- Excerpt from the movie "Zulu". The zulu warriors sing to honor those who'll be killed in the coming battle. They dignify there enemies.
Here it is in better quality:
• Zulu - Song of the war...
That's one of the most beautiful harmonies I've ever heard.
Right?! 💖
Well, they've got a very good bass section mind, but no top-tenors, that's for sure.
Beautiful and menacing.
@@rjwilson18 tenors reduce testosterone levels of intimidation... 🤣
THE KISS OF DEATH 🤣👍🏾
Best movie I seen when I was a young boy, taking my grandpa white hard hat to be a soldier and my grandma making me a Zulu shield. 40 yrs old and I still watching the movie. Love it always ❤
Listening to this chant, you can feel the power and the spirit of the Zulu people. What a proud people they are! What beautiful people they are!
Thank you, till this day we still hold our heads up high.
This is a psalm not a chant
@@lindokuhlenxumalo7821 ...respect vitejia poporului zulu .... luptători care nu cunoșteau teama ...
Beautiful and wonderful..❤❤
@@vasilebaia5718and got slaughtered 🤦♂️
The Zulus greatly respected bravery, they too were warriors and understood that facing a foe much larger than you and not giving up takes a lot of courage.
Imagine hearing this in person completely breathtaking
Rorke's drift 23 Jan 1879
By far the best zulu chant for me, it really grabs your soul no matter what race or creed you are, wish someone could recreate this with sharper sound
Here's a translation guys: I will try my best to put it in good English.
''Oh lord it is a pity that we have to spill blood, please forgive us lord (they are asking for forgiveness in advance),
We have no choice lord, we have to protect our land, we have to fight for our sons and daughters''
That's just a summary.
bollocks
Gugu Ngwenya Thanks for that. :)
damn, I could cry !
Trumblebee
why ?
Aιμιλιος Xαλεποπουλος i found the sentiment behind the song touching
This beautiful singing deserves to be recreated once more
@@Chris4563caqrikndd Narrow point of view, people protecting their land and existence.
This chant is one of the best I’ve ever heard, so intimidating, and also boosts testosterone levels.
Blasting this during a workout session will do wonders!
PURA MASCULINIDADE!!
GUERREIROS ZULUS:
VALENTIA!
HONRA!
CORAGEM!!

É O QUE FALTA PARA OS homens (?) De HOJE EM DIA!!

The fuck?
They sing like they draw their inspiration from an everlasting deep. They sing like God Himself! 💪😭🔥🔥🔥
2015 and still listening to this song ! That's so deep, and haunting, can't explain how I feel while listening this Zulu chant.
Same bro!!
If you have to work with these clowns for 20 years like I had to, it would get old for you as it does for me.
your hatred is getting old.
@@ax4178 clowns?
@@ax4178 then why are you here listening to them ultimate clown🤡 goh
I love the chant.. We Cam here to battle. Long live the Zulu. We are worriers ❤
"Who are these Zulus, who are these remarkable people who defeat our generals, convert our bishops and on this day have brought the end to a great dynasty."
~ British Prime Minister Benjamin Disraeli after hearing the news of the British defeat at Isandwana by the Zulus on January 22 1879
I noticed some of the greatest native empires Zulu and Maori have some of the best war chants and show respect to their enemies.
Better than the Roman Empire. The Roman's were evil in many ways they wiped out not only there enemies but there language writings art city's and histories everything! no honor at all
And they call the Zulu empire savages...😑
@@warlordqueekheadtaker7960 I never thought of romans like that but you have a point and I now see that it's just the propaganda from movies portraying them as great warriors...
@@warlordqueekheadtaker7960 What a sad, unfortunate truth.
And them there are the Spartans
And there's the Picts, and other Celtic tribes (iceni,Trilovantes and so on)...Boudicca was a Iceni Queen
I grew up with Zulus, I was nursed till 7 by a Zulu Family. I was taught the language, culture, and traditions. Zulus are the ultimate warriors. They even say "grace"for what they are about to kill
. Not many of you would have been in a Zulu Chant...the power is off the chart..you will literally s**t yourself if it is directed at you.
