need to catch up on this and the general afro thread but the new simmy track is lovely. about 90 seconds in when it really fills up is wonderful

I don't remember which thread had Prince Kaybee's "Uwrongo" on it, but that is also sounding balm-like this morning
― rob, Friday, 27 March 2020 13:04 (four years ago) link
so much of this music has that effect! have you tried the DJ Neptizzle Amapiano Mix that longneck posted on the “Emcimbini” thread?

well holy crap, is this good enough to make me cry
― ooga booga-ing for the bourgeoisie (voodoo chili), Wednesday, 1 April 2020 20:13 (three years ago) link
who's the 1st guy singing? killed it
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 1 April 2020 20:32 (three years ago) link
That would be NaakMusiQ.
It’s an unfortunate choice of words though (not that you would have known), as the female singer on this, Nichume, committed suicide a year ago. I had heard about it, but didn’t realize it was her on this track until just now.
(to make matters worse, Mobi Dixon’s treatment of her -he was her label boss- apparently was a factor in this. damn, I wish I hadn’t known)
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 1 April 2020 21:20 (three years ago) link
ugggggghhh. Thanks for the info tho.
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 1 April 2020 21:29 (three years ago) link
so there's a "Mzansi House" playlist on Apple Music that seems to be all this sort of stuff. Is that just their name for the playlist or is that a recognized genre name?
― A True White Kid that can Jump (Granny Dainger), Wednesday, 1 April 2020 21:32 (three years ago) link
"Mzansi" stands for South Africa.
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 1 April 2020 21:35 (three years ago) link
to quote a Wikipedia quote:
"Mzansi is another black urban vernacular term popular with the youth and standing for South Africa."
― No mean feat. DaBaby (breastcrawl), Wednesday, 1 April 2020 21:40 (three years ago) link
thanks again! (I did do a brief google and only saw that it was an obsolete term for someone who yells)

new fiona and new sun-el single on the same day....we are not worthy

Mzansi means South, aka South Africa yes, you hear it in the popular expression "no chill in Mzansi".

The instrumental track and the singing do not really connect, I find.
― Nabozo, Saturday, 18 April 2020 12:18 (three years ago) link
it's perfectly pleasant but there's nothing to really elevate it to the level of his best work and a bit too understated even for him.
― ufo, Saturday, 18 April 2020 12:38 (three years ago) link
omfg this is exactly what we need right the fuck now.
It's going to take a lot to best an album as incredible and emotionally uplifting as Africa to the World. This track is lovely, and if the rest of the album is as good as this but not better I'll still be happy. He has a specific vibe that is just romantic and beautiful and does such an amazing job of giving me an "escape" and Uhuru still has that in spades.
