The song is a throwback to one of Caroline's older compositions, "Mmamodiehi", a hit 1969 single by Izintombi Zomoya.Nick Lotayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621767959025327179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400063036260543724.post-20877175888198242592015-08-25T19:09:01.210+01:002015-08-25T19:09:01.210+01:00Nearly 4 years late catching up :-)
Unfortunately...Nearly 4 years late catching up :-)<br /><br />Unfortunately, track 2, "Mmamodiehi O Kae?" didn't come with the download, but, not to worry, was able to capture it via YouTube. <br /><br />My one remaining challenge is to find out who wrote it?<br />Williamhttp://thejukeboxrebel.wikidot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400063036260543724.post-17143155719133948602011-10-03T01:36:45.966+01:002011-10-03T01:36:45.966+01:00ThanksThankslemonflaghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16591381076744576088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400063036260543724.post-85395018469797799522011-10-01T11:54:37.351+01:002011-10-01T11:54:37.351+01:00Hi John,

Interestingly, the early 1980s seems to be dominated by Sotho and Pedi language material (of which this LP is but one example), with only a few Zulu singles and albums made during this time!Nick Lotayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06621767959025327179noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7400063036260543724.post-62755585147939326562011-10-01T01:42:55.681+01:002011-10-01T01:42:55.681+01:00This is interesting.
