Wow guys, I couldn't love this more!!! I'm a singer in Scotland learning Ndikhokhele Bawo (a simple version!) to teach to some people in my community as I believe singing in different languages actually helps to free up beginners with singing. Well that's been my experience. Hope it's OK for Scottish people to be learning a South African hymn, I just admire your style of singing so much and this song is so so beautiful. The way you guys perform it together is unique and your voices are stunning. I love it, thank you and keep going! ❤🎉❤
This gospel song reflects a feeling of gratitude and faith in God and what He does in our life path. I hope the translation helps you understand better: Ndikhokhele Bawo, zundi kokhele (Lead me oh Father [Lead me]) Ndikhokhele mmeli wami (Lead me my savior) Ezintsizini, Zalomhlaba Bawo (in all the sorrows of this world Father) (Bawo, Bawo, Bawo) ( Father, Father, Father) Bawo ndiyabonga (Father I thank you) Ngoba wena usandigcinile (for you still protect/keep me) Thaluthele thuze kwami (You calm all my fears) (Bawo, bawo, bawo) ( Father, Father, Father) Bawo ndiyabonga (Father I thank you) Ngoba wena usandigcinile (for you still protect me) Mmeli wami bawo uthaluthele thuze kwami (Father, Savior, you calm my fears) Bawo ndiyabonga (Father I thank you) Ngoba wena usandigcinile (for you still protect me)
Awesome 👍. Next time this will be better with the lyrics written and if possible the translation too. That way you get to reach far more people. May God uphold you guys; in Jesus'Mighty Name. Amen.
The accented sounds made during loo loos and other times, intrigued me. When do you all learn it? Are you taught that from childhood or community at an early age? I am an American descendant of Africans kidnapped into slavery hundreds of years ago. I am a singer also.
Their singing was very lovely indeed, however, they would not be able to answer your question regarding the sounds made during the loo loos because this is a South African (Mzansi) song sung in Xhosa, one of the many colourful languages of Mzansi, but these singers are not South African. This is easily discernible by someone who can speak and understand Xhosa and a similar language, Zulu and Ndebele from the next door neighbouring country, Zimbabwe. They were obviously inspired to remake the sounds and composition of this song from a different video by Wits University in South Africa, but they tried to make it their own a little. In the original video, they make all these lovely sounds we sometimes make when we are happy or celebrating. This is the original video they copied ruclips.net/user/results?search_query=ndikhokhele+bawo+ In case you're interested to know, this song is based on Psalm 23. It basically translates to: Lead me father (Ndikhokhele bawo, zundi kokhele) Lead me my saviour (Ndikhokhele mmeli wami) In the sorrows of this world, Father (Ezintsizini, zalomhlaba bawo) Father, Father, Father (Bawo, Bawo, Bawo) Father I thank you (Bawo ndiyabonga) Because you still protect/keep me (Ngoba wena usandigcinile) You are always close to me (Uhlal'uhlele duze kwami) Father I thank you (Bawo ndiyabonga) Because you still protect/keep me (Ngoba wena usandigcinile)
Wow thank you so much for explaining and sharing the interpretation. I want to learn more of the praises from the cradle of civilization. Africa is rich with the foundation of our very existence. To God be the glory in Jesus' name 🙏🏼❤️
It’s engrained in South African culture and in several of their languages including the click sounds. Although you are an American of African descent, this would not have been a part of your ancestors heritage, language, or phonetics. You’re of West African origin as that is where trans Atlantic slavery primarily took place with the furthest extending to central Africa (Congo and Angola but those people were taken to Brazil mostly). However most West Africans have their own intonations that are very interesting and intriguing to learn. It’s just a part of the culture from childhood. Hope this helps ❤
Song and dance in Africa starts when we are in the womb our mothers dancing n singing.. When we are born the rythm contunes whilst our mothers carry us on their backs.. Before taking our first steps its dance and it goes on all through our lives.. Celebrating, wedding, party, church, funerals.. All is a Celebration of Life!! ❤🎉😂

Befitting analysis. Trying to create something like that in Uganda. We could do with benchmarking
There's prayers , meditation, lucid dreaming,...
And there's this...
Walai!

Too perfect to hit that South African accent.
Very very Brilliant!!
The soloist was out of this world 😍😍😍

I hope the translation helps you understand better:
Ndikhokhele Bawo, zundi kokhele (Lead me oh Father [Lead me])
Ndikhokhele mmeli wami (Lead me my savior)
Ezintsizini, Zalomhlaba Bawo (in all the sorrows of this world Father)
(Bawo, Bawo, Bawo) ( Father, Father, Father)
Bawo ndiyabonga (Father I thank you)
Ngoba wena usandigcinile (for you still protect/keep me)
Thaluthele thuze kwami (You calm all my fears)
(Bawo, bawo, bawo) ( Father, Father, Father)
Bawo ndiyabonga (Father I thank you)
Ngoba wena usandigcinile (for you still protect me)
Mmeli wami bawo uthaluthele thuze kwami (Father, Savior, you calm my fears)
Bawo ndiyabonga (Father I thank you)
Ngoba wena usandigcinile (for you still protect me)
Bandihambisa umzimba abantwana bam. Thixo ababusise nge voice zabo❤❤ I love them all❤❤
Entrancing harmony! It's the ululating for me!
There's no way Bawo will not guide y'all asking Him like that. You guys left no crumbs. ❤❤❤
The joy of singing is evident on the faces of these skilled singers. Well done!
Awesome 👍. Next time this will be better with the lyrics written and if possible the translation too. That way you get to reach far more people. May God uphold you guys; in Jesus'Mighty Name. Amen.