+Wade Allcock beaut
*Maid
yes mate..say it how it's is.. could you please suggest to me some songs for me please..much respect. .thank you.. there hard to find in England. blessed .
You mentioned that they "hire" a slave, meaning that you acknowledge the so called "slaves" are being paid for their work. That is not slavery, but employment. Everyone needs to make money to buy food and water. Everyone has a choice to where they want to be employed.
Haha have them come fuck with maori be a glorious battle of two great warrior cultures
yes at Rourke's Drift, the Brits were armed with Martini-Henrys, but druing the 1964 film Lee Enfields and Lee Metford rfiles were used by extras in the backround, due to the small amount of Martini-Henrys available
As an Englishman this really gets to me bravery on both sides much respect to all who fought 🇬🇧⚔
Holy shit that had to send a fucking chill down their spine when they heard that
Just the power of their of voice
None of this is real, it was scripted by your brothers and sisters about a people they wanted to control. The Zulu war cry was never this soft.
On behalf of India and Pakistan: 🖕🏽
Some people really need to check their mental state.
I love this song. So beautiful.
Just finished watching the movie.
Not sure everything is accurate but it’s clear whoever directed this film respected the Zulu tribe and tried his best to encapsulate their spirit and bravery.
I also like to think in real life the British who are famously arrogant, found some new respect for the Zulu after this ordeal.
It’s a beautiful and powerful harmony, to finish off a true cinematic masterpiece.
I think you will find Stanley Baker had a huge involvement in the making of this movie and in my opinion was probably one of the greatest action films of all time.
reaches into the very soul, of every one with the blood of the oppressed running in their veins. As an Irishman it inspires💪🏻💚
Cinematic perfection. A film of great importance and significance. Far ahead of it's time and tragically underrated.
I’m African American, their voices, harmonies, and tones are a thousand percent identical to the old male deacons(African American) who would sing in my family(maternal) church I heard growing up in the country side of South Carolina (in the USA). I’m sure it’s because the Zulu are a Bantu ethnic group, and a portion of the African American gene pool is from among the Bantu peoples of Central Africa: Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea, Gabon, the Republic of the Congo, the Democratic Republic of the Congo & Angola, as well as Bantu ethnic groups in Southeastern Africa, Mozambique & Zimbabwe. Added to the fact, all of them being such an interconnected, interrelated family, whether in Central, Eastern, or Southern Africa, linguistically, culturally, & genetically.
You missed Nigeria 🤔🕵️
@@jimmyohara2601 My focus was Central Africa, since its the largest region which African Americans share Bantu ancestry. Nigeria would be the only region in West Africa, where African Americans would share some Bantu ancestry among the few Bantu groups the country has in its South.
Bantu group is pretty much found all over africa. Being bantu is genetic not a tribe. However african americans can never trace their ancestry to southern africa.
A memorable scene from a memorable film.
The sound of the Zulus sends a tingle up your spine. It must have been terrifying.
So insanely beautiful and powerful.
Probably one of the best hymms of my people by my people
Came to find this song after seeing it on Twitter, after the passing of king Zwelithini, may he rest in peace.
Just finished my first time watching the movie.....and this is absolutely haunting. Just beautiful beyond measure.
i get goosebumps listening to this,so moving
The singing's great, taken from Chief Buthelezi's mother. Buthelezi was Zulu Chief when the movie was made, he played his ancestor Cetchwayo. His mother turned Cy Enfield on to the Zulu music he and Stanley Baker were looking for. I like the girls' singing during the marriage ceremony.
That's just personal taste.
Now I read somewhere in the comments section that's actually the voice of Chief Buthelezi , if so, I now understand why they didn't give him a camera shot of him out in front singing and leading the attack Because he was already cast playing a different role.
actually had this while lifting weights.
had me ready
For a brief moment, I felt like I was there. I was scared shitless. I felt death sing for me and it sang with joy. That scared me the most.
