I'm Jamaican I have no idea what she's singing but this song give me goose bumps...🎉🎉🎉🎉❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@robertleobrown5656]

It is a South African wedding song that was originally performed by: Miriam Makeba *live in1963. copy & paste to see video> kzbin.info/www/bejne/qJvSaZtrprGji5I

[@swalters9772]

People complaining about the dead audience, and I'm just here glad to finally be able to enjoy a stage performance without the annoying crowd reactions ruining the flow.

[@GlendaClarke-ir2cd]

They're mesmerized!

[@sandrajones9365]

I told my daughter the same thing about another artist performance.I paid to enjoy a concert not rude people.

[@gaylenelson3490]

Yes!

[@Evemwas]

We people are used to cheering and clapping 😂😂😂😂. When these people respect her performance and want to hear every single word. The control on her voice is sooooo magical. Goosebumps all over.

[@dhare07]

She got a standing ovation in America so I'm guessing they feel she's being disrespected. I get it but silence isn't always meant as a negative gesture. Sometimes it is of the utmost respect. Like tasting something for the first time and savoring the EXPERIENCE. The end reaction was the honest one.

I'm impacted when an Afrikaner speaking Xhosa... Beautiful 🇿🇦 Greetings from Latin America

[@AndreiBerezin]

Xhosa is such a wonderful language. It was a pleasure to hear

Perioddd!!!

[@ioijiopjkiopjkp]

You just had to mention her skin color didn't you.

[@alicegauteng2358]

@@ioijiopjkiopjkp Yes! Because only Black women can sing in that language. And also only them have that sass.

[@ioijiopjkiopjkp]

@@alicegauteng2358 that's one of the most racist things I've heard. Congratulations on being a literal racist.

[@pamelakibwage7978]

The kind song that speaks to your soul and you feel your ancestors. I understand why the audience is quiet ❤️

[@imonlineshopper]

So grateful for the respectful audience - no clapping or cheering during Siki Jo-An's performance - respect other people's culture - not everyone needs to be noisily cheering to acknowledge a great performance. Love that song & so love Siki Jo-An

[@sherylbelovedsmith7679]

She is amazingly bold and beautiful. Apart from Miriam Makeba I have never heard of anyone else brave enough to sing this difficult song!

[@jegglemmerdet]

It shoudn't be difficult to a xhosa.

[@Mshuntas]

It’s probably just difficult cause you don’t speak the language

[@SlickWillyTFCF]

Just search "click song" and you'll find plenty of people singing it. My favorite is a video from Beyond Zulu TV.

[@kauimanera726]

Miriam Makeba reached us on a little remote island called Molokai in Hawaii During the 60’s. I remember the clicking and thought this was a trip!! Awesome.

[@khrys2624]

This stale ass audience just wasn’t hype enough for me or for her... she was delivering a whole ass performance. Go sis, GO!!

[@kofi_haven]

They were overwhelmed

[@LaDrayia04]

Thank you! My thoughts exactly

[@kelliecarter8376]

Right, just ridiculous, doesn't know true and beautiful music when its heard. I know if I was there I wouldn't be sitting in that old chair just looking, because I would be up dancing and looking in amazement. Her voice and the language is awesome. Love it.

[@lanikavann7018]

I was thinking the same... I was about to jump through my computer to be in that audience to enjoy the life she was giving me!!

[@EileenBeniest]

I agree! She was magnificent… couldn’t believe the lame audience!

[@ssho7481]

The soul cannot bask fully in the blessing being endowed if people are making noise. The audience is not dead, it is truly appreciative of a voice straight from heaven.

[@user-sm9ny9bm1z]

Her voice is absolutely amazing, can't wait for the words to translated to ENGLISH..... Sankofa

[@mfundomgwaba4602]

Sis over delivered for this audience

[@zozibiningqula3316]

That was good

[@michaeldenisco6254]

She is unbelievable.

[@noracawley4213]

How lovely to hear a male voice singing this beautiful song.

[@unknownvoice445]

She is out of this world! Awesome! That crowd was total dead!

[@Adrienne21B]

Right that audience was wack!!

True.

[@lanikavann7018]

HAHAHA right!

