Pat Shange was the first international singer whose show I attended many years ago in Carnivore Restaurant, Nairobi, Kenya.. Before the show started, he interacted with the multitude without anyone realising that he was the one. He came to me and started chatting with me without I having a clue that he was the one. We talked about South African history which I knew well and he really enjoyed. It was getting late and people were starting to get frustrated that Pat Shange had not started his performance. It was at this time that excused himself, changed and then came on stage to perform. I could not believe it that the person I was chatting with minutes before was Pat Shange the star. His performance was amazing for he gave his best! He started with my favourite song 'Sweet Mama' which was so melodious.Too bad that I will never meet him again on earth. Wherever you are Pat Shange, may good fortunes be with you. Rest in peace my brother. You are not dead, you are just away.
The first song i danced at my freshers' ball Makerere University more than 35 years ago. It was mindblowing. It was and still is. What a great musician
Back then I was a kid walking without shoes spending the day hungry. I never knew that in future I will own a Range Rover Velar, a Mercedes GLE and buy houses for cash in £££. Despite my successes today, I would give it up in a heart beat to go back to this era. The economy of my country Zimbabwe was still good. The health sector was good and we had our own currency.
Sad bro....unfortunately, the folks listened to the politicians. They failed the country and convinced you that it was the whites to blame....just like that, our people listened and here we are
Then came 1987 when our village neighbor had a University of Nairobi graduation celebration. In those good old days of Cassette players, the young graduates came with a JVC boombox to the thrill of everyone who cared to know what the city boys had come with. Late in the night, this song was played! man! the poorly lit thatched mud hut was engulfed by the thick cloud of dust as we danced ourselves silly! This song became the inspiration for many of the village boys to do well in school so that we too would become city boys who owned boom boxes.
I'm guessing you looking back at 2018 now and thinking actually whatever I was going through is nothing compared to 2020 (covid). stay strong stay safe stay blessed
A hit song of the 80s. Dominated airwaves across Africa during our childhood days. What a song! Brings back nostalgic memories of our era. Reminds me if my childhood days in the streets of Malawi.
RIP Pat Shange. You lightened my youthful years. I entertain myself up to date with your songs. Legends don't die. They just rest.Continue resting till the resurrection day
Reminds me when i was still a teernager with my friends playing soccer.not drinking alcohol not smoking cigar. Some of my friends are no more lettheir spirits rest in peace.great music of our time.,❤
I remember when I his photographs from one of his friends named Manoba Xhubeka who was also a journalism student at TSJ Ilala Sharrif Shamba Tanzania. This guy told me much about Pat and his prominance in South Africa from there I began to follow his music. Definitely, a man was a talented artist and among the best musician ever. RIP Pat.
Born in the eighties found the music ,now am aging leaving the same music young ,soothing,relaxing and therapeutic rhythm. It has helped me recover from chronic depression.from kenya
Pat Shange hits days of my youth hard enough . Back in the day when i was growing up, entertainment all through - sweet memories of my youthful days are made of such music . The Afro Pat Shange dancing style together with the drumist and keyboard makes the dance real fun.
Song reminds me of the real Christmas days of the late 80s when we were kids..most of my maternal aunts and uncles , ad dear mum now gone... With us dancing in the middle in our new Xmas clothes with sodas in our hands..😭😭😭😭
This song takes me back to a time when i was a little farmboy ,listing Pat Shange and didnt knowlife will turn out like life todday,in The Republic of South -Africa.
Thinking of the fact that this song was done in the 80's and Im here commenting on it speaks volume. Great loss to the continent, fortunately the legacy lives on.
This lovely old school music reminds me of my late Dad Ngarambe Leopold's Japanese made National Panasonic Shortwave radio !! we used to hook the oldies of this kind on Northern section channel of the radio Uganda of that time . we used to tune-in on either 60 or 49 meter band . I'll always miss the time between 1986 and 1989. I dedicate it to my generation ...those still alive and fallen comrades !
Pat Shange ...His songs were hits when I was a kid in primary school and his songs were played at a night club just a few meters from our house back in 1984, and the club light would be flashing in our house
This takes me back into time ..we loved South African music in Zimbabwe (still do)... what l like the most is l don't know the lyrics of this song..l.just sing out aloud when he says anytime baby...❤😅...the 80's and 90' s songs were the real deal...love you still..Pat Shange..even in your death
When music was music.... Discipline was the thought of every musician making it a family entertainment thing. Nowdays you have to have remote in your hand.... Anything can happen , indiscipline is the order of the day in our music industry..... Rip patshange
......them days of V.O.K, K.B.C in the mornings heading to school with the deejay John Karani, sweet memories NOT FORGETTING THE PROGRAM ON SATURDAY NIGHT... URTNA 😢😢😢😢
@@muthonindambi1437 I just noticed your reply after all this time, I did only one tour with them, I , Barry Shange, Sisco Mokoena and Fikile kubeka we were openning acts for the duration ,I did no recordings with Pat.
coolest music from downsouth :) takes me down memory lane listening to my Dad's (RIP) SHARP transistor radio... oh, how i miss those days in the countryside... shortwave bands! Leonard Mambo Motela, Fred Machoka, Khadija Ali et. al. of good old VOK/KBC... awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
CURRENT GENERATION MAY NOT KNOW WHAT THEY MISSED, THESE WERE THE TIMES OF SERIOUS BASH!!! REST IN PEACE DEAR BROTHER, WE WILL MISS YOU BUT YOU LIVE ON.
There are no words to describe the profound sadness I'm feeling right now on the passing of this absolute legend. You gave us so much joy with your music. Gone so suddenly. Painful, painful, painful ........ R.I.P. 17/07/2021
Ooh going down memory lane in 2022!!! I couldn't sit down while this song was playing... i tell you i cranked up the volume and assumed my girl friend was listening... those good old days...love it ....Rest in Peace Pat....

The newer generation coming up with dance 👯 music 🎵🎶🎼 did nothing wrong they just became too lenient and allowed untalented artists to be in the spotlight 💡.If only they were strict that even if you rap you must @ least sing thr chorus or find someone who can actually sing 🎤 then back up.

Do we still have great hits like this one from South Africa? This generation were gifted.
The newer generation coming up with dance 👯 music 🎵🎶🎼 did nothing wrong they just became too lenient and allowed untalented artists to be in the spotlight 💡.If only they were strict that even if you rap you must @ least sing thr chorus or find someone who can actually sing 🎤 then back up.
My favourite song reminds me of my childhood
I can return to the past world of Pat Shange! His songs were inspired by the all time thus everlasting ones.
This song it makes me crying.Because those days we had disco and breakdancing which is not available nowadays.
I really enjoyed his patriotic songs fighting against apartheid with Yvonne chaka chska in South Africa
