Lol. 'Lipala' is a traditional Luhya dance in Kenya. Isikuti.

[@PrianaTV]

Any history behind the song???

[@GloriousSoundMusic]

Historical introduction to Liphala Mohapeloa wrote Liphala in the late 1940s or 1950-51, publishing it in Morija in 1951 as the third of 5 songs in Khalima-Nosi tsa ’Mino Oa Kajeno: Harnessing Salient Features of Modern African Music. In the Preface, Mohapeloa claimed a ‘modern’ African direction for this volume, one that eschewed traditionalism and embraced what he called the ‘sartorial’ fashions of the youth. The youth in 1951 Lesotho and South Africa (especially around Johannesburg) were into jazz, mainly, and the modernity Mohapeloa alludes to is that of the popular music, dance and fashionable dress of the time. This was the youth for whom Drum magazine was founded, in the same year that this volume of songs came out, 1951. Vocal jazz was particularly popular at this time, and its syncopated punchy rhythms infuse Liphala. In one sense, then, this is a typical entertainment song from the African townships of the early 1950s. The word ‘Liphala’ is a plural noun meaning whistles, pipes, bugles, trumpets, or horns - any loud musical sounds used to summon people - and in reference to this song not to church or to entertainment, but to school. The text reinforces the importance of education for modern Africans such as Mohapeloa, key to not only professional success but social upliftment and political liberation. The song would have been sung all over southern Africa, as most of Mohapeloa’s songs were, and its message is hugely positive: schools are places of joy that one should look forward to going to - hence the summons to school ‘peperi …pepe’ (the horn call) that reverberates all the way through the song.
