Baba Hugh Masekela is one of the best jazz musicians ever.

Baba Hugh sings so many songs mainly to do with the freedom of Africans in Mama Azania(Mother Southern Africa), he did so many songs with Mama Africa(Mama Miriam Makeba) and he was at his finest and dedicated best.

Baba Hugh Masekela one of Africa's great musicians and sons of our freedom self-empowerment.

Good old days, back in mama land. I had no worries back then, listening to these tunes makes feel like i used feel back then.

[jimbo1066]

[Nyats08]

GREAT SONG

[Zimchick1]

love this, reminds me of my Dad

[kweencessX]

Me too. Reminds me of the happy times. How life can change without you even watching...

[Zimchick1]

So true. I lost my beloved Dad 2 months ago, not long after I found this clip on YT and emailed it to him to remind him of old times, so this song is even more poignant now. I feel him looking down on me now whenever I listen to this and other songs he enjoyed. It definitely makes me smile.

[RatchetEms]

@Zimchick1 my condolences i'm glad this video makes you feel better

[Zimchick1]

Thank you :-)

[101wonda]

Can someone hit me up and tell me what hugh and thandiswa are really saying. Are they dissing her or what?? It sounds like ba re ke a fohloza or something. Pls help me out. I've always loved it but never really knew what it meant

[ngququ]

@101wonda

He's basically telling his sister to watch her weight. She's even struggling to walk coz she's so overweight.

[Naphiri]

this song reminds me of my mom and my aunt at her 50th birthday...

[zzalas]

Lovely song.........Translation anyone?

[sncamie]

It talks about a fat girl called Thanayi who eats a lot of food and can hardly walk by herself. Its a humorous song not meant to ridicule or discriminate against heavy people but just making fun of it, which is customary in many southern African nations to make fun of each other in a jocular way not with spitefulness.

[lebomatseke]

It also talks about what she eats. fish and chips, bunny chow, tripe etc. It's actually quite a cute song. We black South Africans do make fun of that. It sucks now but back then it was kinda a complement.

[purite123]

I really love this song,I have been looking for it on YouTube and FINALLY I FOUND IT.Thanks for this Proudly South African music.Keep up the good work.Peace
