Yeah, right, it's Zulu language
It comes from a song by Johnny Clegg
"ASIMBONANG’ UMFOWETHU THINA
LAPH’ EKHONA
LA WAFELA KHONA"
means
"we have not seen our brother
In the place where he is
In the place where he died"
I recognized "Umfowethu" (brother), I learnt this word when I bought my very first compact disc : Cruel, Crazy, Beautiful world. If you like that kind of music you should take a look at the Etienne M'Bappe songs, he is a great bass player/singer who puts his afro style in every thing he does in a very nice and interresting way (he played with Ray Charles, M. Jonazs...)
