Quirky and funny and quite lovely. "Mamma mia" becomes "Mama wami". I also like the mbaqanga style guitar work as conversation with the original. Zulu steam punk moments, or something like that.

Afrikaner "refugees from genocide" in the US? Here I am, an Afrikaner, at the graduation ceremony of the University of Fort Hare, South Africa's oldest Black university. On stage is an Afrikaner dean. The crowd is singing an Afrikaans song in celebration of their degrees. Genocide? I think not.

The band has a new video for an old song (from 2022) made from a very, very old movie (from 1925). We have a bit of an old movie obsession right now. The lyrics are in Afrikaans, comical take on a confident guy who gets his ass kicked by a dom.

I loved doing this story with a trade union veteran about the crucial and massive 1986 May Day stay away in South Africa.
We also had lots of laughs, including at the expense of a self-important mall security boss.
