>>>Tips : Sydafrikansk musik - Freshlyground
Här kommer ett tips om Sydafrikansk musik:
Idag ger Freshlyground ut en ny platta som heter Ma'Cheri.
Freshlyground är ett Sydafrikanskt Afro-Fusion band som formades i Kapstaden i 2002. Bandmedlemmen kommer ifrån Sydafrika, Mozambique och Zimbabwe. Freshlyground använder sig av traditionell Sydafrikansk musik så som "kwela" och "African folk" samt "indie rock". Det är sångerskan Zolani Maholas unika röst som gjorde att Freshlyground vann MTVs tävling om "Best African Act".

Tack för tipset! Jag älskar detta band och ska beställa skivan genast.
Vilken kul nyhet! Har lyssnat på Nomvula en hel del och gillar den. Sångerskan har en skön röst!
Hoppas den dyker upp på iTunes Store.
TRACKBACK
After Seeing Freshlyground at a mid-shoot party of Nicholas Cage's Lord of War (Reel Eyes Production), Molo instantly decided to buy their second album, Nomvula.
Nomvula means "After the rain"
Nomvula lyrics:
Sondela, mhlobo wam
Nali ibali elide; apho kwaqala khona inkathazo -zozo...
Ndakhuliswa nguyise wam, owaswelekelwa esemtsha
NguDarly wakhe, umama wam uEdith Nomvula Thomas Mahola
Sasibathathu kumama wam, ndingowesbini ke mna; umafungwashe katata
Ubhut' Doc Nceba Mahola
Zang' alile uyise wam mhla kwakufihlwa umzimba wesithandwa seminyaka
eDon Bosco Kwazakhele, 4 rooms, with a dining-room table eBhayi
Zange balile nabathathu ecamb' kwengcwaba lakhe
Zandl' ezincinci zalahl' uthuth' eluthuthweni singasazi nesizathu
Tyhini na bethuna usishiyil' uSis' Nono! Usishiyil' uSis' Nono!
Hayini! Azange sayibona intombi enje yakhuliswa yindoda
Dlamini! Abazange bayibona intombi enje yakhuliswa yindoda.
Sondela, mhlobo wam
Nali ibali elide; apho kwaqala khona inkathazo -zozo...
Did you see the music video while listening to the lyrics? Then you must have found out that the song is sung in isiXhosa, one of South Africa's 11 official languages. The text below is an English translation of the lyrics. Above you will find the lyrics in isiXhosa.
"Come closer my friend
Here follows a long tale about where the trouble started
I was raised by my father
Who was bereaved at a young age by his true darling, my mother
Edith Nomvula Thomas Mahola
There were three of us by my mother, myself the second
The middle child of my father, Bhut' Doc Nceba Mahola
Never did my father cry, when they hid the body of the love of many years
At Don Bosco; Kwazakhele... four rooms (with a dining room table) in Port Elizabeth
Neither did the three cry at the side of the grave,
Small hands throwing dust to dust not knowing the reason:
Tyhini na bethuna! Sis' nono has left us! Sis' nono has left us!
Hayini!
Never have we seen such a girl raised by a man.
Dlamini!
Never have they seen such a girl raised by a man.
Come closer my friend
Here follows a long tale about where the trouble started"
