Real South African Music. I grew up on the Zambian-Namibian Border and we danced to this song, zizi kongo's come duze, Hits by Brenda Fassie and the big dudes, Lucky Dube, Yvonne Chaka Chaka and other great stars of South Africa.
This master piece reminds me of my late mum's Graduation, this was the music being played and mum had just bought a new a radio cassette with over 6 speakers in built that was in 1993.... feeling nostalgic. RIP MUM, sure thing my beautiful daughters have to listen to Sydney... Sydney Thank you for the beautiful music of all generation much LOVE from Uganda.. and guess what... i had this song on Tik Tok and asked for the artist and the name of the song and yes i was replied and just ran straight to RU-vid.
2023 I am here, 32 years OLD now. ma father used to listen to this jam... damn had a great upbringing. RIP to those we lost along the way. PEACE AND BLESSINS.
Jennifer I'm sorry about your mum. I'm laying in bed listening to this song missing my late sister and feeling very teary right now. I can relate, me and my sister used to dance to song 25 years ago
Music of the 80's and 90's was so good. this SYDNEY and his music made the world go round we all didn't feel that so called apartheid erra bcoz of this kind of music
this one still hits hard...takes me to Oliphant's Drift Botswana along the Limpopo river, we use to only access radio stations from South Africa..way before mp3s and CDs
I am a musician myself but how I wish I could be as good as this man.... Too bad I can't info leasing to him anymore. He is the only singer I would want to meet before I die
Most people who never grew up under the Apartheid system is unlikely that they will ever understand the significance of this song.The message was clear.But as a young male you could not afford to be soft.There was a time when you Black you could not buy white bread when you were a male.Because you were classified as a mama's baby.The song was on the charts for three years.In a Saturday morning before the midday you will hear the song.I think this was a last album to classified as South African Disco.
My mom would sing this to me whenever i was crying and she would laugh at me and mina that time i really want those sweets she hid from me. Lol. If i could turn back time. Nostalgia
This song takes me back to Lichtenburg in late 80's, there was a place called Rietdraai, it had a shop, butchery and a chillas place and they used to play this song until we named that place "Mamas baby"
This song reminds me yr 1989 July..There was a grootman who loved it so much we called him "Ta Marich" his name was Richard Mani he passed away Jan 2002 (May His Soul RIP) life was very simple then.
during those times there were no one ozothi akusibaba wami noma umama wami wena every father or mother you come across on the street is your parent, he/she can beat you anytime and won't say a thing, where were you gents.
The house Sydney grew up in was opposite my grandmother's house. When he became famous I felt like royalty 😂😂😂 I would tell everyone him and I were tight even though he was as old as my mother😅😅
