I believe she’s South African. They have that clicking sound in one of their dialects. Forgive me if I’m saying it wrong. She is absolutely beautiful and representing Africa. Well!🖤
Qongqothwane (Westerners know it as The Click Song) is a traditional Xhosa song of South Africa. It's sung at weddings to bring good fortune. Qongqothwane literally means "knock-knock beetle", which is a popular name for various species of darkling beetles that make a distinctive knocking sound by tapping their abdomens on the ground. They're believed to bring good luck and rain. They can revolve the top part of their body in any direction. The beetle is used in children's games to point the way home, but also has a deeper symbolism, pointing the way to a better future in times of trouble. The lyrics: The diviner/doctor of the roadways is the knock-knock beetle Already it climbs up and passes by here They say it is the knock-knock beetle Oh! It is the beetle
It's like hearing a sunset, a sunrise, happy people dancing, deep joy, deep pain, deep love and pride in your identity, all at once! It's like the energy of the African continent in a sound ❤️ BRAVO
I am not in the room but her presence on my screen is so regal that I felt butterflies and started tearing up. Absolutely beautiful voice and person. Queen is accurate. Congratulations 👑
It's so different for US! I'm waiting for others to come and say "it hAs NoThiNg tO Do wiTh RaaAce!." I moved to the motherland for a few years, and it's just different! She spoke to me.
@@lello.4925 thank you. I guessed as the most common. I'm coming to South Africa in a little more than 2 weeks for about 40 days. So excited to see my friends again.
@@skyelark5511 some ppl just don't know what to say. It's just so much jealousy in the world these days my goodness! And some of them don't care about hurting others feelings. SMH!!
Oh my GOD!!! Her voice is definitely a gift from the Almighty!! I have never heard a voice so rich, beautiful and forceful!! And I love opera, so I know exceptionally beautiful voices!!! Her’s on on a different plane!!!!
I said this many times before, and I will repeat it still many times: African people have an unbelievable singing talent, and it is something I can only dream of. If you start listening to these beautiful voices, you don't want anyone to stop singing.❤❤❤❤❤❤
@@albertlwj You sound like a very bitter person to me and you clearly don't like people that develop their God given talents to new heights. Learn to love people that develop their talents and be happy with them when people appreciate their developed talents. 🙏🙏🙏🙏😇😇😇😇
One thing about africans we are not scared to speak our languages😂 we can be in any country even if we know how to speak that language we will still speak our own always
Guess you don't get around much. Even though RU-vid is full of artists that have their own specialties that this woman doesn't know how to do until like the others... practice!
My husband is an igbo man n he sings me these lullabye type songs in his language when we going to sleep sometimes n it sounds beautiful n sweet😂 I love him so much
Sweet husbands are scarce.. my hubby is the sweetest, the man literally does everything for me.😢😢I cry sometimes alone thinking how blessed I am. We are not rich and don’t have everything but am contented ❤by the way, he was my first and still is.
She was blessed with the ability to sing this song pure and she does the tongue clicks with absolute perfection . This is an African hymn from a very strong and traditional tribe ❤
Shes Xhosa and known as Siki Jo-An.....the song goes like this "Lamaqab'imbola ath'aqeqeshwe e'zingqondweni.....Namaaaaaaaadoda ayayoyika "x2....then goes on to say "Igqirha lendlela nguqongqothwane "..... it's mostly sung in Wedding for a good fortune
Powerful went right through me her voice is amazing I thought about Africa the struggles of my ancestors became emotional appreciative at the same time really felt this beautiful earth song!
@@tigerslick1111 They don't know. That person's clearly a black Westerner born and raised in the west and just wants something to attach themselves to cause they feel out of place in a white society.
It definitely touched my soul in a way I’ve never quite felt before. I have no words to really describe how this made me feel. I got chills on the inside up and down my body. Very powerful and spiritual.💖🙏🏽
I am a South African and i am from the Xhosa tribe, and this woman is a Xhosa speaking and what she is singing, is a Xhosa hym that can not be practiced to be done this pour but you are born with it, its a mother tongue, it can not be done better than this... that type of tongue click, its out of this world 🇿🇦
And yall should embrace African Americans in the diaspora who were taken without will and willingly sold and we're denied our roots in America and some African countries.
I'm glad some else here knows Miriam Makeba..I was looking through comments for Miriam lovers...I remember being 9 first coming across Miriam..being overwhelmed by her beautiful soul..even as a child I sensed it...at 50 something..I STILL LOVE Ms Makeba RIEP
Beautiful, and I got amazing GOOSEBUMPS! MY late grandmother would say some words in this beautiful language that she heard when growing up as a missionary in South Africa. Oh my, I was taken into my heritage and felt all my essence !!!!!!! THANK YOU & MANY BLESSINGS !!
