    Meaning of the songs. for English speakers
    1.Nizalwa Ngobani? (who gave birth to you?) have you forgotten that you are born of warriors?
    2.Ingoma (The Song) its a love song, praising her lover that is like that good song that plays through the night, and she doesn't care what anyone says.
    3.Children of the soil. self explanatory
    4.Abenguni. ( Abenguni is subgroup of Bantu including me) the song speaks of not being alone but being a part of the whole Abenguni. i love it
    5.Lahl'umlenze (throw the leg 🤪/ means Dance) its a celebration song about black pride.
    Ningandi jaji i tried lol.

      The Grammy is so complicated , it plays dirty, some good artists don't have even one but the Grammy doesn't own good music , as long an artist loves what he or she is doing , the Grammy is nothing , music cannot be determined by a Grammy , some artists are put down because they don't have a Grammy , artists should be left to fly without thinking about the Grammy ❤❤ let her fly high because we know she doesn't need a Grammy to be great❤❤❤❤

      That's exactly what happened to me. I was at my desk and the subtitles were on and I was able to understand what she was saying and it was so impact-full.. I felt deeply connect to my African spiritual roots and somehow something shifted in me..like a stronger urge to make my ancestors proud. I am a singer songwriter as well.💚💚💚 (Naomie 'Ngozi' Grandison")
