- Опубліковано 9 лют 2019
- From her piercing ululation which shattered the silence on stage to her powerful and pitch-perfect homage to Miriam Makeba's ‘Qongqothwane’ - Siki Jo-An proved she meant business getting one of the fastest four-chair turns EVER and a standing ovation. Despite impressive pitches from our panel, it was Riana who won her over ultimately.

She makes me proud to be a black African woman and I’m a white Scottish guy.
😂😂 This comment
I'm with u there brother ...like jx gives me this exquisite unexplainable feelin
true! btw, I'm Indonesian! LOL
🤣🤣🤣🤣
This comment had me laughing so hard I almost choked. Oddly enough I completely felt that 😂
She made sure everybody was wide awake before she started singing!🤣
How great was that?
It reminds me of the disney movie Coco where Hector teaches Miguel that a good song needs a proper 'greeto' beforehand. It makes people start paying attention.
Nina Mo is she South African
you ruined it for me
naomi Ayandiji Yes she is. Singing in isiXhosa, one of the official languages here in SA. It’s known for the clicks
She called all ancestors...and All of them showed up!!
Miriam Makeba will never be forgotten❤
Thanks for honoring her.
I was thinking the same thing ❤❤❤
The look on Lira’s face Said is it all
You're not going to see this anywhere else in the world. This is uniquely African.
If you mean the ululating then I'm afraid you are wrong. I am Zimbabwean living in England and last year, my family and I were in a Turkish restaurant we go to often, but this particular night there was a birthday celebration of this Turkish person and their big family. After the cake came and they sang Happy Birthday, the women started ululating. We were sitting right behind them so my mum and aunty turned around and smiled at them in surprise. They also joined in on the ululating and the Turkish family were amazed and we all broke out into laughter. The Turkish family was so happy about the joint ululating that they cut us some large slices of cake, which was so lovely of them.
I had always thought that ululating was uniquely Zimbabwean and South African. I never even knew that other Africans also ululate, so it was a big surprise to discover that non Africans have the same culture when celebrating. That day I learnt that ululating was intercontinental.
@@hils1015 ululating😂😂😂... Nice paragraph
Yes
I'm from Somalia lolalola is culture the day of the wedding day and celebration day or engagement day is not only for Lola Lola is South Africa just another country in Africa just is the Cultural Lola Lola olsen Middle East
South America
There’s no way you can just watch this once and be satisfied
Right! I'm on my 20th rewind.
You got that right
Once is enough for me. Certainly enjoyed the video though.
Siki Jo-An nails the spirit of this joyful song. The little beetle whose tapping signals the coming good from God in the form of rains, is a representative of an indomitable spirit. WE NEED more music like this. More than ever, the world needs to see the little signs of God’s goodness to come. It transcends all peoples, places and times, because we need this kind of hope, and to be present in the moment for the little good things today.
I sure hope Siki leans into these types of arrangements of traditional songs. They are so much more beautiful than pop music of today.
Ever!
2023 anyone? I have watched this a dozen times already over the years. Still gives me chills.
About to be 2024 :)
Nov 2023 🔥😩❤️
2024 anyone?
@@sihle4200 still here :)
Me and you
I'm 64, white, Danish and not easy to move emotionally.
I watched a show with Miriam Makeba in 1963 where she sang this. I liked it a lot even as a small child and that was the day I learned to hate apartheid.
Even so. Half way into this version of the song I had tears in my eyes and no way to explain why.
When I tried telling my wife, I choked up.
Wow. Such power.
Wow!❤❤❤
Sending lots of RSA 🇿🇦 love!
