It is a South African wedding song that was originally performed by: Miriam Makeba *live in1963. copy & paste to see video> ruclips.net/video/rjo8h5qLpU0/видео.html
Igqira lendlela nguqo ngqothwane The road’s witchdoctor is the knocking beetle Igqirha lendlela kuthwa nguqo ngqothwane The witchdoctor of the road is said to be the knocking beetle Seleqabele gqi thapha nguqo ngqothwane He has passed by up the steep hill, the knocking beetle Selequbule gqi thapha nguqo ngqothwane He did pass by up the steep hill, the knocking beetle
We people are used to cheering and clapping 😂😂😂😂. When these people respect her performance and want to hear every single word. The control on her voice is sooooo magical. Goosebumps all over.
She got a standing ovation in America so I'm guessing they feel she's being disrespected. I get it but silence isn't always meant as a negative gesture. Sometimes it is of the utmost respect. Like tasting something for the first time and savoring the EXPERIENCE. The end reaction was the honest one.
People complaining about the dead audience, and I'm just here glad to finally be able to enjoy a stage performance without the annoying crowd reactions ruining the flow.
So grateful for the respectful audience - no clapping or cheering during Siki Jo-An's performance - respect other people's culture - not everyone needs to be noisily cheering to acknowledge a great performance. Love that song & so love Siki Jo-An
The soul cannot bask fully in the blessing being endowed if people are making noise. The audience is not dead, it is truly appreciative of a voice straight from heaven.
I just discovered Miriam Makeba and her click song that she sang back in the 60s learned about her activism in South Africa against apartheid and how they banned her from her country and she couldn't even go to her own Mother's funeral what a beautiful woman oh my goodness the things that she had to go through is just unbelievable. I wish they would teach these things in our kids school so that we could look up to these people as Heroes and find examples of ways that we should be in our own lives how we should respect others and stand up for what is right and that's what she did she was known way more than just for the click song she was a hero!!!
Right, just ridiculous, doesn't know true and beautiful music when its heard. I know if I was there I wouldn't be sitting in that old chair just looking, because I would be up dancing and looking in amazement. Her voice and the language is awesome. Love it.
What a strange audience. I thought I was watching a sea of corpses. Mind you I did see one excited person clapping. Just to add she was magnificent.....loved her performance and I would deffo have been rocking it🥳.. UK.x
Miriam Makeba reached us on a little remote island called Molokai in Hawaii During the 60’s. I remember the clicking and thought this was a trip!! Awesome.
One thing I can say about the audience yeah they did look kind of mesmerized maybe people are looking at it the wrong way I know that if I paid the money to go there I'd want to hear every single sound she made and I would be upset if people were being loud and I couldn't hear her. Maybe that's what was going on because I know just watching it on screen I couldn't move she hypnotizes you it is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!
She is beyond amazing! Such as incredible energy and performance wasted on that souless audience. If I ever see Siki performing live. I will break my fingers applauding at the end of her show.
As a kid I listened to the original by Ms Miram Makeba being regularly played by my mom. I eventually in my 30's saw Ms Miriam perform on stage in Trinidad and Tobago. Even as a much more mature and seasoned performer by that time, she did not disappoint. That Siki Jo-an has offered this moving rendition of the Click Song, has made a fan of me all over again. I get the goosebumps all over again. Thank you Siki.
I am very happy to see all South Africa, all race and colour, in Harmony , doing things together, God Almight keep you and your country together, for ever in peace.
Guys they just turn the audiences audio down so you can hear her singing because that was a big complaint with her first prefomance it was beautiful but you couldn't hear it well and her voice deserved to be heard
Bloody hell, that audience what the actual hell. On another note! That was beautiful. I absolutely love her and this song. I never get enough of it. Always manages to give me goosebumps even though I don't understand it.
This audience was underserving! It is no homage at all to sit there with arms folded when such epic vibes pour out of the throat of a single performer. Ugh!!!! My apologies, Queen Siki
Dios mío como batalle para poder volver escuchar a esta mujer con una majestuosa voz mi piel se pone chinita nada más escucharla que tal si entendiera el idioma una raza estupenda en todos los sentidos😍😍
Unbelievable! Her voice and range are spectacular, but the true beauty is the energy she brings to belting out those words in her native tongue. It's artful! Makes me miss South Africa so deeply.
Absolutely speechless the song speaks volumes of history culture art and beauty and love and marriage! Also to the audience quite comments. In other countries I’m Europe,Africa, and South America it’s actually rude to cheer over the singer because they feel the art is supposed to be absorbed and then you can let out your feelings of admiration at the end! Sometime a cheer can last mins after a song has finished ! Anyway she is phenomenal and the Late Miss Makeba was a legend!
Siki Jo-An when a white girl become envious of a black woman, she looks like you and has your talent and radiance! You‘re BEAUTIFUL! 🥰 We want you to become a world wide star! A bit like Jerusalema.. Let the sunshine in! Bless you and thanks for your grace!
Of course the audience is in shock majority being White seeing an African Queen, confident, talented and powerful.... perform What is termed heavenly. You are a Goddess.. Gooo Queen,you make us all proud to be African. You make our ancestors proud. Love From Kenya
❤❤❤❤❤ im American i dont know what she is saying but i feel her spirit moving in me through this song cant stop listening to it just stumbled on this for the first time today shared alot of her videos on my stories.
It's great not to have the audience screaming over a performer's voice for a change. It's brilliant to be able to enjoy a performance without it! Thank god they respect the amazing sounds enough to actually listen!
Yeah! Alice from Canada. You remind me of a very nice Canadian lady who headed a company with such a good heart and looked out for the native employees in South Africa ❤
I thought people were being dramatic abt the stale audience until I heard her say “now sing” and not a peep. No one even TRIED that’s sad. I was singing along fr
Wondering why not a drum in sight … I’m from the Caribbean so drumming is at the heart of our music also … other instruments are great but if the drums are left out we say the music is empty or hollow!!!
I'm Jamaican I have no idea what she's singing but this song give me goose bumps...🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤

