Asimbonanga/Biko

Tonight, I was reminded of a favorite memory.  When Kiddo was a little toddler, we listened to a lot of the Soweto Gospel Choir.  He liked to sing along, too, even though he didn't know what the words meant.  At the same time, he was going through a phase when he didn't understand why we didn't sing more in Sacrament meeting at Church, or why he couldn't request songs.  One Sunday, he was restless and being a little noisy, but we managed to distract him somewhat for a while.  Then, during a particularly quiet moment, he belted out, "ASIMBONANGA!!"  Of course, with all the children in our Church, many Sacrament meetings are noisy, but I wonder how many have been interrupted by a two-year-old singing a South African civil rights song.  :) Anyway, watch this video and see the Soweto Gospel Choir's amazingly beautiful rendition.
