I have listened to this CD hundreds, maybe thousands of times and it has never failed to make me happy. The most joyful, danceable music ever recorded, in my opinion. It is a great CD for kids and adults of all ages. I can't recommend it highly enough.

As always, the same great old Hit Machine splashing the hits.
You wanna be on the dance floor all nite long? then this is the one for you!
Batswana love you Oom Dan.Batswana love Splash and Dalom Kids.
KEEP ON DISHING GOOD MUSIC. WE WANNA BUY IT!

This is not my first time listening to this kind of music, but this album was pretty cool! I've always had a soft spot for the perculiar tempo/rhythm of my native African music, especially Makosa and South African pop. Despite feeling a *tad* bit repetitive, this album does not disappoint.

This album has a very light-hearted and upbeat tone (in no small part due to the strong yet jovial female voices on most of the vocals). Especially the track "Ditsala Tsami (My Friends)". I love that track! I also like "Cellular (The Marvel of Technology)". It's a fun song, and the title alone made me LOL! I especially like the song "Zwidofhela (Everything Will Be Alright)"... it made me FEEL.

I am really looking for their album "Izindunduma", which has a few really good tracks. If anyone can get it for me, I am willing to pay! Drop me a line please! proud2bgeek at hotmail dot com.

As is typical with this genre of music, most of the songs are VERY danceable. Fans of Makosa and Afro-Pop will feel right at home with this album. Check it out!

Don't underestimate these "kids"!Their singing is like Ladysmith Black Mambazo.It will remind you of Paul Simon's Grace Land.

Every song on this album is powerful,especially in their harmonious polyphony.Yes,it's a short collection,and this group seems to sadly have slipped into obscurity,but it has the power to move.There isn't any filler on this album.I think if I still had this album,it would move me to tears since their songs sustained me in difficult times.Their voices are amazing.

I, too, listen to this CD all the time! It always energizes me! Wish it didn't end and there were more albums available.

I picked this Cd up based on sampling the songs on Amazon.com, and I was not disappointed!! This is one of Putumayo's first collections and its a lot of fun. Its music from 2 different bands in South Africa that have inspirational lyrics( just look at the titles of the songs!) If you are tired of the same old, same old- try a little world music!! This album is pure joy and will make you want to dance. If you are a Caribbean music fan, I believe you will love this!!