Same, Jamaican here and I am loving her perfornance 👏🏾👏🏾🙌🏾✊🏽
I also don‘t unterstand but Miriam Makeba did say It’s a wedding song
Igqira lendlela nguqo ngqothwane
The road’s witchdoctor is the knocking beetle
Igqirha lendlela kuthwa nguqo ngqothwane
The witchdoctor of the road is said to be the knocking beetle
Seleqabele gqi thapha nguqo ngqothwane
He has passed by up the steep hill, the knocking beetle
Selequbule gqi thapha nguqo ngqothwane
He did pass by up the steep hill, the knocking beetle
Its a wedding song ...
Xhosa is such a wonderful language. It was a pleasure to hear

They're mesmerized!
I told my daughter the same thing about another artist performance.I paid to enjoy a concert not rude people.
Yes!
I'm impacted when an Afrikaner speaking Xhosa... Beautiful 🇿🇦
Greetings from Latin America
From Ethiopia 🇪🇹 yor are amazing ❤
Black women, loud, proud and absolutely beautiful!!
Perioddd!!!
You just had to mention her skin color didn't you.
@@ioijiopjkiopjkp Yes! Because only Black women can sing in that language. And also only them have that sass.
@@alicegauteng2358 that's one of the most racist things I've heard. Congratulations on being a literal racist.
@@ioijiopjkiopjkp Why the Hell not...THAT IS WHAT SHE IS.. SEE IT, KNOW IT AND BOW DOWN TO THAT BEAUTY!!!
So grateful for the respectful audience - no clapping or cheering during Siki Jo-An's performance - respect other people's culture - not everyone needs to be noisily cheering to acknowledge a great performance. Love that song & so love Siki Jo-An

