Miriam Makeba - The Click Song (cover)

[chekelitoCIL]

En otro video Miriam Makeba explica que los colonizadores de su país, llamaron a esta canción "La Canción del Click", simplemente porque no podían pronunciar su nombre en la lenguaje Xhosa además dice que es una pieza que se canta en las bodas, así que que para Debora mis felicitaciones por enriquecer la cultura universal trayendo esta canción a los hispanoparlantes.

Por cierto, tampoco es Zulu, es Xhosa.

Tal vez el experimento hubiera resultado mejor con el pata pata, los clics del pata pata son un poco más sencillos

E vabbè, sei Sudafricano, capisci che per uno stranieronon è facile pronunciare il Q, X, C.

[oladapo007]

Beautiful..good job

[MissYassa]

Hmmm...a click song without any clicks...just like nike without air = possible, but...it sucks. lol

She tried to do it...(I don't know if that was a good idea...)

[stacynewyork]

LMAO!! I agree

[Satafrika]

nkonkowanee hahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha­hhahaha Mhaneeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee­eeeeeee

Huuuuuuuuuuuuu hahane or malume

I commend her for trying this song, realizing how difficult it is for other people not from our land to pronounce some of our words in IsiXhosa. Hope she finds someone who speaks isiXhosa, siNdebele or isiZulu to help her out with the clicks and then properly redo it. The song has no meaning without the proper pronunciation of the clicks. Its painful to listen to. Good try though, and beautiful voice too. I give her credit for trying.

@toobit7

Everywhere i look, i see kindness in African people. You have proven this again today. Even though she pronounced isiZulu wrong, you looked past that. Miriam Makeba, your voice and music will forever live on! even in the white people hahahahah

[ummacles]

I love this arrangement of the song, but I find it difficult to enjoy as a whole due to the mispronunciation of nearly every word. She does, however, have a good voice.

[chamunda35]

it,s sweet, nice try!!

[bluedrew612]

Great voice but she cannot pronounce the Xhosa words that are crucial to the music... so it's really awful

[bjahava]

im not gonna lie i read your post before i saw the video... and i was thinking damn you prolly right, but after the video i started to notice they were using a instrument to mimick the clicking for her which was smart on her part.... all in all she has a beautiful voice.. compared to many proffessional attempts she did pretty good even with xhosa.

Awful i think is a lil unfair.

[jacobson00]

she is good

[morbidser]

excelente voz,excelente interpretación.

Y ademas tienes muy buena energia, y eres la mas linda de la debora.

[sebitasdeoro]
