"Memories of Africa"

  • 16 years ago
A visual memory of Patrick Treacy's travels throughout East and Southern Africa. There are photos from Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, Zimbabwee, Malawi and South Africa. The music is Afrika/The Call of South Africa". It is the only neo-modal national anthem in the world, by virtue of being the only one that starts in one key and finishes in another. The lyrics employ the five most populous of South Africa's eleven official languages - Xhosa (first stanza, first two lines), Zulu (first stanza, last two lines), Sesotho (second stanza), Afrikaans (third stanza) and English (final stanza). Nkosi sikelel' iAfrika Maluphakanyisw' uphondo Iwayo Yizwa imithandazo yethu Nkosi sikelela thina lusapho Iwayo Morena boloka setjhaba sa heso O fedise dintwa le matshwenyeho O se boloke, o se boloke setjhaba sa heso Setjhaba sa South Africa South Africa...
