RE: Presidents and First Ladies Trivia
Brilliant, Roger, it was Nelson Mandela who played JWB at the University of Fort Hare.
I hope you don't consider it too mean that I posted the question on this thread (I read the headline over and over! But it was not a too bad question at all, was it?). For reconciliation, you win an extraordinary movie recommendation: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=fFEgd08b7SY U-Carmen is a stunning adaptation of Bizet's opera Carmen, acted and sung by the South African theater company, Dimpho Di Kopane (DDK). Re-imagined in the modern world of South African pool halls, bars, courtyards and barracks U-Carmen tells the story of a cigarette factory-worker, Carmen, (Malefane) and her doomed love affair with a police sergeant. As the two grow more emotionally connected, their relationship escalates violently, culminating in a tragic conclusion of revenge and madness. The most fascinating is that the songs are sung in Xhosa language! Nelson Mandela was also a native Xhosa speaker. One of the most distinctive features of the language are the click consonants: http://m.youtube.com/watch?v=lrK-XVCwGnI |
