For those who have high speed Internet, here's some YouTube videos links for the song Shosholoza {btw, this word sound to me like it is pronounced "show-sah-low-sah"}

Swazi - Helmut Lotti - Shosholoza

Shosholoza sung as background to tourists' video of their trip to Swaziland.

{Question for Tia or for anyone: Is Shosoloza a Zulu song that the Swazi and other ethnic groups in South Africa, including the White people in South Africa also embrace and sing?}

Singing from her soul, Beaty leads an impromptu singing of "Shosholoza," a traditional Zulu song meaning "Go Forward.

This video may have been filmed in a shebeen and some of the singers may have been have more than water to drink, but I still think this clip captures the high regard these people have for this song.