This song always struck my heart more than the reply with "Men of Harlech"
Favorite part of the movie ❤
Just sends chills down your spines
This is the second song. the first song is one of aggression and revelling in the shaughter to come, and is a song of arrogance and pride. This second song is a song of regret, that such adversaries, who have proven themselves worthy, mst die, and that it will take many casualties on the Zulu side to accomplish the victory. The third and last song is a song of honor and a salute to an enemy that has proven himself so brave, and so strong, that it would be not only a great shame to wipe out such men, but that casualties necessary to do so would not be worth the result, and so this adversary is to be left in peace and great honor, as great as that of any Zulu.
Thank you for explaining this amazing sound. It is truly hair raising. It stirs the soul of any living being.
Hayden H Get a TRANSLATION of the Zulu song, and you will see that you are mistaken.
Thanks for the information. I think your version of the events has more of the ring of truth about it. To this day there are people who think the British were in India to "build infrastructure"! Yeah they were, but only to haul their swag to the harbor to sell it to some other market they had penetrated, probably by force of arms. Your line about forgetting is particularly scary. I'm certain the Chinese have not forgotten the western warships steaming up the river bombarding Chinese towns so they would be good boys.
Hayden H I have nothing to say as to what was 'actually ' sung at the battle, only what was sung for this film. Perhaps it might be time to leave personal 'agendas' to one side. Yes?
In any case the sound is so tuned to the soul of mankind. It is the main reason I watch this film. I think you two, Eric and Hayden, would be better off being friends.
It is so powerful and haunting... words can barely describe it.
This is exactly why I believe it was Africans who created modern popular music today We can trace back the Blue's, Country music, Blue Grass, Jazz, Rock N Roll, Motown, R&B, Hip Hop, Rap, Classic Rock, Punk Rock Salsa, Cumbias, Merengue, Hard Rock, Delta Blues, Texas Rock, Country Rock, Doo Wop, Funk, Reggae pretty much everything ( except for classical, opera and various local folk music) to chants just like this one. They brought these beautiful chants to the new world and as they worked as the stories go they would chant in unison, all day every day ( which probably lifted their spirits from that F@cked up situation they were in ) which evolved to the Mississippi Delta Blues and from here it spread out to the rest of the country by these Bluesman or Rambling man as they were called. The 12 bar blues is the musical foundation of most modern and popular music. These nameless poor people sung so beautifully that it echoed around the world, louder than the conditions they found themselves in for a world still hears them through the music we all listen to today.
damn right brother
Amazing !.. These cultures shouldn't be lost by any means.
To all those hating on the British one thing you can't ever say about us. Is that we are cowards & that we don't respect our enemies. The Zulu warriors are seen as fantastic brave men by the British still to this day. How many of you hating on us can say those things. You see we don't get hated on by people's of other great brave nations just the easily defeated ones. Which admittedly us quite a lot. So stop being sore losers that was your biggest problem in the 1st place & before the Americans get all above themselves you beat 5,000 soldiers on home turf with the help of 7,500 French soldiers helping you. Our main forces were in the Asian continent. We proved how easy it would be to take your country back by sailing up to near the White House then marching right up to the white House & burnt it to a crisp & not a single one of yous done anything. We also told yous to keep away from Canada & don't go crossing that border again. To this day you still won't do it & that is yet another fact yous don't get taught about in your fantasy land. You've had thoughts about it & where thinking about trying before WW2 but you knew our Navy would have destroyed you so you thought better of it. It's great education isn't it.
Immediately chills, goose bumps... that feeling of your stomach dropping out like on a roller coaster- ready to die
proud to be african ,proud of a Bantu !!!my culture firstly
There were few times in history where technology was so one sided that a relatively small group could so overwhelmingly inflict casualties on a vastly superior (numerically) opposing force. The .303 was a very deadly weapon in the right hands...
