Pretty!! Proudly South African. She grew up poor in a rural township in Piet Retief and she and her parents could not afford singing lessons when she saw someone sing opera on TV. But she vowed to sing one day and here she is! One of the best voices South Africa has to offer. Muhle kakhulu mama Yende!!

@@alaalfa8839 AND (not 'but') I think if you know the culture from which the Rusalka folklore emerges, you know exactly why they can refer to a white face without any of the implied references to what other skin colors there are...as we have in our beautiful, multicultural Europe/planet Earth. The Rusalka legends were in western part of Russian Empire (Ukraine, in particular) and bordering Slavic regions. For many hundreds of years, at least, the settled people had pale skin tones, just as in Scandinavia, an evolutionary adaptation to northern latitudes where maximum absorption of sun's 'weak' rays was needed for strong bones to survive childhood. This, and countless other musical performances across cultural bounderies show, more than my words, that music (and dance) are universal to the human race.

Amazing, I love it! I think Czech can not be pronounced perfectly by anybody who is not a Czech (especially a hell of a word like "příbytky"), BUT it absolutely does not matter in this case because this woman has breathtaking voice. I hear just the voice and I have goose bumps. I feel a content of these words perfectly because they are so heartfelt. When I found this video I was a bit sceptic first (well, this lady doesn't look like a typical Rusalka) but when she started to sing, I knew in an instant she is perfect Rusalka. Děkuji.

@PetrHosek10 жыл бұрын
Slava Ivanov I don't think so. Or it depends on what you accept as quite good. Even Slovaks (our closest language relatives) struggle with ř. And the preposition v makes that part "v příbytky" hard to pronounce even for Czechs as there is a lot of consonants together. I don't think that Czech is unique in its difficulty, every language has its characteristic sounds that are extremely hard to learn.

Petr Hošek I didn't mean "perfect", of course, each language has it's difficulties. But generally, it's possible to sounds close (not the same) to native speaker. Your accent will be visible, but not awful, because most of the sounds and the same or similar and combinations of them is't so complicated for slavic languages. You just need to really control every word

At the Metropolitan Conservatory of Music in New York City, Antonin Dvorak saw to it that, for the first time, blacks would be admitted to study there. He not only appreciated the richness of American folk music and Negro spirituals, he socialized with and loved these students. One, William Arms Fisher, wrote Goin' Home to the largo of Dvorak's New World Symphony. How proud and moved Dvorak must be to hear Ms. Yende sing this aria from (as I am sure a loving God will allow)!
