I like this oldest music from60s to70s like The Movers,Babsy Mlangeni,Teenage Lovers and many more.Can you please fined those I've mentioned pls@@isaackamungu5223
I cry when I listen to them. I know why I do so. During those days, few people could afford to buy their records, something that could have made them rich. It's possible that some of them died poor. RU-vid! Ndibamba ngazo zozibini for the addition of this jewel. I thank you very much.
I was introduced to the music of these beautiful women when I was about eight years old. That was decades ago. I still remember every one of these songs. Lovely!
I cry when I listen to the Dark City Sisters. I know very well why I do so. During those days, very few people could buy their records, something that could have made them rich. In my bloc (about ten houses) in the location, only one house had a gramophone. RU-vid! Ndibamba ngazo zozibini for what you have done. I value greatly this musical addition. Thank you very much.
It reminds me of my childhood days and primary school days in the 1960s. Reminiscent of the good old peaceful days good neighbours kind people and beautiful environments.
One of the first music I listened to as child. After school my mom will play the cassette and I will fall asleep. Thanks for uploading and thanks to the Dark city sisters. Some maybe gone and others, great grandmothers but your memories live on.
These songs were sung by great ladies from Alexandre, a sprawling township in Johannesburg. Sadly, most members have been called to the Lord, but their music continues to touch many hearts.
My dad will play this in the early nineties. We all loved it especially "elanga more". I grew up to discover that these songs were played in the late fifties. Wow!!!
Very nostalgic. I grew up with these songs in the early 70 in Jos Nigeria. Brings back memories of my Dad of blessed memories. Thank you so much for sharing.
I was young then in the early 60s, each time I visited my brother in chingola Zambia. the dark city sisters music was simply the best. Even now I still enjoy this music.
my grandfather would always play the song rose to the absolute annoyance of my grandmother but somehow it always worked to keep the love until death did them part❤
My Mum's elder sister worked SA and died in the late 1960s. MY MUM WENT TO COLLECT HER BELONGINGS AND CAME WOTH THESE RECORDS. WE PLAYED THEM EVERY NOW AND THEN. MHSRIP. MMASAMO MOSARWA
My eldest sister, these tracks reminds me of you, those years when I was still a little boy walking with you down to the Willows Village. May you continue resting in peace, I will always remember you.
Never i Can forget this crew where i discovered myself in to the deep pure African in thé 80es a Young student in the université of Ydé at ngoa Ekelle Much Love for you DARK CITY *SISTERS ORCHESTRA
I have been listening to this album for the past 40 years and I don't think I will get tired or bored listing to it. Each time I listened, its as refreshing as the first time I did. Though I don't understand the language the songs were sung but there songs are beautiful.
One of the earliest recorded African music. They made quite an impression, bringing out the raw talent of African music, its beauty, potency and unique blend of voices and instruments that may have kept Adam and Eve from mischief in Eden!
I don't think l will ever get tired of this song, i vividly remember this song when my elder brother bought the cassette in late 1980s . I cry anytime l listen to it. Though i don't understand any word there but it informs of apartheid policy in South Africa. It was a liberation song to my thinking anyway. Nelson Mandela rest in peace. Dark city sisters you will ever be blessed and remembered for ever
What lovely good l do enjoy music during those days in west Africa Ghana in the early 60’s my father used to play your music as a wake up song l was a teenager then thanks even we didn't understand but enjoyed the rhythm ❤❤❤
Dad, rest in eternal peace..🙏🏿 this morning l had a dream of you and though l did not see you, l heard this music playing at the background.. one of your favorites which you played on Sunday mornings with me budging you to play my favorite “epitikeleyhi”
Reminds me of my early childhood days when the Dark City Sisters were riding high on the African Music scene! Can't be grateful enough to RU-vid for providing this forum in which their music reincarnates!
What a wonderful vocal group that graced my youthful days in Nigeria long time ago. I doubt if they were appreciated enough, but never mind, time and posterity will appreciate them more.
Of course I number one that i came about to know this music as aely as 1982 i was frightened the first day i received it in my Google especially the track ilanga more even i letter traveld to Nairobi and I saw one this sisters there at Mombasa their torison state but she's from South Africa,o this life is somehow something else
These songs among many others by the Dark City Sisters evoke fond memories of my childhood. My parents & siblings still mimick the lyrics of these songs regardless of the language barrier. Beautiful memories of the 1960s & '70s.
The twist dance time, Stonkfel at home was nice time., Madombi a maropo (Dumbling and Beef bones), My mother loved the first one and Setswana one, my father others especially those of other languages, he was multi linguistic, When Southern Africa was one country. He will need space to be alone in his world. I need Mshombororo song
I have being listen to this album since I was 12 years old and still love to listen it now that I am 62 years old.May God bless them and All those who love their music.
These songs bring back a lot of nostalgia, sometimes I shed tears listening to them even though I don’t understand a single word but all I know is that music transcends any language.
When I was a kid, we woke up to these awesome sisters, Tim and Forti, Mbilia Bel or Voice of the Cross, depending on who got up first: my mum, dad, or sister.
This music always left me with 😭😭 tears whenever I listen to it both the inspiration it gives me and in remembering my late elderly brother who used to play it in our home early 80s may his soul rest in peace.
