Thandiswa Mazwai: Tiny Desk x globalFEST
Музыка
In 2021, the Tiny Desk x globalFEST series was created to promote international music discovery. For the last three years, artists from around the globe have performed Tiny Desk (home) concerts from their respective countries, but for the first time this year, artists performed at the Tiny Desk at NPR's headquarters.
Suraya Mohamed | April 1, 2024
Thandiswa Mazwai is one of post-apartheid South Africa's most influential musicians. For nearly 30 years she has championed a kind of dance music called Kwaito. The South African genre mixes a variety of rhythms and influences including hip-hop, reggae, jazz and house music.
This phenomenal set starts with “Nizalwa Ngobani?”, translated from the Xhosa language for “Do you know where you come from?” It’s dedicated to the ever-resilient people of South Africa. “I want to say to my people at home, thank you,” she says. “I am known worldwide because of you.” After, she sings a love song, “Ingoma” with the memorable hook “Ngoma we, ngoma we, ngoma we,” which loosely translates to “You are a song that I never get tired of.”
She dedicates the next song, “Children of the Soil,” to all the people around the world who find themselves struggling for freedom. “This is our time to use our voices,” she affirms. “This is the time for us to fight for freedom, wherever it is in the world.” “Children of the Soil” will be featured on her soon-to-be-released new album, Sankofa. And she finishes this set with the powerful “Abenguni,” and the catchy upbeat tune “Lahl’umlenze,” with its resilient hook: “Why does it matter how I dance?”

@simphiwinkosindaba1036 yes I know exactly what the diaspora is, mme Thandiswa is a South African woman o dulang mo South Africa unless she has moved abroad in recent years and I am unaware.
Thandiswa sings about African unity and wena you still like "Rise South Africa" , she's our African pride. She says exactly what CIC says but you don't want to listen mxm
Yes girl!!! Fellow South African marking attendance ✊
Thandiswa gained a new fan from Germany! Thanks NPR.
Fellows SAns, lets get this historic moment to 1M views before the week ends❤🎉 I'm so proud of King Tha🇿🇦🇿🇦

South Africa is music, no one make it like us I don't care what anyone says.🤞🤞...you can take 5 random South Africans give them trash cans and broom sticks they would put together some of the best sounding music you will hear 🤞🤞
Let's get this to a million views! South Africans niphi?
The fact that I know each and every song she performed here it means I’m a fan.. I love this lady.
