Brenda Fassie-Qula

[hitmanbos]

we all know that Brenda was a XHOSA and her family is still among XHOSA'S E KAPA.

[gregboyds]

WARNING CHILDREN!

HAVING UNPROTECTED SEX RESULTING IN AIDS, AND DOING DRUGS, WILL KILL YOU EARLY.

JUST LIKE THEY DID BRENDA FASSI.

[Xinya4RupertGrint]

[msayofemi1]

[nightmoves0809]

She was so cute. As strong as she was, one could almost pick her up with one hand. But like her talent she would fall out of your hand.

[OddVerb]

@snookieflash Memeza (:

[picaso2806]

une petite pensée pour Brenda en ce jour 9/05/211 RIP

[msayofemi1]

[msayofemi1]

[muzik123beat]

africa is ze best

[NANCYMPONELA]

me like the video it reminds me of my old friend

[mzimkhulunyeka]

This song is strictly an anthem of the amaXhosa men who sing it as a young lad is led to the proverbial mountain for initiation into manhood as Ngququ stated. AmaMfengu, also sing the song because they perform the same custom with minor differences such as the time the circumcision takes place. Qula kwedini!

[mariedo010]

Qula!!!! Memeza!

She was a great singer ! RIP

[msayofemi1]

[Saronaist]

heish,i don't know what to say really.This song holds memories

[AfricanMusicGroup]

This song is Amazing. Can someone please translate?

[ngququ]

@AfricanMusicGroup

This is a common folk song among the xhosa people in SA. it means

get ready for battle young man(qula kwedini), khawuze nazo kwedini kabawo(bring them home my young brother).

The song relates to the custom among the xhosa people of circumcising young men when they're around 18 or older. Only after circumcision are they considered men.

[msayofemi1]

i know its zulu but its popular all over espacially in nigeria and benin nomakanjani R.I.P mabrr

[idyouse]

Never heard of her before, but she is great. Thanks I enjoyed listening to her

[shefftim]

Fabulous.

[anmapetssa]

[PhilippineJeann]

Thanks to luvmostmusic for sharing this name with me! Yes you are correct as she had it all! She sings so powerful and sounds so wonderful!

[lamaitrise1]

brenda était magnifique

[DenEColt]

Brenda was a real discovery for me - around 2006, I think. Such a shame to lose so talented an artist. I bought a best of collection and sought her out on YouTube. Huge thanks to you for these uploads... Brenda is still a marvelous star in a constellation of brilliant African stars. Shine on!

[Botsgurl]

it is great to be African always

[ervien81]

i just love this song,its great!! RIP!!

[chiomze]

Aww I didn't know she died I always said what happened to Brenda

Good review, she was a great singer. RIP Brenda.

[kingnembo]

its somtimes great to be african

[sida26]

not only sometimes BUT ALWAYS......

[Mattiecomeback9]

what you mean sometimes? Tshaka the Zulu, Mandela, Angelique Kidjo, Djimon Hounsou (not sure of his surname), Miriam Makheba, Oliver Mutukudzi, Salief Keita, Michael JACKSON, James Brown, Sydney poitier, Barack Obama, Oprah, Tyra, Jill Scott, benjamin Mwaruwaru, Liya Kibedi, Iman, Grace Jones etc Lelethi Khumalo (sarafine)and Charlize Theron born n bred on African soil. All these and more are descendents of africa. Africa is the originator of the strong and creative.

[odenskrigare]

Mtukudzi

and yes Hounsou is correct

Don't forget the brilliant scientist Kwabena Boahen from Ghana, who is now developing cutting edge neuromorphic hardware

There's probably a lot of untapped potential in sub-Saharan Africa

[mourti81]

whole africa miss her so much

[umzabalazoful]

qula actualy means to "stick fight" its an old traditional song the xhosa people sing when a boy goes through the process of becoming a man.....

[irenecbcn]

1 Love...1 Heart...1 GOD..R.I.P

[billboy9990]

[brad827]

What does Qula mean????

[smackheadbrolli]

[Tseli190]

dogg Qula means

One love

[matida09]

i think u mean 'cula'...that means sing

[cris8249]

What a tragic and unnecessary loss. She was a very talented woman. Reminds me of how Edith Piaf's sad life turned out..

[brad827]

WQhat does Qula mean??

[billboy9990]

[20chee08]

just asking coz i saw ur info about fassie on wikipedia and on other sites..no bad feelings??? and my point was...JUST ASKING!!!!

[20chee08]

let me guess....you copied the information about brenda fassie (mabrr) from wikipedia and pasted it here on youtube ?!?!?!

[snookieflash]

And your point being???

[dadoh10]

My point being that AFRICA is and always going to be the mother of EARTH .

[nicksum29]

Africa is the mother of Earth? Well, then we have a pretty fucked up mother.

[dadoh10]

Well after being robbed of her treasure,colonized, bought,sold,enslaved and corrupted, who would blame her.

[Kaspergyselinck]

What do you actually mean by this?

[dadoh10]

Go to the your nearest library and pickup books on the pillage of the African continent.

[Kaspergyselinck]

Blame her for what? Using drugs?

I want to drugs too because of the african continent that got pillaged sometimes. Eish !

[shnazer1]

@Kaspergyselinck then go live in the bush without your computer. because we gave it to you

[msayofemi1]

@shnazer1 fuck you we gave you life so without us your computers wouldent exist and neither would you shit ass

[we5026]

very nice comment

africa unite!

[9874562310]

And we cannot explain Xhosa culture into English, there wont be anything to embrace because it will just become another phase, and that its better to just experience than try to know everything,which usually results in life being banal and mediocre

[niyag1977]

Love the guitar

[navigatro]

The guitar is awesome, isn't it?

[kykdaar]

Brenda will always remain an inspiration to the impoverished of South Africa - who had that indelible fire in their soul.

Don't worry Sis Mabrr - we will never forget you ...

Lala Kahle ...

'mshengu'

[lovekwatio]

RIP Brenda

[MadameQueen79]

Qula Kwedini means " Defend, Defend boy of my father" Its a Xhosa war cry

[MadameQueen79]

Miss You Ma B. So many happy memories when I listen to your songs. Thank you Ma B. Rest In Peace. xxx

[xxlee65xx]

i love you breda

[zzenzzele]

This song is about Xhosa culture things that can't be discuss on youtube or the internet. Sorry, jsut accept that this things are what they are - Xhosa culture, the road to heaven.

[handsomeboy490]

Zzenzzele, In that case Xhosa culture is weird! so is your name. njele, nthele or nzele is a traditional bowl made by splitting a calabash in half. it was used to serve porridge, food, water, and even beer. nobody calls their kids this name in my all our villages/ towns. cheers!

[msayofemi1]

@handsomeboy490 dont you mean unzenzile it means you ahve no one to blame but your self

[Mwashelly]

RIP Brenda!
