  • This is a traditional South African song. It is Zulu, meaning Hold on. The words are very simple. 'Bambelela' (Hold on) first verse and second verse is 'Ku Jesu Bambelela' (Hold on to Jesus). The complete song consists of two simple chords repeated. Normally 'G' and 'C', but can obviously be transposed in any other two chords. This is a beautiful song with deep meaning.

  • Is this a traditional African tune? If not, do you know who wrote it?

  • Those are really pretty dresses! You all looked like you were a wedding party. I was like WHOA!
