Hallo Hive Open Mic Comunity. My name is Marelize and I am from Cape Town, South Africa
Seeing that fellow South African @Jasperdick already did a great cover of our beautiful National Anthem https://ecency.com/hive-105786/@jasperdick/nebtqjwy#@marelizezeeman/re-jasperdick-20221012t13642982z
I decided to cover Shosholoza, our informal National Anthem. 🇿🇦
Anyone South African that experienced the Rugby World cup in 1994 will have fond memories of this song. It was the theme song for our country when SA brought the World cup home. It symbolized unity for our beautiful rainbow nation with all her different cultures and races.
I first recorded my piano accompaniment on my keyboard in the first video and then I recorded the melody on the violin in the second video.
I hope you enjoy it!
"Shosholoza" is an Nguni song that was sung by the mixed tribes of gold miners in South Africa. It is a mix of Zulu and Ndebele words, and can have various other South African languages thrown in depending on the singers. It was sung by all-male African workers that were performing rhythmical manual labour in the South African mines in a call and response style. The song is so popular in South African culture that it is often referred to as South Africa's second national anthem.
In contemporary times, it is used in varied contexts in South Africa to show solidarity in sporting events and other national events to relay the message that the players are not alone and are part of a team."
