    I've always found that the most powerful Zulu hymns are the most basic ones where very little is said. Just so beautiful.

      It's Zulu. Subtle differences.
      Zulu = Indodana
      Xhosa = Unyana
      Zulu = kaNkulunkulu
      Xhosa = kaThixo
      Zulu = Baba
      Xhosa = Bawo
      Zulu = Bayibethelela
      Xhosa = Bayixhomelela
      Unfortunately the people who arrange African music are not Africans and therefore may write and supply incorrect information.

      @@reetha_xmacholo8331 That is incorrect, this is Zulu which may sound the same as Xhosa to a non native speaker of either. @Sabelo Mthembu just provided concise explanation. In urban setting, it is normal for people to use the words of either language interchangeably while speaking either of the 2 languages. Urban Xhosa uses a lot of Zulu words as colloquial and vice versa.

    Actual meaning: "The Lord God has taken his son who dwelt among us. The son of God was crucified." So it is both a lament and a reason for sober thankgiving to Father God.

      It is not about the skill of the dancer - she is skilled at interpreting the music, but it is about the appropriateness of the song in general - this is a hymn about Jesus being crucified on the cross and his father taking him to heaven - not exactly a dance moment, even if she is trying to portray loss.

    • @kyra9202
      @kyra9202 5 лет назад +3

      Betty Ann German I understand and acknowledge your point Betty. I believe that the dancer is interpreting the loss of the people who followed Christ after he died on the cross. The song is talking about our Jesus dying on the cross as you stated. I don’t think she was interpreting Jesus or God, I think she was interpreting the people suffering from the loss of Jesus and how they felt. I think the dancer was a beautiful addition to this song making it that much better.

      Lol, this a comments section, it's open for both criticism and compliments. If the person who shared the video didn't want to hear what people had to say, they would have switched the comments off.
      I'm Xhosa (the language of the song) and I can tell you now that there was no room for the contemporary dancing in this song.
      The lady is a great dancer, just not for this song.

But she adds a lot of emotion which i dont really see in a lot of choir which i love seeing time to time but great work!!

    The song is meant to be a lullaby to a child of the village... The dancer seems like she's trying to make it a song about loss or sadness... but it's not. And even if it was, she just looks kinda ridiculous; bad move by the director
