter trips.

No? Didn't think so hypocrite.

This video has already had over 18,000 views, I am sure a lot of them will be from people who will in the future go to Mozambique and help the economy there when otherwise they never would have.

[Gmaria5722]

I miss Mozambique (Lourenco Marques) now Maputo...

Mocambicanita

[Russoft]

Gotta hate those bakkies flying down the beach. Nearly become road kill during a stroll along the beach. Idiots.

Mozambique coast, best place in the world (imo).

[wack66]

[platoAU]

thanks for sharing your trip to Mozambique...

hottest sand I've ever stood-on.. ouch!

[YrHen]

If your out there, Paul of the "Blue Anchor" on the camp site in Maputo. We remember the Zulu nights, the cold Castle beers and Bwana Bob sends jambos from the Great Game Park in the sky!

[seannyuk]

I was sat waiting for the Bob Dylan track to come on!!:) Love Mozambique been here since October leaving sadly this Monday!!!!

Cheers great video!

[xaixai77]

wow

[xaixai77]

Nice Video! Moz is trully Beautifull

[Russoft]

grew up in central mozambique. Spent 4 years on Maputo, and 9 years in chimoio (ok, not IN chimoio, but 45 minutes out of chimoio). Scenery makes me homesick! How recent is this footage?

[rokus]

i shot the footage in september 2006 on a very brief trip over there.

[perkele0079]

Were those beach pictures Ponto do Ouro? That place is paradise.

[rokus]

No, the peninsula of Machangulo.

[KillahMPT]

Great Video...I just got back from a vacation there...it is really friendly and the beach full with the shrimps!!!!

[SidDeeky]

Nice brief shot of that old rust bucket Catembe ferry. Wonder if it's funnel is still full of bullet holes? The O'Bau Pizza pub was the place to be in early 90s, that place contained some serious drinkers and great characters.

[perkele0079]

I wonder if they'll ever build a bridge over the river. If they do, I'm sure the ferry operators will be up in arms.

[dpnuno]

I grew up in Mozambique left in '76. Thanks for taking me back. I am in Richmond Va, where do you live?

[rokus]

The song is called Iko Iko and I think I got it from the Mission Impossible soundtrack.

[dpnuno]

What is the last song. I love the whole thing..thanks

[dpnuno]

I love that last song. What is it?

[rokus]

; )

[Brightonjazzfan]

Mate, was great to see your footage of this beautiful country, esp Maputo, where I lived for a year. but I will bet you money that that first song was South African!

[thomasdjrasta]

i am living in mozambique right now i am staying at vilanculos where me and my parents are building a lodge.I just wanted to now what part of mozambique have you visited(what city)

[runbathrun]

Pretty cool! I would like to take my family to visit my brother there but the air fares are killin me.
