Mona Ki Ngi Xica feat. Bonga | Song Around The World | Playing For Change
Вставка
- Опубліковано 15 лют 2024
- Music has a remarkable power to transcend borders, languages, and cultures, allowing us to discover a connected world through unifying melodies. "Mona Ki Ngi Xica" Song Around The World, written by and featuring the legendary Angolan artist, Bonga, is the quintessential song in representing that power, conveying a message of unity, resilience, and hope.
Bonga’s album Angola 72, which featured “Mona Ki Ngi Xica,” is one of the most influential and impactful albums recorded, as it became the soundtrack for revolutionaries fighting for independence from colonial rule. "Mona Ki Ngi Xica," which means “the child I’m leaving behind,” was written and recorded in the Netherlands by Bonga in exile and smuggled back into Portugal and Angola, thus becoming a pillar for representing significant political and social change.
Bonga’s artistry and tenacity is a prime example of the collective force of music that brings people together, bridging gaps and inspiring action towards a brighter, more harmonious future.
You can’t rewrite history but you can create a better future. - Mark Johnson

Bonga! Wonderful. I am a Polish living in Angola and once I heard Bonga for the first time... One day I will leave Angola, but Bonga will never leave my soul. Um músico fenomenal!
Não fode
Tu não entende nada
Eu sou angolano, e não entendo, você chegou agora, queres sentar na janela?!?
Absolutely gorgeous, as usual. Thank you to all involved, and I pray for peace in this dispute, of which I'm ignorant and will try to learn a little about. Thanks again everyone!!! ❤
Quelle belle musique. Le solo de guitare tellement calme. Les percussions nonchalantes. Un ensemble génial. Merci aux artistes.
Maravilha a música que une povos! Bonga tem toda a razão, não fosse a África não tinha samba, Angola mãe da cultura brasileira!!
I can’t translate portuguese here, why not;?
Wonderful the music that unites people! Bonga is absolutely right, if it weren't for Africa there wouldn't be samba, Angola is the mother of Brazilian culture!!@@myrthegreenfield2281
@@myrthegreenfield2281 For me the translation option appears, maybe if you use Chrome, it has a translation tool, that's how I saw your observation.

Me pasarías la letra..? Me encantaria saber su poesía..! I'm from Argentina, Santa Rosa De La Pampa.
crying when i listen to this music. thank for all he done for mw and my family.thank you bonga ,thank guys
I always refer to Jimi Hendrix’s wisdom: Music doesn’t lie.
The singing from Yuri Da Cunha brought me to tears, before I even read the description or history of this song. The heart needs no words to understand.
Very special this music, born and live in Angola Bonga always give us musics like that, rhythm is the base of Angolan sound. Thanks Bonga for this beautiful Gift for Us around world
As a English / Angolan born and raised in London, I feel deeply connected to my Angolan side. Cannot believe Playing for change have collaborated with Bonga
I don't believe as well. Our culture is being recognised.
We feel so honored to have the opportunity to collaborate with Bonga🤝
Looking forward for you all to enjoy this song! Only two days to go!🤩💛
Прекрасная музыка, прекрасные люди! Счастья всём людям, мира и радости!
Поддерживаю вами сказанное , и поддерживаю вас!
a música transcende qualquer fronteira e qualquer barreira que o Homem criou. 49 anos de Independência, e esta música ainda é actual. Os filhos de Angola estão constantemente a abandonar o País em busca de melhor condição de vida. Um bem haja a todos os que contribuíram para a execução desta obra prima.

I've been following your work for years, and was really happy to learn that you'd been in Angola and then Portugal, with Bonga... well, it was worth waiting, as always! This is a great tribute to one of the greatest artists of our country, and to our traditional music. Adding Yuri da Cunha, along with other great artists of the "lusofonia" made it even greater.
Angola in my heart🇦🇴

Uma das vozes libertárias do seu povo Angolano contra a escravidão e o genocídio português. Herói artístico do seu povo..... Grande Bonga......
Great music, amazing vocals and fantastic musicians !
Lindo!! A música tem muito sentido pela luta ❤
I put a small JBL speaker on my chest when I play music so I can feel it inside (without waking the neighborhood)... this is a song that fell deep into my chest, into my blood, with a rythm and soul. Want to write so much more, but another time- mind and soul foggy this morning. Thank you so much for creating this!
So beautiful ❣️♥️ Music is definitely the universal language, bringing the world together as one, the way it should be; one love ❣️♥️🎶
Just beautiful 😍
Sin duda, la música es el idioma universal...!!!!
Kota Bonga Kwenda... the magic of Angola and Portugal... roça do jindungo, Mariquinha, Mulemba Xangola....

Omg! I've seen the episode where you interviewed Bonga and I was like "where's the video of him singing? There's no way you went all the way to Lisboa and we're not getting to have him sing for us." Of course you wouldn't do that to us. Thanks, PFC.
Parabéns pela bela música!
