Spoek Mathambo - Mshini Wam


Umshini wami hatten wir letzte Woche als Titel des Kurzfilms von Die Antwoord aus Südafrika. Diese Aussage taucht immer wieder in alle möglichen Facetten auf.
Was genau dahintersteht, könnt ihr hier nachlesen:

Umshini wami, also known as Awuleth' Umshini Wami (English, Bring me my machine gun), is a popular Zulu language "struggle song" used formerly by members of Umkhonto we Sizwe, the military wing of the African National Congress during the struggle against Apartheid in South Africa. Most recently, the song is identified with the persona of Jacob Zuma, the current President of South Africa, and is often sung at rallies which involve him and his supporters, including the ANC Youth League.

In October 2006, the song was made available as a ringtone by Zuma's defence fund through its website. The song has gained controversy in 21st-century South Africa because of its association with the violence of the apartheid period, and is seen as misplaced by some people because of the misperceived rise in violent crime throughout the country since the beginning of the current multiracial order in 1994. In 2008, Zuma expressed displeasure at the singing of it by violent, xenophobic mobs.

Since the Jacob Zuma rape trial several more versions of this song have been made, as well as some containing lyrics of a satirical nature, such as a remix of the song created by See4 in which the song refers to a microphone rather than a machine gun[4]. The song is in Siswati and is called Umdzidzi wami (Bring my buttocks/ass) or Khawuleth umdzidzi wami. The song is popular in many shebeens and taverns in South Africa.
