In 4 years this video has been viewed as many times as the talking dog tease video was in less than a week. I am so sick of the public. The public sucks.

This is the BEST South Africa has to offer. Just his voice and his guitar, that's it!

Reminds me a lot of Solomon Linda's "Mbube" (aka "The Lion Sleeps Tonight"). I saw Vusi last night with his rhythm guitarist Mongezi Chris Ntaka. Absolutely unbelievable. This was his encore.
