    I love Zahara so damn much. Her voice makes me want to just sit down and cry because I feel like I have been reunited with my soul or something spiritual like that. It's amazing. It's beautiful and amazing.

    No auto tune and still a great performance, imagine that. Could it be talent? Yes, imagine that.

    To those who want 2 know what it means: in general: she sings of the glory of our heroes of the the past and present. she begins by the phrase" a person who doesn't know his roots/background also would not know where he is destined to be in life". She mentions that she feels the presence of these superheroes everywhere she goes- she mentions their names: Nelson Mandela, Walter Sisulu, Helen Joseph, Lilian Ngoyi and many others ( these are known best in our politics-).

      Sibamba ngazo zozibini Neliswani Mthokozisi kaloku izandla ziyahlambana. Nangona wophule imithetho yesiXhosa (ngoba asitolikwa) kodwa siyakuxolela... ngoba kaloku umyalezo to emancipate the minds & sing praises of our forefathers/current heroes & heroines!
      If we don't appreciate them then who will?

    I came here by accident and never heared of this artist cause its not really my genre. But, her voice bound me here and i listened. beautifull. Must say though maybe make a cd with raw music like this? personally i think this sounds better then the official videoclip. keep it up !!
