Very nice video!

Title 'pot belly' certainly drew my attention but in a humorous way.

Da lyrics are simply DEEP!

Good thing that love is blind
cos beauty shd radiate from within and not just skin deep..not saying we musn't take care of our bodies.

Really loving songs from ya place Swazibella!! gd job.

I love songs from yr place too Essie! Have u heard Mzbel's latest? The rockas. U will just cry and die.

So I am really loving the pot belly vid. Its excellent, whoever produced it is happening big time. The issue with many African music vids is they are too busy, we want to capture all the action we can in 4 minutes, sometimes simple is lovely is beautiful is lekker is best! And this is the cutest example of it! Im really really loving.

Nice message too...hehe, Essie I agree, external beauty fades with time but inner beauty, strength, courage and grace will get you farther than skin will. And yes, like Becca, we must continue the gym process so that we can be cute and healthy as a bonus! Although, as long as you're in Africa doing housework and eating African food (organic ingredients, holla)..that shd come au naturel!

And u know what they say about African men... the roundness of yr pot belly is an indicator of social status. I dont mind eh!

Hey, wot title is Mzbel's latest?? cdn't find it.

I know u like kakayi by Kojo Antwi..
lyrics shd be up by saturday night exclusively for u hehe

About da pot belly of african men and status, well for some of them 'mese ɛyɛ yareɛ nkoaa..beer ɛne piito na ayɛ ne saa' hehe

I mentioned beer..shd give ya a clue wink wink

later eh!

Essie, Kakayi dey here o.

About the pot belly of African men, in addition to the beer, they sit in the office all day and eat fufu at every chance with almost no exercise. So they have the money to buy the beer, a nice job that requires them not to do 'much', and the ability to eat fufu whenever they want, comes with the status. :-)

..You're the best. Hmm, as for that beer...let us just say I am discerning what u mean, lol. but feela beer bellies were not what I meant now? my comment was in reference to "living well" bellies.

Kakayi lyrics are already on the site oo...lets see which other song u can dedicate for me, think abt it hard eh, i am not easy to impress! lol.

Mzbel ..check out her myspace, and get a sneak peak glimpsetonic lovelicious kissesmatic Odolastic atonementation of hotness happiness.

Swabella..have no clue aba how to please ya eh that was all i could offer hehe

oh i have heard those Mzbel's songs before.. they are great..thought she had come out with another one

hehe, Essie, we are stalking u dear :-)

But u people, this is tres exciting, I just came from out (english is my 7th language). Went to this bar/club thingamageegiddy and me I'm playing pool (correctly called Snooker) and I hear one of my fav Nameless songs come on. Did I not go crazy u ask? Yes, indeed. But not as crazy as when they played Agolo by A. Kidjo after that...more excited perhaps? yes o! But the grand finale is when I was leaving I heard African Queen! Not even my father's car can make a U-turn that fast.

Needless to say, I signed many autographs on this night :-)

I am pleased.

Aaww that sounds so gd and exciting!
I was there in spirit lol.
African music ROCKS!! U just can never resist any!! not even da shallow/crap ones.

That pot belly message is spot-on Chale!

this is so great i luv freshlyground
the video is also spectacular good idea by the maker

This is taken from their website:

"It was directed by the team of Mark Hofmeyr and Gwydion Beynon, with Angela Nemov as Art Director. Instead of a whole lot of people walking around with pot bellies, we wanted to convey the core message of the song (which is even though you have whatever you have, love will find a way) in a unique and fun way! We shot it down in Cape Town last month (in the studio and on Noordhoek beach - luckily it didn't rain!) and decided to let Zolani (aka Ms. Green) be the star, coz as we all know she's not only quite a good singer, but a trained actress too. We think she's amazing in the video, and stars alongside Johan Vermaak as Mr.Red ... although of course all that changes!"

:-)

I foresee both the vid and the song winning numerous awards next yr!

Zolani is a trained actress? I wonder in what movies, I want to see some. In fact, South African movies are really excellent, will like to see some of the post-Tsotsi ones. I have a feeling some may even be better so I am missing out. As for the video, nuff said, it was a great idea and the quality is top-notch.

I haven't seen her in any movies, but then again, I am deprived of the South African movie/tv scene. But from the looks of it, she seems to be a good actress! Talk about talent.

Freshlyground won best Afro-pop and Best group at the recent Metro FM awards. They also were set in line to perform at the 46664 World AIDS Day concert in Jozi, alongside tonnes of other great musicians, with Madiba in the audience. I want that tape!

congrats to freshlyground on the awards, i believe they will be winning some others this year too
thanks for the info swazibella

The man himself, Mr Madiba is turning 90 this year and a charity concert is being held (as they do annualy) in his honor. So far on the lineup I've heard about Freshlyground and the Spice Girls. Me what hole did they even parambulate from? To come out of a hole and sing for Mandela....okay....

Anyway Im sure that will be a banging concert in Jozi, and Im looking forward to seeing alot more artists from the continent!
