[rabbittown1900]

アフリカはエイズが盛んらしいですね。気をつけなきゃいけません­ね！。後飢餓と貧困層が激しいのが問題ですね…！。何とかならな­いでしょうかね！！。アフリカはアフリカの良さが私にはあると思­います！！。そこを見つけるのが良いと思います！！。フェアトレ­ードだかがあるから少しは良いのかなあ。

[Neurozumim]

[prettytoney09]

brother oliver.ndeipi?

[ashleys5093]

whats this style of music called i cant find it any where...im a big fan,,

[Rockafrika]

Oliver Mtukudzi's music has a number of styles - jit & kateke (Zimbabwean style of pop/percussion) & mbaqanga (South African kwela / marabi a form of jazz / swing). Outside of southern Africa it would probably be classified as World Music. If your local music store doesn't have a World Music section, check on Amazon or look out for more of it on You Tube. Similar artists from Zimbabwe include Thomas Mapfumo (who was in a band with Mtukudzi called Wagon Wheels) & Bhundu Boys. Hope this helps :o)

[ashleys5093]

thanks man yeah i found some of there stuf its amazing thanks allot..an awsome typoe of music

[baalsyrup785]

MABASA is an acronym for the Mid African Basin Association for the Assymetric Security Area, which concerns the region of (NDAKUVARA) Nigeria, Democratic Republic of Congo, Algeria, Kolambi, Uganda, Vinatura, Arumachal, Retimbe, and Aklimgonto. Its kind of like Nato

[monarengtebogo]

what does MABASA and NDAKUVARA mean???

[tendaikaren]

@monarengtebogo @ ashleys and monarengtebogo, mabasa means something that is hard to comprehend/understand like death.Mabasa is a sad song.Ndakuvara means i'm hurt ,in the song he is talking about how parents are hurt by their children's actions when they are adults and fail to put into practice the values and lessons the parents taught them when they were still young.Its a great Song

[baalsyrup785]

well, i do speak a little zibabwean. He's talking about the way that the international price of bauxite has affected the manufacturing sector of eastern subsaharan africa. He then proposes a system of subsidies by members of the AU to maintain a consistency in all natural minerals, but warns against a full blown anit-business climate that might inhibit foreign direct investment in light to medium industrial resource discovery and refinement.

[Rockafrika]

Nice try, but there is no such language as "Zibabwean" or even Zimbabwean for that matter. Just as there is no language called "American" :o) There are 3 main languages in Zimbabwe - Shona, Ndebele & English with various dialects of each.

[westcoastskier31]

@Rockafrika its the name of the Zimbabwe retard .dont put others down,i'm from africa retard .

[blacstud]

lol this is funny!

[1951mandala]

Some one tell me what he is saying......the message, I get........the pain, I get.......for all this family......soooooo, if someone knows this languege and can translate for me......would so much appreciate............thank you rono..........

[tendaikaren]

@1951mandala In this song he is narrating domestic violence against women as seen through the eyes of a child and how it affects families.Its a great awareness song.The father is a drunkard

[1951mandala]

Would love to know what he is saying, but it makes me cry........the music is beautiful............and the message is heartbreaking ....for the mother..........

[frankbhunu]

Keep it up TUKU

[mara235]

I don't understand african, but I think I do pictures- the father is a poor man who drinks too much and his wife and child live in dreadful fear of him with his axe, he struggles to make a living cutting wood, as they struggle with the fear that he may someday cut them down. In the end he attempts to teach his son the trade - will the boy grow to be decent or will he become a poor drunkard like his father? This is a story for all people.

[brengaz89]

mara35, well done for trying reading the picture. actually the story is being narrated by a child of father that abuses and terrorises his family all the time. he beats up his wife in front of the kid. and everytime he comes back home, everybody gets frightened. all he thinks about is his beer. the kid is asking how they can be happy when their mother is battered black and blue. he comes back home drunk all the time!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[saPPtheRapTeeR]

great message!

[Mrowek075]

jaki jest tekst tej piosenki

[shobyms]

What a lovely culture! Only Crazie English bastds made Africa so poor and destructed! Africa was so rich 200 years ago before some white trashes got into it.Didnt they go and peril everywhere? Now they have 3 worlds.pathetic because they made it like that!

[shepie1981]

baba munogona chokwadi

[KingLouisXXI]

I have finally found the lyrics,but sadly,I cannot translate on my own...I think I understand for most part,Baba is father,tazeza I think is No more?

[ndanatswa]

yes baba is father and tozeza is to be afraid off. It's a song about domestic violence. "isu vana tofara sei?" means how can we children be happy

[MrGee11]

Tozeza means we fear or we are scared (of dad)

[macermacer111]

Saludos desde Mexico. Viva Africa y su musica.

[CountryKid095]

[dtrh5000]

I feel bad for the people in Africa.

[CODMASTA]

lol y?....i wish i could live there...SAFELY :P

[mchigubu]

dtrh5000: I feel bad for the people in Peru too, where you are from. Africa has problems of domestic violence just as Peru has problems of domestic abuse. Just Google Peru & abuse and you will start feeling sorry for people in Peru and Africa! To sum it all, I feel bad for people in Peru too!

[chichelie]

Es comprensible porque las mujeres africanas son las victimas del SIDA(AIDS).

[okellookello]

my best song from mr. oliver ever!

viva africa, viva oliver

i will forever be greatful to come from africa the best place in the universe!!

[seekyrean]

Fell in Love with Tukus music in 2003, when a cousin returned from an IBM conference is S/A since then I have been an addict.

[chirume]

thats a sad.

[imdatlyndachick]

this song is the truth, a lot of children are afraid of their parents, whether it be the mother or father. There is a great difference between fear and respect and when alcohol abuse is pu tin the mix the outcome can be quite tragic.

[chachacn]

Great Music...I love this man's songs

[chiechelie]

ukaona baba vozezwa zvi nenge zvaoma i wish women could speak out on domestic violence its apity that we defend the men if we speak out it will save us i am a woman and i stand out womens right merci becoup TUKU thumbs up

[bellemskey]

I agree with you 101%... all Tuku's songs are classic hits... True reflection of the African spirit. I love them to bits even though i'm not Zimbabwean. Tuku is indeed a legend.

[laqgfan123]
