En otro video Miriam Makeba explica que los colonizadores de su país, llamaron a esta canción "La Canción del Click", simplemente porque no podían pronunciar su nombre en la lenguaje Xhosa además dice que es una pieza que se canta en las bodas, así que que para Debora mis felicitaciones por enriquecer la cultura universal trayendo esta canción a los hispanoparlantes.

Por cierto, tampoco es Zulu, es Xhosa.

Tal vez el experimento hubiera resultado mejor con el pata pata, los clics del pata pata son un poco más sencillos

Everywhere i look, i see kindness in African people. You have proven this again today. Even though she pronounced isiZulu wrong, you looked past that. Miriam Makeba, your voice and music will forever live on! even in the white people hahahahah

nxa ukhuluma uyakhuluma let it go lady i do not know what you are saying therefore no meaning thina singamaXhosa siyazi ingoma le stick to your taal
I commend her for trying this song, realizing how difficult it is for other people not from our land to pronounce some of our words in IsiXhosa. Hope she finds someone who speaks isiXhosa, siNdebele or isiZulu to help her out with the clicks and then properly redo it. The song has no meaning without the proper pronunciation of the clicks. Its painful to listen to. Good try though, and beautiful voice too. I give her credit for trying.

im not gonna lie i read your post before i saw the video... and i was thinking damn you prolly right, but after the video i started to notice they were using a instrument to mimick the clicking for her which was smart on her part.... all in all she has a beautiful voice.. compared to many proffessional attempts she did pretty good even with xhosa.
Awful i think is a lil unfair.
