back then, as a small kid in Kenya, we had a programme called 'music time' that aired on our national broadcaster. the presenter was one Fred Obachi Machokaa and boy, we wdnt call it a day if this song (plus 'we miss u manelo' and 'i need some money') ddnt play. we wd get dwn and try to do the 'mapantsula' dance too! to date (20somethn yrs later), i still haven't mastered the dance!! these were music that united Africa. i miss those days. much love from Kenya Chicco!! shout out to my SA peeps!
khamis athman oooooh those days. I actually have done a sample from his some I need some money. I hope it will bring back that vibe when I release it sometime next yeah if we are all alive and kicking inshallah
If you searched for this song it doesn't matter about your age, but know that you have a unique instinct in terms of music spirituality,, you understand the worth of happiness in African music,,chicco you were a blessing indeed 🙏
How does listening to old South Africa music put me in a space where I think I’ve grown up in South Africa and I’ve never been to South Africa. I’m from Zambia and the nostalgia of listening to South African oldies is just gold I feel like crying . Wishing I was born in that era
Visit South Africa, though things have changed, nothing ever stays the same I guess. We are blesses to have this kind of music growing up, It takes me way back.😊
In Nigeria, my dad would play these songs along with chimora, Yvonne chaka chaka and Hugh Masekela while my sister and i rocked to it. Great, sweet memories.
Meanwhile,some of us were enjoying the likes of Prince Nico Mbarga,Les Wanyika and Franco Luambo. It’s funny as I remember,our parties were heavily influenced by west African music along with our danshiki silhouettes.
27 April 2024 I'm here, do listen to Brenda Fassie my black president and Johnny Clegg an Siyavuka asmbomanga, today sharing the music history with my children on this freedom day ❤
Ohk Chicco reminds me of my youth days, early 90s when South Africa was still peaceful country. When ladies were still dress with dignity not what we see today
OMG! Tribute to my Mom! Every birthday she would make sure she played this song! Good memories, it just hit me that growing up in the 90s in Nairobi was a blessing in its own right!
You can listen this song over and over, you dont get tired of it - just listen to the beat! Imagine oneself on the long trip with the one you love and, eish!
I remember back in the days when l was seven years old , dancing to this classic , Chicco Twala has been owning the game Missing the glory days ,watching this video from my apartment in Russia, I will be back home South Africa
I feel crying, Thank you so much God for keeping me alive. I'm here with you in 2019.when I had this song in 1988 I could start dancing and daddy tell stop and do the work and go to school.
My father was working in Gauteng, he used to come with his songs and this was one of my favorite songs back in early 2000🤞i really miss those days and my father's soul may continue to rest in peace❤🕊
Reminds me of my Late Uncle Eric, I miss him sorely 😭 I especially miss how proud to be black he was and how he used to gather all of us as children and made us sing and dance to such beautiful songs with so much positivity ❤
Welcome on board chicco twala here in central Kenya,we listened and remember your sweet music that used to play in our national radio in those hey days through our legend dj John karani. Hongera chicco.
A trend setter indeed in his times, Abuti Chico was the first to rock " Chico style" haircut and him and Abuti Senyaka were the first to rock " Fishtail " haircut(the one he has on this video)... He loved children and was one who featured the talented Mandla " Spikiri " as a dancer on one his videos giving him a platform to showcase...
Been in South Africa for 18 years, never heard this song since my childhood in Congo and to read from the comments, this was a hit in many other African countries.
I was eight when this video played ..still enjoy the video and the kid in red just kills it .. Simple lyrics no swearing and sex talks ..Gone are those days..
Nice to see the old Johannesburg vehicle registration plates, similar to that from Botswana and shared with us by the British. The British have kept the same system of a yellow back plate and a white front one.
A breed of 80s no twitter,wasup just music and this was a big hit in kenya,and if you listened to this in 80s man you are a quality vintage,music time show on kbc sanyo tv sanyo radio and radio cassette,love from kenya
Reading all these comments on various African Golden Oldies music channels makes one realize that Africa is one. Just a shame that we can not work together to make it GREAT. Let's make African Great Again as it is supposed to be.
Indeed as an East African, this song made our childhood during the middle of the 1980s. For me coming from a war torn Northern Uganda this gave the only happiness then. Great memory although it was hard times.
