About the Work

Performed for many generations, Tshotsholoza is often referred as the "unofficial" anthem of SouthAfrica. This song of freedom was sung by the ancient miners who.toiled in the South African diamondand gold mines, and by those celebrating Nelson Mandela's release from prison. Furthermore, it wasincluded in the soundtrack from the Oscar-nominated movie "Invictus," and most recently, it served asSouth Africa's 'battle-call' at the 2010 World Cup. With this in mind, Tshotsholoza should be performedwith immense feeling; yet, should also convey a sense of hope. The work can be performed veryeffectively as a processional by utilizing a "step right, touch left; step left, touch right" pattern. Includedin the score are suggested rhythmic patterns for the congas and djembe. Encourage your drummers tobe creative; however, they must always keep a steady pulse.

This edition is an adaptation of the 2005 TTBB version. The text is a mixture of the Zulu and Ndebeledialects and basically means: "Go forward, go forward on those mountains; the train is coming from SouthAfrica. You are running away on those mountains; the train is coming from South Africa." A pronunciationguide is as follows:

Tshotsholoza = SHOH-shoh-Ioh-zah (silent "t")Ku lezontaba = Koo leh-zohn- TAH-bahStimela siphum'e South Afrika = STEE-meh-Iah (close to "rn") see-POO-meh South AH-free-kahWen' uyabalekah = WHEN-you yah-bah-LEH-gah ("k" pronounced like "g" as in gun)
