00:00Hey, Essence family, it is Makon Javu and today I'm at the MTV Africa Music Awards.
00:10So excited. A lot of the performers that are performing at Essence Durban are here tonight.
00:14So we're going to give you a little preview on what you're going to get in Durban.
00:18How do you say hello, how are you in Zulu for an Essence audience that is getting familiar with the language?
00:24How do they?
00:26Hello.
00:28How are you?
00:29I think the very, very traditional Saboana.
00:32Sabuzera daso manyora.
00:35That's what you say.
00:36What does that even mean, bro?
00:37That's like saying what's up.
00:39Saboana means hello. Namge negile means welcome.
00:44If you want to say hi in a really cool way, just say sho. Sho, babe.
00:50So you know African music is having a moment. What does that mean to you as a musician?
00:55I'm just glad to be part of the flock that's about to go into the world and represent African music.
01:00This is our time. So we need to make sure that we use our time better. Otherwise, it'll be fast.
01:07Hit me. Hit me with something good.
01:08Hit me with something good.
01:09Kuli Kojana.
01:10Yes, unipende leo mimi. Kuli Kojana.
01:15Say migyal fina. More than Diana. Other girls china. My woman. My everything.
01:22Baby, get this recipe. Try yourself out. People coming for the queen. Just back up. I'll clean.
01:39Thank you guys for keeping it locked on Essence.com as always. Until next time, from Africa with love.
01:44With love.