THE MAIN POINT: These Zulus knew they were headed to almost certain death as they ran across the field of fire. But still they ran.
a point that is often overlooked. they fought and died for their homeland.
Zulu men that died for me id like to say I aim to return to the planet to do gods work which is evil
Saw this movie in 2001. Had to look this up to make sure I wasn't just making memories up in my head
Amazin! Cant stop listnin to this incredible chant.
Let us not forget the cultures of all!
@GRACEORT Thanks for the family history. Many people don't know the Zulu war(s) did not finally end until 1906 with the War of The Heads.
look at the faces of the British soldiers they look like they need of some strong tea from the queen
The utter terror this would instill listening to this if you were their adversary. Make peace with your God's because the Zulu are coming
One of my Top Five Movies of All Time!
I got chills from this!
Amazing moment. Makes my hair stand on end!!!!
These wonderful people are true legends
Aye the Zulus were brave.
Highly recommended movie.
I remember watching this film when I was younger and this song messed with my mind. powerful stuff
Had you wanting to be umZulu 😄....
Damn
That dude has a set of lungs on him!!
definitely, i would be absolutely terrified. That singing for them would probably be pretty scary for them, when will they have heard anything like it.
It's funny that the British are intimidated by the song, but the Zulu's are really showing them respect. A similar thing happened when the Zulu's would slit the dead British soldiers' stomachs open to let their spirits out.
If I were the enemy of the Zulu after hearing them sing this song, I would say to myself "i know im about to die I can feel it in that song!"
they where lions who walked upright. both sides courage abounds from both sides
ryan gonzalez WHAT YOU WRITE IS SO TRUE AND WELL WRITTEN!!!!!!!!!!
@Ngobamakosi You are welcome. It gets my back up when people comment without foundation. I have great respect fro the Zulu and have read many books on them and their history. My Fathers Grandad was a Color Sergeant in the British Army back in the late 1800s and in 1888 served in the then Zululand. Not a lot of people know their history but in that year there was another uprising by the Zulu and the British sent out many troops to quell it, my Fathers Grandad was one of them. The Zulu facinate me
This gives me goosebumps every time absolutely amazing these guys are the real deal 👍
For someone who understands the true brutality of war. Standing in front of this I would have to consider myself dead to get out of there alive!!
I cant believe there is no more info about this Chant. I cant find recorded anywhere. Ill see if the human museum of mankind has something about it... We need to save this song. Must be remastered or something!!!
It is a beautiful war chant. No one could fore see what was about to happen.
@blaklagoon1. No problem Shaka was the zulu warrior who invented the asagi (short spear) and the bullhorn tactic where the main body of infantry attacks the opposition and the flanks encircle. This is what he tactically brought to the zulus. The bull horn tactic was used effectively in rorkes drift and isandalwanah. The tatic is studied and used by most military forces in modern militaries.
Watch Shaka zulu for confirmation
I root for the Zulus...
Listening to this to get some courage
I wish you had included the overlay of the British singing over the warriors singing. That was powerful. But glad to find this at all. I looked on the soundtrack first also.
In the film Zulu Dawn, the end credits have a very powerful song as the credits roll past. Several minutes, worth listening to. Oh, they are here under Zulu Dawn End Credits. Give it a listen.
@Ngobamakosi Yes, many just think or Rhorkes Drift and Islandwana but after research there were quite a few small battles in which we usually lost, the Zulu even had the main remnant of the 1st invasive force holed up in a makeshift fort for some months in which our troops nearly starved or were gradually dying of disease. Not until the 2nd much larger force came to the rescue in England did things turn around. When you read what size the English force was that then marched toward the..... Cont.

ZULUS WARRIORS AND ENGLISH SOLDIERS!! EXAMPLE OF MASCULITY, HONOR, BRAVOR!! EMBRACE MASCULINITY REJECT MODERNITY
Absolutely chilling. But they have top tenors that’s for sure.
