Hi Franz,
the intentation of the lyrics are not so much the focus on the problems of Apartheid. The idea was to descripe the "normal life" of this family an their characters (Peter and Ouma). We don't know who was responsible for the bomb (could be a criminal gang, old Apartheid fanatics..) It happens 1995 in a new secure area of Johannesburg after Peter and his family moved from Soweto in a new house.

The message are:
1. That's the way of life of Peter & Ouma
2. It doesn't matter where you live your normal life - there is always a violence around the corner.

Sorry if the lyrics are not clear enough - I personally think you could also leave out the "bomb thing" totally.

Siyabonga, Dieter

Hi JustUns,
the music is great of "Ouma" - I love it. I have some suggestions for the lyrics: the "running gag" of the lyrics - and that's very typical for Peter Mbelengwa and Ouma" is the saying:"Mblengwa where do you have your cigarts and Mblengwa I fear, you drink to much beer". There is an orginal audio from Ouma, recorded by Lucky Thobela (on his page) - maybe you could integrate it in the song and change a bit the chorus? - However, siyabonga!!!

Best regards, Dieter

Hi JustUns,
Monica sounds very different to all versions before - great idea and a very interesting song. Siyabonga - until Friday!!!

Dieter

Hi,
never thought that "Monica" could be so funny. Great song!
;-) Andreas

Wow, "Symphonic Dubliners"!

Great sound, great experience. I'll be waiting till it will become the Dolby THX Cinema trailer for "Sawubona - The Film" (if not already planned, someone should start immeldiately, 'cos the song somehow demands it).

The audience is listening!

:-) Carsten (-:

Hi JustUns, "Good Hope" is absolutly a great song!!! I really like it and think this is much more as a great version - I play it again and again!!!
(:--))))!!!!!

Siyabonga - maybe we have a chance to meet us personally. Maybe on Friday afternoon/evening this week (14 August) - pls. let me know if you have time?

Thanks and best regards,
Dieter

HI JustUns,
