  • What a tune!

  • Mafikizolo beautifully recreate the sound of fifties South African music with the legendary Hugh Masekela making a star appearance. And, damn!, they're good at it!

  • This reminds me of my stay in south Africa in the late 90s. Beautiful Pple Rich culture, Great Music.

  • Their music is also influenced by kwaito and they have been credited with a genre called Kwela after their style of music. It has been described as kwaito-cum-marabi house music. Their music deals with pertinent social issues such as women and children abuse, poverty, the importance of education and the dangers of casual sex. They have performed all over Southern Africa and have a fan base all over the world.

  • THANKS YOU GOD FOR BLESSING US AFRICANS WITH SUCH PURE BEAUTIFUL SOUND!!!!!!!!!

  • I wish i understood what she's singing...but no matter...it's a beautiful song!!

  • @XMissPreciousJayX No, it's Kwela.
