According to fellow music legend, Babsy Mlangeni, iscathamiya was once named after Linda’s song, Mbube also known as A Lion Sleeps Tonight.It reportedly went on to sell more than 100 000 copies in South Africa by 1949.“Later years, it was called ‘Ngoma Busuku’ because it was performed late at night. Later it became chothoza mfana until it was called schathamiya as far as I’m concerned, I think Solomon Linda came up with a trend”, says musician Babsy Mlangeni.
Solomon Linda was born Solomon Ntsele, in 1909 near Pomeroy, in Msinga, Ladysmith. He later dropped the surname and used his clan name, Linda. The music composer of the world-famous song allegedly sold the rights to a record company for 10 shillings .“Many musicians across the world have gotten down to that song. Unfortunately, it’s one of those African songs that when you pick up you don’t think there’s credit to be given somewhere. You, the writer, are unknown and you can do as you please with it, and that is what happened to Mkhulu Linda”, says musician Blondie Makhene.
Music icon Sipho Hotstix Mabuse says Linda is responsible for composing the most popular song in the world. “Solomon Linda’s legacy is having created one the most iconic songs ensuring music is sustained beyond the South African shores. I think it’s as critical to celebrate him and say thank you for keeping our music alive.’[ON AIR] This year’s theme pays tribute to the 60th anniversary of the passing of singer and song writer Solomon Popoli Linda. He is best known as the composer of the song “Mbube” which late became a music success “The Lion Sleeps Tonight”.
