Ikati - Condry ziqubu

South African Hits of the 80s

[@user-xo8pk1gw9j]

The way am in love with south African old songs but thanx all

[@abdulkiryowa]

It's funny how am a Muganda from Uganda and understand almost 70% of this song, this language is so similar to mine the words are almost the same

[@moraletooane8980]

I was born in 95 but there is something unique about tge 80s. Seem like everything was pure and the music is best and no vulgar or drugs just good rhythm and melody

[@Sammie551]

I was born in 1996 I used to hear these songs until the age of 8

[@sultanmadhani6828]

Internet never forgets

[@likombalost8391]

I have been listening to this song since I was a boy. It was yesterday when I knew what it saying. "The cat has eaten my meat".

[@princermjuuko8827]

Growing up on the streets of Kampala, Uganda. This hit graced our air waves... As a youngman life was sweet... now life is very different its all about hussle and survival....

[@suzanibafazi8661]

It must have been HUGE from South Africa to Uganda especially since Africa 🌍 is low in media connection.We don't always see 👀 what's happening in our continent but know a lot more about what's happening abroad.

[@user-bn2er3dz5h]

Reminds me of Music Africa program on UBC😊

[@Lifesido]

[@richardbusinge9494]

I dedicate this song to my little brother who passed on very young. This is to you my brother paul Okema. May you continue to live well in tge bosom of the lord . I love you.

[@TheTjitji]

Hey 80 was bad, there was a smell of teargas all over even in class, we used to have soldiers guarding every school in Soweto and many students disappeared from the face of the Earth...the likes of Stanza Bopape, Mbuyani.....etc.

[@user-bn2er3dz5h]

At times it's difficult to understand how they managed to produce such memorable songs amid grand scale apartheid policies.

Condry ziqubu is the legend in South African music.i like the drum beats and that mild touch of african drums.1990s music was superb but now days music is all about making fame and money but not entertaining like the oldies music ones of 80s to late 200s.

We used to like this in 90s and early 2000s Only legends didn't let it go in vain.

[@lukungu075]

I used to sneak into Odians Cinema in Jinja just to watch this song as an introduction. Sometimes the askari made us clean the hall before people entered as we watched that music on the big screen projectors. On Idhi day my mum used to give us money to go to Odians and watch Chuck Norriss, Bad Spencer, Clint East Wood, Bruce Lee, Ninja, Drunken Master, Disco Dancer by Amita Bachan etc. RIP mum and my cousin Karim Hajj.

ikati has eaten the meat, this waved deeply in my head for long sometimes way back in the 1986 or 87. Nyama yane? Yearning to get to know what was all about! yelele banando! tso lo yaktinile, .... yelele banando!, tso lo yakthinile. what a niece reminder of that piece of music in itself!

[@katojo9247]

From East Africa and surely after listening to this song, its true Bantu people migrated from South Africa

[@xhalanga]

not South Africa but West Central Africa. We headed South and you guys East hence there's some similarities in our languages. From the song the word nyama (for meat) is the same in all Southern African languages including Burundi, Rwanda and Congolese Lingala despite being spelt differently in others such as niama in Lingala.

Takalane Mathebula kwaito music

[@yahneh7919]

It's South African Bubblegum music. Perhaps the most famous artist of such a genre was Brenda Fassie. This is music from the 80s, it was followed by Kwaito in the 90s. Some of the most famous Kwaito artists include Mandoza, with the crossover hit song Nkalakatha.

We refused the label Bubblegum because we found it desparaging and instead called it Disco Music
