"Qongqothwane is a traditional song of the Xhosa people of South Africa. It is sung at weddings to bring good fortune. In the western world it is mainly known as The Click Song, a nickname given to the song by European colonials who could not pronounce its Xhosa title, which has many click consonants in it." (Wikipedia) If you enjoy international versions of popular shows, then you may have seen SIKI JO-AN sing South African singer Miriam Makeba's popular version of the song. She turned all four

Um'Khonde Patrick Habamenshi on Instagram: "Siki Jo-An performs Qongqothwane (The Click Song) during the Auditions of The Voice South Africa Season 3. The Click Song was made famous by Miriam Makeba in 1960. It is a native Xhosa wedding song for young girls getting married. It’s called The Click Song in English because many non South Africans can not pronounce the click sound. 🎥 @joan_siki"