Wow. What an experience to have watched Miriam Makeba
This just shook my heart. Omg.
I'm Fijian and I can relate. I too was moved and inspired by Miriam Makeba’s music. Music is our universal language.
Peace and Love to you. 🙏🏼🇫🇯💚
Beautiful comment. Thank you for taking the time to share.
If anyone says representation doesn't matter, show them this. The pride and joy across the room speaks to that.
Thank you. Growing up in Africa, I never knew that representation was important until I moved to USA and had my own children who don't have the privilege of growing up in a black majority country
@@tendiwero So well said. I grew up in Africa too and only realised when I moved abroad that that in itself was a privilege. For my race to never factor in any decisions, opportunities, interactions is a privilege.
Well said. Reaction in studio made me teary-eyed
Representing what?
I don't think it's important, I watched the clip, how was it supposed to change my mind?
As a South African, not only did she nail the cover of one of our most loved songs and artists (Miriam Makeba) she was also dripping in SA style, charisma and swag. There is a certain something about an African womens energy.
It's a wedding song
Me doh wo paaaaaaaa
I'm a Filipino and I don't even speak Xhosa but the way she sings, I felt the connection with teary eyes. I'm proud of her.
isiXhosa*
I love how as South Africas we only needed to hear the ululation from her voice to know that this performance deserved to be watched. And the recognition in the judges faces upon hearing wasted no time. True talent.
I'm a Brazilian and I study linguistics , and since I heard about Xhosa language I fell in love. I literally cried seeing this. It's just amazing seeing such a beautiful song an culture represented in such big plataforrm.
i study linguistics too☺ frm south Africa
I'm planning to major in linguistics in 2 years time! Wish me luck! Oh I'm from Malaysia :)
@@jeremybong7238 goodluck jeremy☺💕🤘
m doin 2nd level University of limpopo "south africa"
me too! I am 18 years old and I have a Portuguese-English-Spanish Language School, I fell in love with the Xhosa, Sinhala and Silbo Gomero language, I get sad when I talk to people and they don't believe it, they make fun, thinking that something like this doesn't exist.
Opaa eae
Was this her AUDITION??
Her voice, her presence, her energy, SHE'S A STAR!
Amazing 😮
A whole concert
This wasnt an audtion. This was a concert! 🙌🏼
Get this woman on the next black panther soundtrack immediately!!! 😍😍
@@sakhilepadi3501 no but it would be a beautiful addition to the soundtrack
I second that
Sakhile Padi she was just saying gosh u ain’t gotta be so rude about it
Man, she was giving the woman a compliment. I think it's a wonderful idea.
Sakhile Padi ummm don’t say we bruh!! Being on that soundtrack would be a great opportunity for her and great on South Africa! Speak for yourself !
Qongqothwane is a traditional song of the Xhosa people of South Africa. It is sung at weddings to bring good fortune. In the western world it is mainly known as The Click Song, a nickname given to the song by European colonials who could not pronounce its Xhosa title, which has many click consonants in it. The Xhosa title literally means "knock-knock beetle", which is a popular name for various species of darkling beetles that make a distinctive knocking sound by tapping their abdomens on the ground. These beetles are believed by the Xhosa to bring good luck and rain.
The song is known world-wide thanks to the interpretation of South African singer Miriam Makeba (herself a Xhosa). In her discography the song appears in several versions, both with the title Qongqothwane and as The Click Song.
More information on the song can be found in Makeba's book The World of African Song (Chicago: Quadrangle Books, 1971), including the following translation: "The doctor of the road is the beetle / He climbed past this way / They say it is the beetle / Oh! It is the beetle."
