“We are all tributaries of that great river of pain” ~ Stimela - A good song always outlives its writer and singer - Legends of music - we salute you Ntate Ray & Ntate Coyote - You music lives forever
Stimela wasnt music , it was a style , a revolution of black who decided to speak truth to society thru music and using jazz as the medium , it gave relief to tired sould and meaning to human endengared blacks walloping from identify crisis of being either a black patriotic or a black jazz enlighted person
I am from Mozambique and i always liked all the music produced and made in the bad time off the racial segregation. Stimela Band is one of themes, i love this music. Rip Ray Phiri.
Stimela is my band. I was so lucky in my age, I managed to see that dance from Ray Phiri. I know young heroes would have love to see the praying mentist
Eish i love old songs all heartedly, other day i visit my nabour he asked me to download old songs for him when i was busy searching i meet with this song called istimela he asked me to play for him ,woooow i think this song was made under the influence of emotions because after you hear this song ,definitely you will feel you were there during difficult imtimes
I love the music of my people. These are the songs that played in my house growing up so when I hear this music my heart smiles. My soul rejoices. Makes me feel rejuvenated. Thank you Stimela for reminding us how beautiful we African people are.
The level of South African music at some rank has depreciated, this is in my opinion that music is done by AI keyboards. These musicians were on another level that is why today only few musicians can successfully stage live shows. I studied at Dorkay House Eloff Street, music professionalism was so advanced at a reasonable amount.
These are tracks that make me a proud south african. In spite of all we went through. We were able to create our own world where we can be happy. Nobody can take that away from us...
Crazy how it brings back all the memories from childhood, my father used to play this album to a point where I started to love it too. RIP JWARHA you're dearly missed
Music was music that time old school is the best today's music you listen only two days than it started to get bored those were the Legends im still having a cassette which i was given by my uncle. Namibia 🇳🇦
Music is just universal language and it connect all the hearts together , I remember my days High School days , when i listen to this music its sound like yesterday.....
No matter how poor your country is make sure you go back home before you die Such Music gives us hope that Africa will always be our home our beginning and our ending regardless of the circumstances.
