Azizip17- @singjar also is this song's rhythm traditional? It sounds a lot like reggae to me. Does anyone else think that? And is Enyabumba the title or the name of the singers? Would you or someone else please post in English what title means & what the song is about?Thanks!

singjar- @Azizip17 this is definitely not reggae lol. They used a rhythm from
south-africa, zulu style (its very popular). The title is enyabumba.
I understand just a bit. it is definitely a love song. the guy is telling her
that she is beautiful, and has calf eyes.
It is nice that ure american and interested in african culture

****
Azizip17- @singjar -Thanks for that response! Is the South African rhythm called "Zulu style"? I think Reggae sounds a lot like it. Does anyone else think that?

****
Azizip17-@singjar, thanks for the information about the language the singers use. I looked it up online and found that "Runyankore is part of an East & Central African language spoken by various ethnic groups in Southwestern Uganda,as well as by other people in Tanzania, the Congo, , Burundi and Rwanda". I'm guessing that "Munyankore" is the ethnic group name. Is that right?

****
singjar-@Azizip17 lol not really. In Uganda there are 40 different languages.
Runyankore is a language spoken in south-western uganda, by the
Banyankole people. The languages in the south of uganda, are
mutually intelligible, from 80 to 20 %. I am from Rwanda,
neighbourcountry in the south. And I can understand around 40% of
Runyankole. An other southern ugandan language called Rukiga,
I understand around 80% maybe more.

Azizip17- @singjar: a comment below from ellyakanga
is "great song. give me a munyankore...no one beats this kind of
music..."  I'm respectfully asking what does "munyankore" mean?