She explains the song as a traditional folk song which refers to the knocking beetle which makes clicking sounds and can revolve the top part of its body in any direction. The beetle is used in children's games to point the way home, but also has a deeper symbolism, pointing the way to a better future in times of trouble. In her biography (p.86), she mentions singing it in The Village Vanguard Club in New York, and calls it a "Xhosa song about a dreamy bride".
Thank you for all that information S N Smith 🙂. Very insightful!
You could write for Wikipedia
S N Smith what version does she sing in the beginning?
Sarcasm? No. Lol obviously.
thanks!
She walks like a queen, moves like a queen , singing like a queen .. she is a queen . I loved her.. proud to be African …. Greeting from Egypt 🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤🤍🖤
The judges turned so quickly because they exactly wanted to WATCH this performance rather than "judge" this performance. 🙂
I'm Xhosa and this still gives me goosebumps ,such a proud language.
Ndzingah
Do you know the lyrics to the first and last part? I only deciphered:
Lama qama qavinbo, la qashama
The last lyric I didn't hear so much, but it sounded like:
qaqaiqiqaqothwane
Please help? Thanks!
Qaqeqiqoqu-thwane, the last part.
The most complicated idiom to pronounce :-O
Im not South African or Xhosa. Im Cameroonian but i never felt as much pride in our native african languages as i did watching this woman sing. I'm floored. Wow!
This was beautiful and in her native tongue! Didn't understand a word, but this is music I didn't have to ... I felt it!
I felt it too. And I am not South African
Ufana nqwa nam wena Lin Mari, andiva kwa nto
I dont understand the language but this is PURE MUSIC! ❤ from the PHILIPPINES!
@@mihlalijoy8005 😂😂😂 hay subanje
Well said
I am from Iceland but the pride I felt as I listened was real. This hit directly in the heart.
No need to understand the langage. She’s waking up my African spirits ❤
She looks like a Disney princess wow
An African princess. A Xhosa queen
Correction. AFRICAN PRINCESS
@@c.w.3739
An African princess can be a disney princess too! (Tiana for ex, though she is Afro American and not African, but yeah..you get the point....)
ahhh i wish they make an african disney princess
I can't believe that she's not an international singer, she's remarkable, so professional
Oneek Williams and guess what?... Here in South Africa we have many others like her unfortunately unknown to the outside world
It is not only the singers who are not recognized by the rest of the world. Designer, Crafter and other gifted humans are invisible.... I avoid for purpose statement: ignored, I have a dream.....
I SAY THE SAME THING. SHE IS THE PRESENT DAY MIRIAM MAKEBA.I WOULD LOVE TO HAVE HER PERFORM IN CANADA 🖤👑🌹
@@pcm737 SO LET'S PUT THEM ON THE MAP 🌏
The pride on her mom's face. Her voice is amazing
My favorite part was when she went to the higher octave (1:30). Her vibrato and stage presence there was simply amazing. The whole performance was amazing, but that part was just on another level.
True she ddnt even force that it was flawless she made it look simple❤
I do not know what she sang but this made me soo happy 😭
She is singing in one of the south african's language. This song was sang during the apartheid that is why is very emotional.
@@michaelscience2481 it's really amazing
She is singing about a doctor with a way
Me either, but her voice and stage presence is magical!!!
Its a Xhosa wedding song and its truly beautiful.
If I wasn't already African I would have died gone to God and ask him to send me back as one....Proud Nigerian....will happily trade to South African, Congolese.....any African.....we are great people.....amazing.
You are blessed ❤️🇧🇧
❤️🇿🇦🇿🇦
us africans are so blessed, love u my brothers and sisters stay strong 🇬🇭
I'm willing to walk back from Suriname to Africa.
My ancestral home.
Get em Siki. ❤❤❤

