Something Wonderful
Oliver Mtukudzi & Ladysmith Black Mambazo
Neria, a beautiful song performed by some of my favorite South African musicians.
Enjoy a peaceful evening.
I added the translation for those who are curious. It’s a song of tenderness and compassion for a newly widowed woman, It’s also an insight into the universal nature of human love.

Love the lyrics. This is a keeper.
Listening to this a day later than you posted it. I had an exhausting day today, but this refreshed me. I’d love a translation of this. It is most soothing. Thank you, Switter.