[@hazeb372]

What a strange audience. I thought I was watching a sea of corpses. Mind you I did see one excited person clapping. Just to add she was magnificent.....loved her performance and I would deffo have been rocking it🥳.. UK.x

[@josephinemadolobergquist7325]

I need to see her one day, I’d probably pass out from just her presence but damn I need to hear this live in person

[@The_fax_store]

I have rarely been so proud to be African. God bless you!!!

[@liamthomas4644]

Chills, Bro. What a powerful presence she holds. So proud to be a South African

[@freshdesign2026]

Then get a south african name then... Thomas is surel not a xhosa name or the like...

[@Genshi-yw1rc]

She makes me Proud to be a black South African woman. And I’m a white Scottish man

[@jacqwerner7919]

One thing I can say about the audience yeah they did look kind of mesmerized maybe people are looking at it the wrong way I know that if I paid the money to go there I'd want to hear every single sound she made and I would be upset if people were being loud and I couldn't hear her. Maybe that's what was going on because I know just watching it on screen I couldn't move she hypnotizes you it is amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@zusibone]

There is no life in there do your thing Sisi. What a Majestic performance to the entire world. Wow. Extraordinary!

[@jegglemmerdet]

And all white

[@Flutella123]

Bloody hell, that audience what the actual hell. On another note! That was beautiful. I absolutely love her and this song. I never get enough of it. Always manages to give me goosebumps even though I don't understand it.

[@martasotelo7607]

Ni falta que hace entenderla ,que vos, que vos ,se erisa la piel y faltan palabras

[@oscarrojas9003]

She is beyond amazing! Such as incredible energy and performance wasted on that souless audience. If I ever see Siki performing live. I will break my fingers applauding at the end of her show.

[@ambangmongo2888]

Singing this good and dancing the same time is extremely hard, yet she did it beautifully, I just love it ❤❤❤❤❤

[@sexy7one]

Baby, she is working that microphone!

[@whisperofwisps93]

Absolutely speechless the song speaks volumes of history culture art and beauty and love and marriage! Also to the audience quite comments. In other countries I’m Europe,Africa, and South America it’s actually rude to cheer over the singer because they feel the art is supposed to be absorbed and then you can let out your feelings of admiration at the end! Sometime a cheer can last mins after a song has finished ! Anyway she is phenomenal and the Late Miss Makeba was a legend!

[@mads4it555]

It's great not to have the audience screaming over a performer's voice for a change. It's brilliant to be able to enjoy a performance without it! Thank god they respect the amazing sounds enough to actually listen!

[@franciscoalbertoberroamari6190]

The control of her voice!!!!!!!!❤

[@Lila-BeamMeUpAlready]

Why would you scream shout when absorbing this beauty of a performance, the audience is enjoying

This is beautiful, the song, the click, the culture, darn, I wish I was there watching her! Mood boosted!

[@jacqwerner7919]

I just discovered Miriam Makeba and her click song that she sang back in the 60s learned about her activism in South Africa against apartheid and how they banned her from her country and she couldn't even go to her own Mother's funeral what a beautiful woman oh my goodness the things that she had to go through is just unbelievable. I wish they would teach these things in our kids school so that we could look up to these people as Heroes and find examples of ways that we should be in our own lives how we should respect others and stand up for what is right and that's what she did she was known way more than just for the click song she was a hero!!!

[@fritanielschmuling1580]

This audience was underserving! It is no homage at all to sit there with arms folded when such epic vibes pour out of the throat of a single performer. Ugh!!!! My apologies, Queen Siki

[@gillkati6294]

Not only has she got stage presence and she can sing, she is a very attractive woman. I’m 75 years old and I’ve enjoyed this way of talking since I was about 4. I lived in a place called Swaziland surrounded by South Africa, I went to boarding school in South Africa, I lived in Africa for 18 years and I would sit and listen to these people speaking the clicking language, we called it Kwella, it was probably wrong, they used to talk it so fast making different clicks with their tongue, absolutely fascinating, being only a little kid, sometimes they would look at me and speak in whispers. I’m sure they used to think I understood the language, but I’m afraid I didn’t, I just enjoyed listening to it.
