You can feel Fela's Spirit re-living on this tune.  Siyabonga kakhulu Gxabhashe for this wonderful piece.

This is African Contemporary Jazz at its best for me and also internally recognised music

Nduduzo Makhathini you are talented and may the Lord give you more.

I listen to your music from my work computer because i'm addicted to your well brewed music, unfortunately i have been to music stores but i can't find Listening to the Ground.

Nicky B banged this yesterday at Connecting the Dots with DJ Spinna, place went alight. A truly magnificent jam!

Power to women

wo i i wa wa ho i ho ho mh mh

There’s a place where I must be
Over the rainbow there’s a place for me
Wallowed in self-pity too long
Woke up and the morning train was gone

Felt the chains pulling me down
All the way down deep underground
Saw my heros dropping yeah yeah
Lethargy set in like disease


Troubled soldier in the know
Burdened by the future passed
Fighting fighting we’re all fighting 
For a chance under the sun


There’s a chance we aught to be
Deadened by the future passed 
It’s all in the choices we make
Will we swim or will we drown

It’s the crunch that makes us see
What we are and what we’re not
It’s the crunch that makes us see
What we are and what we’re not


Troubled Soldier

Ndiyakulilela
Uhlala njalo
Ulidini
Ngamany’ amaxesha
Ndiyohluleka
Ukuzibamba


Ti tiki ti tiki, Yombela tiki tiki tiki tiki
Wo tiki tiki, Yombela tiki tiki 


Noma libalele
Ahlal’ eduduma
Mazulu
Aduduma
Noma libalele
Kuthen’ angani kungani
Ngathi kufanel’ inyembezi
Emehlweni akho
Mayin’ imvula
He he he 
Mayine mayine


Noma sendilele
Hayi azipheli
Ndilele nazw’ inyembezi
Noma sendilele
Noma sendilele
Ludakumbile
Uncumo lwam
Maziwele phantsi
Ine imvula
Mayine he he he


Mayin’ imvula
In’ izichotho

*Let the rain fall, first from your eyes. Dignify your pain and you will find your purpose.*

Mayine

“I stand with you when your world crumbles. Loving you makes a hero out of me”

Sifun’ ukujabula
Maqhawe
Sifun’ ukujabula
Bambaneni maqhawe bambaneni


Xa umhlaba 
Jikeleza
Ndimi nawe
Xa amehlo
Ephenduk’ itye
Ndimi nawe
Xa ubumnyama sebufikile
Ndimi nawe
Nawe he e e he e e


Mahla ndinyuka
Phantsi phezulu
Hamba nawe
Wandenz’ iqhawe
Ngobukho bakho
Ndithanda wena
Sobabini
Thina sobabini
Sesihlezi phezu 
Kwemithwalo yethu
Ha ha ha 
Ha ha hahahahayi
He


(Aphin’ amaqhawe)
Thina sesifuna ukujabula
Aph’ amaqhawe


Mntwan’ elanga
Hayi
Uyinkazimulo yhe
Buso belanga
Hayi
Uyinkazimulo
Emphefumlweni
Uyinkazimulo


Ndimi Nawe

Iya ho hi hele haya hoyo
Iya ho 

I hi hele haya haya haya 

He iyo iyo iyaho 


Yenza njalo Zandisile
Ndibek’ ithemba lam kuwe
Ndibonile Zandisile
Ongeke ukubone wena

Sesidlulil’ enzulwini
Nethambeka liyehlela
Zukhumbule Zandisile
Nguwe nguwe ilifa lam


Uzowuwela  lo mlambo
Uthathe ndakuphelelwa mna
Ngamaqhaw’ angehlulwa nto
Uliqhawe iqhawe lam

Zumamel’ ekuthuleni
Isand’ esokuqondisa
Zu zungakhonz’ inyembezi
Amandla nguw’ ungazideli