Give me the chills .. I love it
I have long wished to see a transcript of the lyrics, and translation of meaning. for this, and their song as they depart. I have not yet found such a record.
This is how i get ready for trial !
Always thought this was a beautiful song.
^^ love it
GUERREIROS ZULUS E SOLDADOS INGLESES!!
EXEMPLO DE MASCULIDADE, HONRA, BRAVURA!!
ABRAÇE A MASCULINIDADE REJEITE A MODERNIDADE
@mlafrt I used to room with a philosophy student who did a lot of reading about how war used to be waged. Some cultures, like the ancient Greeks, decided conflicts through very organized battles. People still died, and we think "how silly to die that way!", but in many respects she felt it was more civilized. In that kind of warfare, civilians were rarely killed. Now, the POINT of warfare is to kill civilians. I think some from the past might be shocked to learn there AREN'T rules to war
These chants are magic: haunting, sombre and respectful all in one
@Scooter7891 yes these are genuine zulu war chants that are passed from generation to generation. the zulu were known for using this phsycologica; tactic of instilling fear in enemies first before they attacked. The whole zulu war machine was built on intimidation through singing, shield beating and stamping the feat accompanied by extremely deep voiced war jeers and chants.
I just love it. I love Africa, I love the zulu people. Xhosa..its something special that can't be matched
Johnny Clegg felt the same. He married a Zulu and was accepted among them. His love for the Zulu ran deep.
Something the Brits did have was great courage! (And beautiful uniforms).
and guns.
Ollie oh yes I totally Agree, these turn of the century uniforms were great
@KL437 The .303 was indeed a man-killer. As was the .577/450 Boxer-Henry, the rounds used during the Anglo-Zulu war.
when i hear this , my hair goes up right away ! Hudge respect for Zulu Nation ! true warriors !
MY 6TH GRADE CAMP TEACHER TRAVELLED ALL THE WAY TO AFRICA TO BECOME A ZULU. HE SAVED THE ZULU KING BY TAKING A SPEAR IN THE EYE AND A SPEAR IN THE ARM. THIS MAN IS A HERO!!!!!
r/thathappened
I think in this example......even though this exchange of songs didn't happen during any part of the assault on Rourke's's Drift.....if the man standing next to me shit himself at the sight of that, I'd be fine with it, because on the wrong day, I'd shit myself as well if that was the first thing I saw/heard at dawn. It's a hellva way to conduct psychological warfare
God damn that would some super erie intense shit to hear before a battle.
I get ptsd from the movie when i hear this, its terifying
What, were you in Rorke's Drift or something?
It was not designed to scare the british. it was to honour those that had died. as we know, the british were scared, but the thin red line of heroes held their ground.
@potnoodle12 many Zulus were employed as extras and stuntmen in the film and the Zulu King was played by Chief Buthelezi
They worked out if they doused their shields in water bullets could be blocked, they had a great General/King, I am not sure how many VC's were handed out for this Battle of Rourkes Drift/Landing,but many were.Even the Zulu's were impressed,hence the warrior chant.
Mark mlafrt the most Victoria cross every give out in war by the British in any war till today 2017 check it out that's said much about the zullus same they didn't have a waepons like the British
Oh, what I'd give for the soundtrack...
i frikin love this song! :)
Big up to my great grand-dad
this is amazing , I neeed to watch this movie
@slideharp1 ...What impressed me the most was how when the British government was unwilling to go in officially, British companies would rush in. Many thought the example of the British East India company could be followed in Africa.
I was well aware of Rhodes' charter in southern Africa, but had wondered how the UK ended up with Uganda, Nigeria, etc. Profits were private, risks were public; that is, I pocket any profit, but if things get bad I expect the government to send in troops.
Is this real Zulu chant. Because it's beutiful, hypnotic hypnotic almost. Must've scared the British big time if this is genuine.
When ive just saw the movie i tried to find the soundtrackbut Never got it tll YT. At Last.
