Descripción de Quite a White Ou - Ndingumlungu - Original Version:

Dedicated to Nelson Mandela, whose legacy is being wasted or exploited by most influential South Africans, this highly camouflauged marketing for UBuntu Bridge, a Xhosa and Zulu language Training Company (http://www.learnxhosa.co.za), is also the breakout track from the freshest crazy, pissed-off Xhosa white boy in eMzantsi (South Africa), QUITE A WHITE OU (or QAWO, and the Q is a click!). "Ndingumlungu" means "Im a white ou". The lyrics and visuals challenge racial stereotypes, whilst trying to teach people valuable phrases whilst still learning to speak Xhosa. The chorus for instance is: Ndisafunda isiXhosa (Im still learning Xhosa) Ndithetha kancinci. (I only speak a little) So Khawuzekelele (So Please talk slowly) xa uthetha nami (when you speak with me) The track's lyrics and translations can be learnt in the "Learn the Lyrics" video (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ogoLeUj2Y2U). Or scroll down more ..... NEWS: QAWO has been extremely silent since the track's release in September 2011. But next level coming soon.
