Music from Africa Part 4: Shosholoza
I'm taking you to my home country South Africa for two songs in my series about music from Africa. The first song is Shosholoza, a Ndebele folk song that has become so popular in South Africa that it's often called the unofficial anthem.
The song originated with Ndebele men who used to travel by steam train from Zimbabwe to South Africa's gold mines. ("Sho sho" uses onomatopoeia to imitate the sound of a steam train.) It was usually sung in a call and response style: one man sang a solo line and the group responded by copying him.
It was also sung by prisoners, including South African President Nelson Mandela while doing hard labour in the prison on Robben Island. He described it as a song that compares the apartheid struggle to the motion of an oncoming train. According to him, the singing made the work lighter.
Nowadays it's mostly sung at sporting events to show solidarity. It was also used in the soundtrack of the movie Invictus, a 2009 biographical drama based on Mandela's life during the 1995 Rugby World Cup in South Africa. Which, may I add, we won.
Tomorrow: a song called Weeping.

Today my first article got published and it's so exciting to see my name printed in an important magazine, I'm almost hyperventilating!
It's about South Africa, by the way

This mashup is too long and unwieldy for vidding, and the idea is kind of tacky anyway considering the song is tied to important charity work and all...
...but I still canât help kind of wanting this for Mixen.
Of course, the joke would be lost on anyone whoâs not aware that GĂ€rdebylĂ„ten in the 50s was given new lyrics for a comedy about Genghis Khan, and has since been known as âHĂ€rjarevisanâ = âThe Pillager Songâ.
