Gumboot at the United Colors of Slater Cultural Show

Our gumboot performance at the Slater International Students Association cultural show. Gumboot is a dance that originated with the miners in South Africa. The first minute is quite dark but there is audio. Unfortunately the audio does not match the video.

Would help if one could SEE the video...

It would help if you read the description where I said the first minute is dark.

The first song is Shoshaloza, which has become a national song in South Africa over the past 10 years - unofficial SA (sporting) anthem. "Shosholoza, this train is gaining speed and steaming for South Africa."

Lyrics Shosholoza, Kulezontaba

Stimela Sphuma South Africa

Wenu Yabaleka Wenu Yabaleka...

Shoshaloza mimics the train sound and has no meaning other than that...

Does anyone know (or can make out) what the girl is saying before they all come in and sing?I am trying to have a step team do this at my school

[rodog247]

I do the gumboot dance, but has always been with the guys. This is interesting to see.
