Marabi was the name given to a keyboard style (often using cheap pedal organs) that had a musical link to American jazz, ragtime and blues, with roots deep in the African tradition.
I am having such fun sharing Mafikizolo with all my Canadian friends. Love that early township sound, and man that penny whistle! It takes me home....

This is basically a message from a mother telling her child to beware in Jozi as there are a lot of tsotsis.

Inderdaad geweldige begin-en eindnummers. Dat was ook al bij de olympische zomerspelen. En toen wilde ik ook al weten wie dat nummer zong.
Helemaal geweldig

Ze hebben het over "Egoli" en dat is naar ik meen de Zulu naam voor Johannesburg.
Dus daar zal het nummer wel over gaan denk ik:-)
De rest van de tekst? GEEN IDEEE! HAHAA!
Goed dat dit "ouwe" nummer nu grijs gedraaid word bij Studio sport!
Geweldig!
