Much as I requested Kevin to ask Kate, being a girl and
all,(yes, all) to learn Nakupenda, I
went ahead to learn this song by Brenda Fassie. You should watch the performance she does for Mandela, epic! Kwanza, that 180 split? No, it’s not
the split that caught my eye though, it is the strong vocals, yidiyada.
This song is beautifully written and is slightly similar to
Mwana Mberi.
If you don't have a moral at the end of this post, remember, Africa is not a country with villages called Sangala where everyone speaks like Dubaku (24 ssn 8) :-D Kenyan filmmakers should do a movie with a made-up European country and call it...I don't know, Skumavenia?
Now, if you are planning to do your own rendition of a song;
one, get the pronunciation correct and two, find out the meaning. Otherwise you
end up with this
Instead of this
Cracked me up!
