Ntyilo Ntyilo “Little Bird” (Allan Mzamo Silinga): Sheet music, original Xhosa lyrics and English translation:

I heard a sound from the bush.

I looked up, I drew near.

The sound I heard was

Ti, li, ti, li, ti, li.

Ntyilo, Ntyilo, Ntyilo.

That melody was beautiful.

I heard the voice from the bush

1 looked up, I drew near.

The voice said:

‘ There is trouble in the land .’

Tra-la-tra-la.

That melody was beautiful.

The owner of the voice

Was dressed in white robes.

The owner of the voice

Was dressed in red robes.

the words were

Tra-la, tra-la, tra-la.

The melody was beautiful.

The Boer & The Bulgar: Tango Duo Concert & Milonga

These 2 musicians have worked together for over a decade on different stages in different countries.

In this show they will explore their cultures and their interests, centering around the Tango Music which they have been performing together for over a decade. They will perform Tango music from both their cultures, Bulgaria and South Africa, and there will be space on the stage for Tango Dancers to take the stage. So if you are a Tango Dancer, bring your dancing shoes along, and if you are simply interested in watching, you can have a drink and relax and enjoy the sights.

The idea for this show came during their tour to Germany where they performed in the prestigious Leipzig Gewandhaus, and performed in Tango Clubs in Berlin, Leipzig and Tubingen.