Love looking for new African music, so far, EVERY song I LOVE IS South Africa music. hmmm Talent out there I see!!! I love the sound of that instrument he's playing and the kids and the dancing, YES!!!
I wish i could get comments from the 2 masters with caps dancing and just here how they felt dancing to this tune in early 80s they are champions there moves in dancing are killer ones,chicco we miss you where are you.
im 22 nd these songs still drive me of the walls, the ideal to this songs Captured our minds in a way of life our way of living in africa it had somethings to do with the way of African way of Nature the Rythem of African So sweet
I am 52 yrs of age but still ,I can tell you it was days our parents sleep peaceful when we where out in the street's of katutura dancing on this South African beats,today I am a born again but still I have days that I go back to my oldies of South Africa the only good music for Namibians we learn every thing bad and good from that country ,God bless us all and protect our young ones nowadays on streets cause lady also kill and steal kids
Black Gold sampled this joint and they created a smash 🔥 back in 2010. I used to bump that song almost eveyday. Cant believe that was 14 years ago. Damn.....
Wau.the young junior Chico in red.father like son.memories will never die.nice times ti be remembered. My elder brother favourite songs.Rip brother.you were humble and star of south African music .
Watching in 2018. Memories of Nairobi growing up watching Fred ombachi machoka on music time, on our black n white Toshiba TV... Such an innocent time. Kids today are born immune to watching & enjoying stuff like this. They dont even know how to play outside wuthout ANY ELECTRONIC DEVICES. Such a shame. Im glad im a child of the 80's 💃💃💃✌👋
Kwani watu hawajaelewa this comment?the owner meant the song brought memories of his childhood days growing up in Nairobi. I also remember growing up with these songs on music time. Wakalelu and obachi machoka. Good old times when music was really music
i just realised why we all liked these songs as africans..south africans went through so much and music is the only thing that kept them happy plus kept them close to their roots..so they created wonderful african music
This is the BEST Video I have ever seen with kids in it...the rhythmic dancing and sweet song from the artist is really amazing. Shows that even Kids have real talents.
Wow! Indeed the chicco & children displayed their talent, I imagine all the children are grown up adults now coz I 1st heard that song more than 25 years ago when I was a little child ike some of those little children in the video. Good memories indeed.
I used to love and admire this man. His contribution to the South African music industry is immeasurable and thanks to my parents I was exposed to great quality music from a young age (I'm a born free, 1994) but after what his son Longwe did, robbing the nation of our number one goalkeeper Senzo Robert Meyiwa and how they both contradicted themselves on national radio and are yet to be arrested for murder and defeating ends of justice, bo sefane mperekele, I have lost respect for him. Maybe one day justice will prevail for Nzori
This song reminds me of my mother. Not one christmas has gone by without us playing this song. I hope i get to spend many more christmas' with the queen of my heart

The beat as I'm listening
Listening to this song is like travelling back in time .. amazing work done by pioneering African Musicians ...thank you Chicco.
South Africa is a great country, irrespective of our challenges.
Grew up in the late 1980s in Botswana vaguely remembering hearing such songs
It's almost impossible not to be overwhelmed by emotions when listening to this song.
When music was original and touched people's lives. man! artists of today can learn a lot from our legends.
This song was a hit in my homeland Kenya. I love Chicco.

Old music from South Africa was a real deal love from Uganda 🇺🇬🇺🇬🇺🇬

2024 December and im still dancing to this song. A true classic
I used to love and admire this man. His contribution to the South African music industry is immeasurable and thanks to my parents I was exposed to great quality music from a young age (I'm a born free, 1994) but after what his son Longwe did, robbing the nation of our number one goalkeeper Senzo Robert Meyiwa and how they both contradicted themselves on national radio and are yet to be arrested for murder and defeating ends of justice, bo sefane mperekele, I have lost respect for him. Maybe one day justice will prevail for Nzori
Moving around the stage looking for young Children.
Thanks for your posting. You are right, with your point of view and motivation we could improve the world. Your Brother from North Europe...
This song reminds me of my mother. Not one christmas has gone by without us playing this song.
