    Positive cultural exchange is such a sight. Amazing voice and amazing performance. Xhosa is a beautiful language to listen to, in fact all click languages are beautiful. I absolutely adore the song Qongqothwane and to see it be performed so soulfully is just... wow. Amazing work.

    Very good man my mother taught me to sing this song very young as a white male I'm proud to say that I know how to sing this song to the best of my ability which I believe is better than some
    But I am still humbled to have had such a great mother of freedom and no limits
    The only reason why I was searched for this song recently is because my mother passed away and I just wanted to sing it again from what she shared with me

    • @Aston3422
      @Aston3422  Před 2 lety +4

    This was amazing. I am an American, who is familiar with South African culture, from some cultural experiences I’ve had online, and I have several South African friends, even though I’ve never physically been to the country. It’s my dream destination. You have done this song so much justice. I’m impressed.

    • @leigh4326
      @leigh4326 Před rokem

      Harrison you would not want to leave, hosted American friends and in laws last year and one even cried that she connected with her ancestors. What got me is that the young white people wanted to move there. Just come as you are with respect and kindness. We will welcome you with open arms because we practice Ubuntu❤

    @sardarcantu7960 Před 5 měsíci

    I really like this song, I'd like to learn it, but isiXhosa seems a challenging language hah, but as in every language, one way is to learn it through songs, especially that you are singing slowly, it gets easier to learn. I might not learn it today, maybe not tommorow, but one day, I'll give it a try 😁 it's one of the most beautiful languages I've ever heard ❤❤❤

    I love the song and the Xhosa language. It is my ambition to learn to sing this song. It's quite a challenge as are the myriads of vowels in my native Danish. I was really surprised when I found out that the song is about a Beetle! How about that?
