As a black person stolen from the motherland homeland..🇬🇩..i connected with my ancestors via the Steve Biko story and Sarafina, I connected with the music. At 40+ when I hear the Horn of Africa's music, I am goose bumped, i shake and I cry. It awakens something ancient that puts me at peace and angers me at the same time. 9/10 I don't know the language( English and french Patois speaker) but i somehow connect with it! Long live the African continent and all its peoples...blessings and Jesus always!
I LITERALLY JUST SAID THIS ON A DIFFERENT VIDEO ABOUT A DIFFERENT AFRICAN SONG!!!! As an African American, when I hear this for the first time, I feel this sound deep in the bone marrow, inside my blood... I'm crying as I write this. I have never been to Africa... Neither has my father, grandfather, great grandfather, nor his father 😭😭😭 But for some reason, my body, my soul, my bones, my BLOOD knows EXACTLY what I'm hearing. It's a sound from so long ago but so close....it's like I can smell air I have never breathed.... It's like I can feel soil on my feet I've never stepped foot on... What is it like to never have ancestors who were slaves? This! This is what it is like...it sounds just like this! I need to go home. I need to someday just go and feel the land on my feet...we all do. Pray for the Diaspora 🙏🏽🙏🏽😭😭
"The gist of the song, Athandwe's lover says.... Athandwe ksasa ndiyahamba (Athandwe tomorrow I'm leaving) Athandwe sizaw'phone'lana (Athandwe we'll call each other) Nguwe ingqondo yami (You ARE on my mind) Bazo phel' abantu (Till there's no one left) here Athandwe replies and says Hamba wena hamba (Go, you can go) the lover says again Nguwe ingqondo yami (You ARE on my mind) Bazo phel' abantu (Till there's no one left) Nguwe ingqondo yami (You ARE on my mind) Nguwe isthandwa sami (You are my love) Then from here Athandwe=baby and the lover says they'll leave a number for Athandwe to call, then harmonizing and yeah, that's the story." - translated by Nora Mhlongo_7884
Thank God , I can now see my favourite musical group on TV.May God Keep Blessing Gwijo Avenue because they deserve this accolade.Magwijo amahle.Doing what separates us from the rest of the world 🌎❤
Never stop doing what you are doing because you don't know who is watching you... Lento iqale kancane ekhoneni but look at it today. They call it amagwijo but lapho engiphuma ekhona e Osizweni, Newcastle kzn we call it introja... This kind of genre was introduced by inmates. It was adopted by soccer players and fans. We should give credits to our fellow inmates and ex cons (former prisoners) who introduced it to us. We sang it at school toilet to welcome new comers, we sang at play grounds ekasi, emakhoneni eloktion, etc. That's a history of it, introja.. salute to our inmates.❤
SAns are just on 🔥. I hope one day you really see how gifted you are. Beautiful voices. Eishhhh! This also is going to be very popular on social media and abo Swae ntonintoni are going to say its Nigerian 😂
Não sei o que eles estão cantando, mas sinto uma emoção dentro do meu coração. Nunca estive no continente africano, mas sinto que tenho uma ligação muito forte. Que música linda. Um enorme abraço aqui do Brasil 🇧🇷 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
É uma conversa entre 2 pessoas. Um homem e uma mulher. O homem diz que vai embora (possivelmente pra um outro país), mas que ainda assim ela sempre estará no coração dele, na mente dele. A menina diz que dará o número do telefone (ou que existe o telefone pra poderem manter o contacto) e que ele pode ir em paz (Hamba Wena = You can go/ Podes ir) É basicamente isso
Is a lover (man) telling his girl he is leaving tomorrow. But he will keep in touch by constantly calling. He reassured her that she is his world because his always thinking about her.

It's time sa recognise amagwijo as a genre ...
Riiggght
Totally agree with you
And then they,,,,,from you know where,, will come to mimic it and claim it's theirs and can do it better than us, story of our lives!😂

The girl who made this song should be remembered and rewarded
Just shambled on this, please who is the girl that sang this originally. Live it❤
No Cap, i love the gents, i have rewatched this on their Channel a thousand times. But that little girl deserves a little bit of recognition
She didn't make it, it has been there for years. She just sang it and trended (I love her too)

One day you will go home to Africa and walk on the ground your ancestors walked on. Your soul will always be African❤✊🏾
Strength to you, I trust you will find your way back home.
