Khauleza (Live) Lyrics

We'd like pay tribute to the great Dorothy Masuka
Because without her we wouldn't have heard all those songs in the 40's and the 50's and the 60's that she wrote
Kutheni uzulu, Kutheni imali yam i pheleli ijwaleni, Nontsokolo. Just a endless row of songs. And because of her a whole lot of ladies from the townships and the rural areas came up with a Mbaqanga style, and as you know people like the dark city sisters, Intombi ezimnyama, Intombi zesimanjemanje, Intombi zesinqashiwe, Mahotela Queens, Miriam Makeba and the [?]. They all came from Dorothy Masuku, and we'd like to pay tribute to her with this song

But before we do that let me introduce the majitas to you:
On drums, from the North West Province, from Klerksdorp; Sello Montoedi!

[Drums solo]

On keyboards from Dube township, Johanessburg, Egoli, South Africa, SOWETO; Jabulani Arthur Mshengu Tshabalala!

[Keyboard solo]

On saxophone also from SOWETO, Rockville; Ngenekhaya Khaya Mahlangu!

[Saxophone solo]

On percussion, from Freetown, Seiraleone, West Africa, Francis Mane [?]!

[Percussions solo]

[Bass guitar solo]

And keyboards, from the North Western Province too, from Montshiwa, Mmabatho, Mahikeng

Wait, wait, wait! Let me say his name first. Mokhaetsho [laughs] it's a bit of a long name

And guitar and everything else, from Gaborone and Francistown, Botswana, John, Longwe, Blackie, Montsho, Selolwane!