This stale ass audience just wasn’t hype enough for me or for her... she was delivering a whole ass performance. Go sis, GO!!
They were overwhelmed
Thank you! My thoughts exactly
Right, just ridiculous, doesn't know true and beautiful music when its heard. I know if I was there I wouldn't be sitting in that old chair just looking, because I would be up dancing and looking in amazement. Her voice and the language is awesome. Love it.
I was thinking the same... I was about to jump through my computer to be in that audience to enjoy the life she was giving me!!
I agree! She was magnificent… couldn’t believe the lame audience!
Love from Papua New Guinea🇵🇬 . When this lady sings she used to give me goosebumps. Powerful voice
She is unbelievable.
She is out of this world!
Awesome!
That crowd was total dead!
Right that audience was wack!!
they are so lost..DEAD..DEAD..to comfortable
True.
HAHAHA right!
What a strange audience. I thought I was watching a sea of corpses. Mind you I did see one excited person clapping. Just to add she was magnificent.....loved her performance and I would deffo have been rocking it🥳.. UK.x
What a powerful and yet trained voice. Appluase from Atlanta Ga, USA
She is amazingly bold and beautiful. Apart from Miriam Makeba I have never heard of anyone else brave enough to sing this difficult song!
It shoudn't be difficult to a xhosa.
It’s probably just difficult cause you don’t speak the language
Just search "click song" and you'll find plenty of people singing it. My favorite is a video from Beyond Zulu TV.
Miriam Makeba reached us on a little remote island called Molokai in Hawaii During the 60’s. I remember the clicking and thought this was a trip!! Awesome.
This made me so proud to be Xhosa, I love my language we take it for granted but it actually is kinda unique
This song make me happy and crying!!!
One thing I can say about the audience yeah they did look kind of mesmerized maybe people are looking at it the wrong way I know that if I paid the money to go there I'd want to hear every single sound she made and I would be upset if people were being loud and I couldn't hear her.

She is beyond amazing!
Such as incredible energy and performance wasted on that souless audience.
If I ever see Siki performing live. I will break my fingers applauding at the end of her show.
I really wish I could give more than one like... what an amazing performance by an amazing performer!
Sis over delivered for this audience
That was good
The kind song that speaks to your soul and you feel your ancestors. I understand why the audience is quiet ❤️
As a kid I listened to the original by Ms Miram Makeba being regularly played by my mom. I eventually in my 30's saw Ms Miriam perform on stage in Trinidad and Tobago.

I have rarely been so proud to be African. God bless you!!!
Chills, Bro. What a powerful presence she holds. So proud to be a South African

She makes me Proud to be a black South African woman. And I’m a white Scottish man

Yasss! She did that! From an African American to a South African!!!
There is no life in there do your thing Sisi. What a Majestic performance to the entire world. Wow. Extraordinary!

Ni falta que hace entenderla ,que vos, que vos ,se erisa la piel y faltan palabras
This audience was underserving! It is no homage at all to sit there with arms folded when such epic vibes pour out of the throat of a single performer. Ugh!!!! My apologies, Queen Siki

Very sorry for Miriam Makeba that is no more among us to appreciate this new generation's work on this click song. Amazing
She’s so beautiful 🤩
Hermosas. Beauty!! Muy lindooooo...👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽❤️❤️❤️🥰🥰
Amazing voice! Hats off! What a wonderful Diva of South Africa! Magnifique et bravo from France!

It's great not to have the audience screaming over a performer's voice for a change. It's brilliant to be able to enjoy a performance without it!
Thank god they respect the amazing sounds enough to actually listen!
The audience is like dead fish. They got more excited when the white guy was speaking broken Xhosa than the absolute amazing talent that followed
My excuse? I was in awe of her performance.
And all white audience
Yeah! Alice from Canada. You remind me of a very nice Canadian lady who headed a company with such a good heart and looked out for the native employees in South Africa ❤
WOW WOW WOW ! She is really fantastic !

If I try this, I'll end up with a sore tongue. You nailed it, sistah! 🔥🙌💓
I almost cut my tongue out
