''Siyadumisa (Songs of Praise)'' is a 2007 album by the South African mbaqanga group the Mahotella Queens. The album is the first gospel-orientated album by the Queens, and features the voice of lead singer Hilda Tloubatla's son, Alfred "Ali" Temo.〔Bula Music: "New Releases" section (), ''Mahotella Queens Magic To Take SA By Storm!!''〕 The album was released in May 2007 in South Africa on the Bula Music label, and was a joint venture between Bula and AS Entertainment (the Queens' management). It is as yet unknown when the album will receive its US and UK release (though it is expected to be issued internationally in 2008). During the making of the album, the group's bass guitarist Madoda Ntshingila was injured in a car accident, and at the last minute the acclaimed bassist Jabu Sibumbe was roped in to replace Ntshingila.〔Gospel Grooves: "Featured Artists" section (), ''Mahotella Queens''〕 A tragedy also occurred during the production: the Queens had recruited a new lead guitarist, John Papo, whom they described as "very beautiful, when he plays guitar he is just like Marks Mankwane".〔Gospel Grooves: "Featured Artists" section (), ''Mahotella Queens''〕 Tragically Papo died after only a week recording on the album. Songs on the album include "Ebenezer" (the opening song to the Queens' concerts) and "Usathane Uyadelela" ("Satan Is Wayward") as well as a re-recording of "Bonang Suna", a song the Queens originally recorded in the late 1980s.〔Bula Music: "New Releases" section (), ''Mahotella Queens Magic To Take SA By Storm!!''〕 Also included are several Zulu hymns rearranged by the Queens into a gospel-mbaqanga style. ==Track listing== # "Umlingi" (Comp.: Nobesuthu Mbadu) # "Lenjabulo" (Comp.: Traditional / Mildred Mangxola) # "Bonang Suna" (Comp.: Hilda Tloubatla) # "Ebenezer" (Comp.: Hilda Tloubatla) # "Usathane Uyadelela" (Comp.: Traditional / Mildred Mangxola) # "Thixo Bawo" (Comp.: Traditional / Mildred Mangxola) # "Batswarele" (Comp.: Hilda Tloubatla) # "Kheth'eyakho" (Comp.: Traditional / Mildred Mangxola) # "Siza Ubenami" (Comp.: Nobesuthu Mbadu) # "Sisho Udumo" (Comp.: Traditional / Hilda Tloubatla) # "Umkhwezeli" (Comp.: Traditional / Nobesuthu Mbadu) # "It Is Well" (Comp.: Traditional / Hilda Tloubatla) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Siyadumisa (Songs of Praise)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
