Reminds me of when I worked in Kenya. One night walking home from a night at the bar I came across a group of people trying to push a pickup truck in the mud after rain, I joined in I was the only muzungu in the group but I had learn't Twende Twende from some blokes threading a Telephone cable through manholes some days earlier. I was pushing the truck and shouting twende twende. We got the pickup up the hill and to the owners home I was invited in for drinks and my shoes were whisked off for cleaning. Woke up the next morning with an hangover. They said if I had not have got so involved the other men would have given up and left the truck stranded!

This song makes me cry sometimes, life in college was very tough I was about to give up I can’t stop thinking about someone somewhere who motivated me when I was about to give up she keeps saying twende twende tu

I love this song so much with of course the language barrier.The vocals of these legends do it for me.I love my African music.All the love from South Africa
I am a 12 year old girl ...I just came in last Two months....and only Hearing this song.....not only insires me and gives me Confidence but it also gives me home sick.
Eric and Oliver Mtukudzi The Great! I love this songs very much. We need more of such cooperation between African Artists to produce Great Songs that Africa can be proud of. I love South Africa former President, Thabo Mbeki. Mr Mbeki never thinks of himself as a South African. To him territorial and geographical regions are irrelevant. To him he is an African, period! When we are in Europe or America we talk of coming back home, where home means Africa. Let's all be Africans, not Ugandans, Kenya
