Khutala Bo (Bafana Bafana) • Leon Schuster

So, there's a shtickel story behind this post. The short version is that in the lead up to the 2010 World Cup hosted by South Africa, a famous South African comic actor (Leon Schuster) released this anthem. Here at my place of work, we were thinking up names, slogans and mood words for what was eventually named The Great Parade 5770. In many ways, this festive, driven, brightly-shot music video helped us find the North Star in naming and promoting that event.

Recently, Chana Z.-C., with whom I worked at the time, informed me that this anthem did not exist at all in the archives of SSY. At alllllllll!

Joy, power and brotherhood are all great ways to go into Shabbos.

{{{Watch the greatness here.}}}

Also, our Erev Shabbos stream starts now on {{{WEBB - The Shabbos Mix}}}. Listen and suggest songs and feel free to chat on the sidebar.

Good Shabbos!
