Funny how I don't understand the language but the song continues to be top of my playlist when it comes to Africa oldies tunes. Can even sing the lyrics as I have been listening to this since the early 80s.
"...music is infectious: it both begs for and demands your ears. It wounds when it’s summoned to heal. It urges us to forget at the same time that it tickles the memory awake. It fills the air, flows through the bloodstream and carries the singer and his audience to the edges of the universe, where only imagination can reach. It abandons them there, lost and enjoying their new state." - Letlapa Mphahlele
I was a lad growing up in Nigeria when I started enjoying their lovely tunes.Listening to them now takes me back over 40 yrs! Anyone know where I buy their music? Pleeeeaaaase.
So emotionally drenched. Reminds me of Lady Selbourne, then my father boarded in Pimville, then we moved to Mamelodi East, then to Zebediela and commuted most of our lives
lovely women with lovely voices..can't forget them! my love for them grew when I was only four...my uncle will always listen to them whenever he came back from work..hence I came to love their music...

Beautiful voices, instrument everything blends well. Woow! Botswana still loves you Dark City Sisters. 2022 you still rock.
The song reminds me 1963 when my grandfather returned from South Africa where he was a muchona for so many years
I cry whenever I hear this song...reminds me of my childhood. My late Dad will play beautiful music of yesteryears for us...

Sounds so sorrowful, yet good to listen to. Great music.

Reminds me of my Cape Town born mom, she could sing to the music and sounded just like the record when I was about 5 years old.
Poleni sana,sweet sixties when people were suffering in SA,,just wanna cry. Reminds me of VOK's Job Isaac Mwamto and RTD's Sarah Dumbo.
