  • From her piercing ululation which shattered the silence on stage to her powerful and pitch-perfect homage to Miriam Makeba's ‘Qongqothwane’ - Siki Jo-An proved she meant business getting one of the fastest four-chair turns EVER and a standing ovation. Despite impressive pitches from our panel, it was Riana who won her over ultimately.

      Siki Jo-An nails the spirit of this joyful song. The little beetle whose tapping signals the coming good from God in the form of rains, is a representative of an indomitable spirit. WE NEED more music like this. More than ever, the world needs to see the little signs of God’s goodness to come. It transcends all peoples, places and times, because we need this kind of hope, and to be present in the moment for the little good things today.
      I sure hope Siki leans into these types of arrangements of traditional songs. They are so much more beautiful than pop music of today.

      If you mean the ululating then I'm afraid you are wrong. I am Zimbabwean living in England and last year, my family and I were in a Turkish restaurant we go to often, but this particular night there was a birthday celebration of this Turkish person and their big family. After the cake came and they sang Happy Birthday, the women started ululating. We were sitting right behind them so my mum and aunty turned around and smiled at them in surprise. They also joined in on the ululating and the Turkish family were amazed and we all broke out into laughter. The Turkish family was so happy about the joint ululating that they cut us some large slices of cake, which was so lovely of them.
      I had always thought that ululating was uniquely Zimbabwean and South African. I never even knew that other Africans also ululate, so it was a big surprise to discover that non Africans have the same culture when celebrating. That day I learnt that ululating was intercontinental.

    I watched a show with Miriam Makeba in 1963 where she sang this. I liked it a lot even as a small child and that was the day I learned to hate apartheid.
    Even so. Half way into this version of the song I had tears in my eyes and no way to explain why.

    Qongqothwane is a traditional song of the Xhosa people of South Africa. It is sung at weddings to bring good fortune. In the western world it is mainly known as The Click Song, a nickname given to the song by European colonials who could not pronounce its Xhosa title, which has many click consonants in it. The Xhosa title literally means "knock-knock beetle", which is a popular name for various species of darkling beetles that make a distinctive knocking sound by tapping their abdomens on the ground. These beetles are believed by the Xhosa to bring good luck and rain.
    The song is known world-wide thanks to the interpretation of South African singer Miriam Makeba (herself a Xhosa). In her discography the song appears in several versions, both with the title Qongqothwane and as The Click Song.
    More information on the song can be found in Makeba's book The World of African Song (Chicago: Quadrangle Books, 1971), including the following translation: "The doctor of the road is the beetle / He climbed past this way / They say it is the beetle / Oh! It is the beetle."
    She explains the song as a traditional folk song which refers to the knocking beetle which makes clicking sounds and can revolve the top part of its body in any direction. The beetle is used in children's games to point the way home, but also has a deeper symbolism, pointing the way to a better future in times of trouble. In her biography (p.86), she mentions singing it in The Village Vanguard Club in New York, and calls it a "Xhosa song about a dreamy bride".

      I was born in Barbados and on my first visit to Africa (to South Africa), getting off the plane and stepping on the ground was an emotional experience that I will never forget.
      On my visit to Ghana, from which the people to be enslaved were shipped, that was even more emotional. Our small countries (Jamaica, Barbados, etc) are not part of Africa but we are African by heritage and mighty proud of it. It is more than just Geography for those of us who know better.

    This is the first time I am seeing the South Africa version of "The Voice." I see a problem here. Most South African vocalists have voices directly from Heaven so how can they be judged? I have listened to these amazing vocalists and am in total awe. When I listen to the choirs also and hear their beautiful harmonies. I am from Trinidad and I am currently learning the pronunciation of this beautiful language as I will be soon learning this song as well as "pata pata." I will not be negative and say that it is difficult. I will say that I accept the challenge. I will sing the songs to the best of my ability but this beautiful vocalist in addition to all South African vocalists are in a higher class. I am inspired and very happy to have found this version. Who ever gave this a thumbs down is obviously brain damaged. "Heavenly Father forgive them for they know not what they do!"

      @@keikosah8254 intelligence and uncommon sense wins over an acronym any time. I'm safe. I use SA because I wanted to when talking about this video. I am very good at geography.

      @@kweenme8101 SA is how South Afrika is referred to. We know what you meant, Afi 😊
      We never say ZA. ZA is the official international acronym used to identify a country, and not the colloquial way in which we speak of a country.
      I know what you mean when you say that hearing songs resides deeply within you and makes you emotional. The same happens to me.
      Colonisers destroyed so many people, heritages, countries and cultures. They continue to do do. Yet despite their violence and violent nature, black and brown people continue to stand strong. Aluta continua sista.
