This is the unknown grave
The one who died maintaining his might
His will being so strong and musically inclined
His sad melodies coming out like smoke from the woodfire
And he sang:
Mayibuye iAfrica!
Sing now, Africa
Sing loud, Sing to the people
Let them give something to the world and not just take from it.

[Chorus:]
And we'll ring the bells when you come back...
We'll beat the drums when you come back home.
We'll ring the bells when you come back...
We'll beat the drums when you come back home
We'll ring the bells when you come back
We'll beat the drums when you come back home

Our lost African music, will turn into the music of the people
Yes the people's music, For the people's culture
And I'll be the one who'll climb up the mountain
Reaching for the top of our Africa dais
While the poor women working for the lazy lord sing!

[Chorus:]
Africa Sing! Africa Sing!
Sing Sing Africa! Sing Sing Africa!
Let this illusion of memory be over from the people's minds and souls

Our lost African music, will turn into the music of the people
Yes the people's music, For the people's culture
And I'll be the one who'll climb up the mountain
Reaching for the top of our Africa dais
While the poor women working for the lazy lord sing!

[Chorus:]
Africa Sing! Africa Sing!
Sing Sing Africa! Sing Sing Africa!
Let this illusion of memory be over from the people's minds and souls

[Chorus:]
And we'll ring the bells when you come back... (When you come back)
We'll beat the drums when you come back... (When you come back)
We'll ring the bells when you come back... (When you come back)
We'll beat the drums when you come back... (When you come back)
We'll ring the bells when you come back... (When you come back)
We'll beat the drums when you come back... (When you come back)
[repeat until the end]

Then they would produce sounds at a frequency only dogs can hear I guess :'D

That's generally the crescendo of a lot of popular rock tunes.  How do you think Roger Daltrey reached that note in "Baba O'Reilly", or Robert Plant did so in "Stairway To Heaven"?  There was a designated "cobblers kicker" who worked with a lot of bands back then.  I forgot his name, but there's a book about the guy.

Ohhh damn i grew up to this song, my parents played it on the campsite when we were on holidays.. Today i heard it again, finally understanding the message of it and still in love with this piece of art <3

Didn't catch this track but am familiar with the artist having one of his CDs and haven seen him and met during a meet and greet post show. 
Very pleasant fellow  and a true joy to listen to.
So glad to see him getting "air" play

Quite interesting to read the comments on this one. Those having a problem with exposure to Africa might benefit from taking note that (a) Dave Matthews was also born in South Africa and (b) performs with Vusi on occasion. And I don't just mean on DMB's 'Everyday'; I mean Vusi's "Sower of words".

Marvelous artist; great song!
I find myself switching between the (orphaned) beta player and the 320 bps AAC stream, because said beta player often just cuts out on me in a maddening fashion. I saw that a beautiful piece was "now playing." Got a different song when I opened the beta player, so quit the player and opened the 320 stream to discover (1st listen) this wonderful track! Instant 9. Like a divinely guided or randomized  PSD... 
I love RP!

According to Keith Richards' bio, The Stones went on tour with the guy during the 80s and that is why, even today, Mick walks the way he does.

I wish I could remember the guy's name.

I agree; this is African pop more than anything.  It's actually the music South African Airways plays over its PA system while boarding passengers.  I flew back n' forth to Jo'burg a few times last year and always recall enjoying the tune as I packed myself into economy class for back2back 8-9 hour flights.

I have to agree, this was a different song, but have heard it way way too much here, to the point where the more I hear it the lower the rating goes. I am down to a 2 now it has been played so much.

An exceptional skewering of Mr. Simon's musical stripmining techniques can be had at the web site of folk musician John Forster: https://www.johnforster.com/FUSION.html (Note, however, that you really need to listen to the song. Some of the gags are in the music.)

Come on, now, the guy's got a great voice. What in particular don't you like about his voice on this track? The melody? The tremolo? The falsetto? The accent? This is a good song, but definitely not the best on the disc, in my opinion. I also prefer "Silang Mabele" to this CD.

How can that statement be interpreted as anything but bigoted! It's obvious to anyone who reads such a comment that he is harboring a deep prejudice against all lions. He probably thinks any animal with thicker hair around the neck area can all be lumped into the same category. There is no room for that here in Paradise man...we view all animals equally!

The comment was actually written with a whole history of this particular poster's cheap shots in mind. Intolerant of other cultures certainly. Bigoted ? On the face of this comment, unproven, but it would likely get a laugh from bigots as well as folks who simply don't care for "The Lion King".

This is a great tune and if you tired of "Lion King" music, maybe you should delve a little deeper into the long heritage of African music before dismissing it all so nonchalantly.
