South African Music, Anyone? by Gamine(f): 7:44pm On Oct 18, 2008 |
I know Nigerians are usually very biased people outside were people are looking at them but behind closed doors, Anyways, does anyone listen to SA music im kinda addicted to some ryt now, and they r FUN!! Artists like Zola Unathi Pitch Black Afro Bravo Mafikizolo Freshlyground e.t.c if you havent been listening, try em out! |
Re: South African Music, Anyone? by samboribo(m): 10:39pm On Oct 18, 2008 |
Zola- Don't Cry Mandoza - Indoda is my best Freshly Ground (you must love them if you dig live music) Mafikizolo - Sibongile remains my best from them |
Re: South African Music, Anyone? by Gamine(f): 12:23am On Oct 19, 2008 |
Yea, i like Live music. I dnt like Mandoza so mach Zola-Mdlwembe, Ehlala, Its ur life. Unathi-Sgubhu Sam That Dont Cry from Zola, seems to be their most popular track. |
Re: South African Music, Anyone? by A40(m): 12:25am On Oct 19, 2008 |
I like Zola (Don't cry is one of my fav) H2O (Its wonderful) Jozi Miriam Makeba Skwatta Kamp Bongo Maffin |
Re: South African Music, Anyone? by Gamine(f): 2:51pm On Oct 19, 2008 |

@ Gamine, what's with the naija blah blah beginning part of your post? It was simply unecessary, you could have just posted without that. Newayz, most S.A music i listen to is Hiphop. Outside that, the other genres are very few. Tumi Proverb - from Heartbeat, to that song he used Martin Luther King. Jr's speech as a sample ProKid Optical Illusion H20 HHP also feelin' Zola's Don't Cry. Others are Hugh Masekela or somethn like that, Freshly Ground, Danny K, MXO, Prime Circle, like Mafikizolo as well, then there's this girl, can't remember the name, song was with Hugh, thandiswe or somethng like that. . . |

Re: South African Music, Anyone? by Wordsmith(m): 6:57pm On Oct 19, 2008 |

Personally to me, SA music sounds naturally for Charities. I mean it just has that sound and tone that makes you just pull out your check book and started writing your life savings away. 1 Like |
Re: South African Music, Anyone? by A40(m): 1:06am On Oct 20, 2008 |
milknhoney:Exactly there is just too much soul in their music even listening to their national anthem is enough to make one sober |
Re: South African Music, Anyone? by Nobody: 1:23am On Oct 20, 2008 |
I'm not really conversant with the new artistes but at least I know freshlyground. I was impressed with the song "I'd like". I've always liked songs from Lucky Dube, Mariam Makeba, Brenda Fassie, Chaka chaka. |
Re: South African Music, Anyone? by mbulela: 5:04pm On Oct 20, 2008 |
Oh beautiful south african music!!! i spend four years there and got hooked. i still remain a big fan even after i left the country. if you love live music, you must see Freshly ground. one of the best world music bands around. I saw them a few times in Cape Town and was smitten. Every album of theirs (all 3) has a cherished place in my collection. The lead vocalist - Zo is simply amazing. That girl rocks. as good as some Nigerian acts are, live performance is still a big problem. i have seen most of the nigerian big acts on stage and i was rarely impressed. Freshlyground blew the roof each time i saw them play. the biggest heritage of the south africans music wise is Jazz. the pool is enviable; Bra Hugh (Hugh Masekala) remains a force and i could post a coupe of his more popular tracks later (I want to get the spellings right). in the interim check out Stimela and the duet he had with Sibongile Khumalo. that lady Sibongile Khumalo has the most amazing voice i have ever heard. her voice is as big as her body. if you are a fan of live music and have a jazz leaning, buy, borrow or steal a copy of Live at the Market place by Sibongile Khumalo. to have a feel of one of the greatest Bassist to ever come out of Africa check out any of Sipho Gumede albums. he died a few year back but his works still speak. Popular tracks include Thank you for listening, from me to you and song for John Kyali. Kwaito is king in SA and it does not get better than Kabelo (Mr Bouga luv) , he is reformed and living on the safe lane these days and the music is better than ever. check out the track 'I am King' from his latest album. Mzekezeke is the Dbanj of SA and is another linch pin of Kwaito. I loved Zola's Don't cry and i was suprised when i then saw a similar song by Mode 9. i wonder who copied who. for rap fans, it does not get better than Skwatta Kamp (mkhukhu funkshen is one of the best) and pitch black afro, although the raps are in Zulu. for the english rappers, Tumi and the volume is the main man. i was never much of a fan but he is good all the same. |
Re: South African Music, Anyone? by Gamine(f): 6:20pm On Oct 20, 2008 |
Yeah! I have to see Freshly ground LIVE sometime! im not so much for Jazz, still like it tho i love the Kwaito, and i dont care that the rap is in Zulu, its still FUN. @Still, Yup! We used to have video tapes of Yvonne Chaka Chaka, Brenda Fassie and Mariam Makeba Its Your wedding day, i can still remember how we used to act this song nkobruthi, im not sure thats the spelling, but it has to do with their favorite brew. LOL@milknhoney They are sooooooo soulful |
Re: South African Music, Anyone? by thando(f): 6:25pm On Oct 20, 2008 |
? |
Re: South African Music, Anyone? by mbulela: 6:28pm On Oct 20, 2008 |
if you love kwaito, you've got to get Kabelo's last 2 albums; Exodus and I am King. Mr Bouga luv 2 shoes is the real deal. |
Re: South African Music, Anyone? by mbulela: 6:30pm On Oct 20, 2008 |
i feel Thandiswa is over rated although bongo muffin were good. |
Re: South African Music, Anyone? by Gamine(f): 10:29pm On Oct 20, 2008 |
I would look for those guys! great music! |
Re: South African Music, Anyone? by samboribo(m): 11:15pm On Oct 20, 2008 |
kun jani, people! for those saying their music is too soulful, it's probably because you only listen (or watch on tv when flipping through channels, as in most cases) that particular genre. i love kwaito and house genres. Afro Z - My Coldest War Judith Sephuma- A Cry, A Smile, A Dance Brenda Fassie- Vuli Ndlela |
Re: South African Music, Anyone? by samboribo(m): 11:26pm On Oct 20, 2008 |
@Gamine Mandoza is my best kwaito artiste. hits like Indoda, Tornado, Sqelegeke (sp?), etc |
Re: South African Music, Anyone? by Gamine(f): 11:28pm On Oct 20, 2008 |
i like that Sgelegeke. i think my prob is with the dude Who dosnt like Brenda Fassie's Vuli Ndela |
Re: South African Music, Anyone? by A40(m): 11:42pm On Oct 20, 2008 |
