Wara is on guitar, mouth organ, and voice, Ongx guitar and voice. Get ready for the revolutionary lyrics of Fela Kuti, the guitar skills of Bob Marley, and the powerful voice of Howlin Wolf
Ohoh – Mano Dibango, the Cameroonian legend – we’re proclaiming ohoho in all its forms so when you hear the band, you have some forms for your expression of wonder
good morning, its morning somewhere in the world all the way from the united states of Khayelitsha, looking to give more Khayelitsha Blues, that’s what we’re promising, that’s what you’ll get
The meaning of the song is I missed the train from Gugulethu, Wara & Ongx talking about being married, but not to each other, next one is Charter Freedom, 1955, June 26th
oooh, Kliptown, June 26th, 1955, what a day, when our leaders came together and presented a piece of paper, that we call it Freedom Charter, a means of liberating us
Warongx band is all about taking out the mental slavery, those who came to our gig in Observatory know that we are away with Afrophobia, we are not into complaining, we are into doing things. We’re playing in Gugulethu on Friday for a 21st Anniversary. Warongx is started a music school, looking for funds from the community to make One Love
