Greetings noble sons and daughters of the soil, There's been talk in the not so distant past (I think in the month of February 2015 if I'm not mistaken) about Africa's National Anthems holistically which I concur with unreservedly. The aesthetic listener finds them to be classical with no African flare whatsoever, and that's true. A bit of Congo or bonga drums would have worked for me, infusion of kora or marimba would have definitely added the requisite African taste. If I juxtapose them with European ones, which most are bellicose, I find it ironic since classical music is theirs. They dance to their music with eyes closed, women hold their uncles too close pricking them with their breasts, knees touch knees, then uncles would put hands in their pockets afterwards and women would look like guinea fowls when sweat runs down their faces followed by an excuse to go to the loo "To powder their aquiline noses." They dance like Dracula, but their Anthems are undoubtedly pugnacious. Our Anthem (South African) is pathetic, we even seek intervention from what prof. Pitika Ntuli calls "An imaginary god," he says "Die Stem" makes more sense than it, I fully concur unconditionally.