Now she can say "I'm from Gqeberge". And probably bursts into Qongqothwane whenever she does :D
I see what you did there 😉
Gqeberha
On behalf of the filipino-spanish-chinese community.. we are proud to be African 💖💯
THIS is the root of EVERYTHING. Blues, Jazz, Rock, Country, Pop... everything. Let me say, as an Italian with a Sardinian origin, people and culture like these are the roots of everything. We have to remember and pay attention, listen and give to these Roots the importance they have!
BRAVO🙌👏🥳sono nata in Sud Africa 💘
Very true

I totally agree with your Dario.
I'm a Black man from America. I don't understand why or how , but her performance brings to tears . So Beautiful. 🇺🇸👍
This made me feel proudly South African!

I don't know if I'm of "South African" heritage, but I'm proud as well!!
Me too guys

@@ryankibet7086 , I'm American and I loved every bit of the performance!!
I don’t know what she is singing about but can hear my ancestors speak to me through her *teary*. Feel so proud of you and proud to be African. Much love from 💚💛❤️
Xhosa is such a beautiful language!
Just to brag that I went to the same school with her incredible 😍
Anita Cakana haha. I know what you mean. I am from Barbados and my brother went to school with Rihanna and I mention it every chance I get. Lol
Brag away.....I wish I could click....it's one of my top songs by Mariam Makeba....known it from childhood....my English upbringing....cannot even speak my native Igbo talk Language.....🙈🙊
I'm also 25...just like her! Lol🤭🤭... Lemme just console myself with that!
Wow!
I cannot stop watching this. It improves my mood by about 50% everytime.
Me too! I keep coming back to listen again. Best version of this song ever!!
Becca Full same here! She is a GODDESS. 😍
Me too. Although I dont understand what the lyrics means...I just love it......so much.
Me either, I cant stop watching, I dont understand the lyrics, but I have been sharing it, I cant get enough, I am still crying. I am in love!!
Same here.
2020 still watching it.
I'm a Nigerian o...but I swear I love south africa so much. Music and culture is something else
Lol! They way you said “I’m a Nigerian o” lol!
I’m Xhosa myself but this gave me goosebumps. She nailed it❤️❤️
She sounds like freedom should sound. I'm amazed.
I'm from Brazil and I've never heard something like this. Amazing voice, Energy.
True
I am Indian, don't understand a word. But could feel the song since the first second. Gave me goosebumps. ❤❤
They should've ended the show here and given her the prize. Fantastic
This made me cry and feel proud of being Xhosa and African.😢😭
Bright Star please tell me she won.
@@theformerflightattendant No she didn't win the competition. I think she came 2nd.
Me tooo im proud
Me too so proud of my mother tongue
She's a professional Ululator 😂
Lol 😂
I'm definitely hiring her for my wedding
🤣🤣🤣🤣
Zanele Mnguni hopefully you could afford her lmao
Bruh
Im from the US and the moment she opened her mouth, tears popped out of my eyes. I have no idea what she is saying, but im in love with this language. Dang, i want to be SA. (Khoisan languages) i think. I know she will reach her height. Watching Africa rise in every area is spiritual
It’s one of Miriam Makeba songs and she sung in Xhosa and sometimes Zulu which are Southern Bantu languages. Although they have Khoi-San influences, they are not Khoi-San, but Southern Bantu.
It's actually a traditional song Makeba put into production and shared with the world. You nailed it about the differences in the Bantu groups.
Facts. The screeching at the beginning wakes something up in my soul/spirit. I’m a Black American. Also the clicks in between the words are everything. 😍😍😩🤧 I get chills every time I see this video.
no this is not a khoisan language but a xhosa language from south africa
Does someone want to let me know - all the way in Canada! - How did this young lady did *not* win the competition?!? She's a mind blowing talent....
She clicked her tounge while singing? 😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱😱 its supercalifragilistiexpialidocious!
Raynold Thomas i think that’s her teeth hitting
She is actually singing in the Xhosa language
This language has click consonants in it
Sounds pretty unique , interesting and fun....😍😍
@@nakakahilo6716 doesn't look she's hitting her teeth though. Anyway, she's awesome!

He's a special needs kid, there was an article about him. Being there was a big deal for him.

I HONESTLY think she could own The Voice Globally! Prob 70% of those who comment don't understand a word of the language, the culture in the clothing etc but, they all understand the quality of her voice, performance, and humility. Music unites us.
Love South Africa from Brazil

I am stunned! The Click Song is one of my favorite songs. I think Miriam Makeba would be proud. Aloha from Hawaiʻi.

I am American and I grew up listening to Miriam Makeba. She also sang another song that paid tribute to Shaka Zulu. We always loved Miriam Makeba, watched every time she appeared on TV and were heartbroken when she passed away.

Also, the raw power at 1:40 gave my goosebumps goosebumps.
Right?! Huge huge.
I am an American. Ngifunda IsiZulu from a Xhosa woman in Midrand. She is also teaching me isiXhosa in the midst. I got the c and x clicks down and just got the q click. These are some beautiful languages and I'm honored to learn them

We were stolen from Africa and taken to the colonized islands, USA, etc, and enslaved.
I was born in Barbados and on my first visit to Africa (to South Africa), getting off the plane and stepping on the ground was an emotional experience that I will never forget.
On my visit to Ghana, from which the people to be enslaved were shipped, that was even more emotional. Our small countries (Jamaica, Barbados, etc) are not part of Africa but we are African by heritage and mighty proud of it. It is more than just Geography for those of us who know better.
Oh sorry but Jamaican's are not Africans

She absolutely owned the stage, there was so much charisma and personality in her performance.
