P. Postman's new single

P. Postman (Percy Mukwevho) has released his latest single titled "I'm a legend". I got myself a copy this past weekend and I must say my expectations were very high when I bought the disc. Guess what! I'm not dissapointed at all, I got more than what I had expected. The boy is really a legend in the making. I can't wait for the full album which is scheduled for release early in 2012.

The disc has four songs, "I'm a legend", "Got you all ready", "Ndo enda" and "Ndo enda (Accoustic)". For enquiries you can contact P. Postman's Manager, Jah Major @ 083 7016 228 or fortune@rudebwoy.co.za

Ndi Vhone

Vhanwe vha tshila nga malofha a vhanwe

Vhanwe ndi vha vhusiku, ano maduvha na masiari vha vho dalela

Nyofho dzo dadza matshilo a vhana vhavho

Vha balelwa na u tahulela vhumatshelo havho

Khevha vhana vhavho a vha divhi ngoho kha lino

Vha piringedzwa mihumbulo nga vhenevha vhahulwane

Vhakegulu na vhakalaha vhashu a hu tshe na tshine vha tshilela

Zwi nga zwo pada zwa dzhena na kha vhone vhaswa

Ndivho ya vhutshilo i ngafhi, kani ri shaya ndivho

Kha shango leneli lo dalaho mashika

Murena nne ndi divha vhone

Vhanwe vha fa nga ndala, vhanwe vha la vha lata

Vhanwe ndi vha lufuno, vhanwe vha vhulaya zwi sina mulandu

Vhanwe ndi vha vhutali

Ndivho yone i vha fha maanda

Vha sa divhi vha liwa masiari tshivhangalala

Vha vhutali na matsilu vha dihwa nga Iwe Yahave

Nne ndi tou vha mufhiri wa gondo

Wa lowaho vha tsireledzwa nga mulayo

Wa loiwa wa amba wo pwasha

youth of today

It is hard if you ask me

For what the children need

Faded hopes and dreams

Reality wrecks havoc in their lives

But we know to fret not

Jah is who we trust

We are the youth of today

It is dread but we are never afraid

Let’s stand firm, unite and fight

The streets are not safe

Rest assured, Him never fail

Let them sin all them want

The battle’s already won

The yesterday’s bloodshed

One day brothers will be united

We are the youth of today

It is dread but we are never afraid

Let’s stand firm, unite and fight

Lost souls pine to reach home

In the darkness we fear to be alone

It is our land yet we live like slaves

They say we’ll dig our own graves

Children fear not

Jah is who we trust

We are the youth of today

It is dread but we are never afraid

Let’s stand firm, unite and fight

Mvalo dzo fa

Ndi matudzi na matula

Vhana a vha tsha tamba zwitaratani

A si ndila ya sathane

Na sa thanya ni do dzhena daka

Rine vhana ri zwithavhelo

Kani-ha ndi dzithabelo

Londotani thembele ya vhathu

Muthu u na tshifhinga tshawe

Mudzimu vho fara tshifhinga tshothe

Fulufhelo heli li ri ita vhakhethwa

Talifhani ni kuvhatedze vha ni tondaho

Vha do ni sumbedza ndila i tshidzaho

Ni songou dzula nga maswina

Tshifhinga a tshi gathi, rabelani Yehova

Mavhudzi anga haya a a mba zwinzhi

Mbilu ndi yone i ri fhaho vhutshilo

Kutshilele kwo khetheaho

Kuhumbulele ku vhe kukhethwa

Ni litshe u porana nga matombo

Rothe ri vhana vha Khotsi (Khosi)

Vhananga, ni kha di vhona naa?

Ni do fhela nothe nga u shaya ndivho

Ni songou didina nga zwi si na ndivho

Vha ni fha miloro vhe ni do tinya milingo

Muthu wa nama a nga si ni fhe vhutshilo

Vha fhedza vhabebi vhashu nga milimo

Ri tshi dzhena fhasi shango lothe ndi zwililo

Munwe na munwe

U na Mudzimu wawe

Arali ni tshi mpfuna

Arali ni tshi nthonifha

Ahuna tshine tsha konda

Ndi tshi aluwa

Ndi toda na vhana vha divhe

Mudzimu ndi ene Munei

Ngazwo ri sa tahelelwi

Mavhudzi anga haya a a mba zwinzhi

Mbilu ndi yone i ri fhaho vhutshilo

Kutshilele kwo khetheaho

Kuhumbulele ku vhe kukhethwa

Ni litshe u porana nga matombo

Rothe ri vhana vha Khotsi (Khosi)

Malondolo Our Venda Diva

The first track I heard by Malondolo was “Ndiadiphina” on Phalaphala Fm. I was taken aback by such a voice, full of energy and oozing confidence. Upon hearing the name Malondolo, I quickly browsed the net looking for this mesmerizing lady from the motherland. I was disappointed as I did not find anything worth reading about Malondolo except her facebook pages; something I hoped would be sorted shortly as it is extremely difficult to find information about our Venda artists on the net, and as that does not make it any easier to market themselves. I was excited when a few days letter Malondolo posted a website address (www.nambidzadevhula.org.za) where fans can obtain more information about her and other artists from the north. Enough about that, a few weeks ago I got my copy of Malondolo’s album beautifully titled “Ndi a livhuwa”.

This album is a must-have for all those looking for something fresh for the ear, while reminiscing about the good old days when people would just sing for the love of music. The album is a fusion of Venda traditional dance song, Jazz and Soul accompanied with such powerful voice from Malondolo.  The opening track on the album, “Zendekela”, surely will bring back lots of memories to many. The album has 10 beautifully done tracks. My personal favourite tracks from the album are “Thungununu nemulamboni”, “Wonderful joy” and the title track “Ndi a livhuwa”. Other tracks include “Sialala”, “Shavha mbevha”, Mathada” and “Iyo”. Malondolo, who is being hailed as the Queen of Tshivenda traditional music, is surely going places with her music, having been nominated for the 2011 edition of the SATMA awards. 

Malondolo’s album has been nominated in two categories, Best Ethno soul and Best song of the year for “Ndi a livhuwa”. This is a big achievement for this down-to-earth singer from Venda. It is a sign that she is headed in the right direction, and I for one cannot wait to see her career blossoming as I believe it’s only a matter of time before this time bomb explodes. Fans are urged to vote for Malondolo so she can bring the awards home.

To vote for Malondolo follow these easy steps.

Ndo vha ndi tshi' vha no poidza ndi rine vhatuku fhedzi
Murena a vha ri thuse ri tinye milingo heyi

Ndi tou sa pfa naa

Ndi tou sa pfa naa
