This song haunts me every time there is unrest in Africa. I live for the day Africa will lead from love and not fear. Love is such a healing balm and a powerful force. Africans are so beautiful. Can we just embrace love and acceptance? I have been playing this song on repeat. I've held that stick in her hand and this makes me feel plugged into her spirit that lives on.

[@cinnamoncinnamon8105]

How did you get hold of that stick in her hand? What is the story? She was great talent... May she rest in peace 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏😘🥰😘

[@jeromelubabalojacobs8872]

@@cinnamoncinnamon8105 She was almost entranced on stage and came to the edge, sang to us and I was sitting front row. She put the stick down and left it there. I got on stage picked it up and gave it to her. I was just entranced coz I would not do such a thing ordinarily. I miss her energy on stage.

Busi was one of the main singers in the SA world. Being first impressed by Paul Simon, Black Lady Mombaso and Acapella Zimbabwe choruses my ear bounced on Busi voice. She moved me to tears and always did later on as well. Really regrettable that she did leave us in Mid June after a longer illness, A real loss for SA, May you rest well, Busi

what an eloquent way to put it. Her voice evokes the same emotion in me.

[@friesiamans1966]

it´s true and it´s sad that we lose so much, it´s direct contact to mother earth herself - i got to know traditional african music during the 70s when i bought a special record on a flea market - at first i could not understand the music at all, but as i was young and curious i kept listening - by and by i began to love this record and it has a special place in my heart until today - now i found it here on youtube... let me recommend one song to you - as youtube seemingly doesn´t allow me to send links, i give you the path, ok? if you copy and paste this into the youtube search, you should find it - it has a black cover with a drummer playing: "monkey d. sound kenya - masai women" i hope you enjoy and i send love and greetings
