Latest CD: Double Take

Soul-sisters Abigail Kubeka, Dolly Rathebe and Sharon Katz grew up in South Africa under the old apartheid regime and had to hide from the police to perform their music.  

Double Take shows how powerful voices can never be silenced. These songs go far beyond questioning the stories we're told to believe; they make you want to dance, laugh, cry, shout and hug somebody.

The Little We Have We Share

(Sharon Katz & The Peace Train)

This song was inspired by my work with Mama Mary Lwate who has raised hundreds of orphans in South Africa.  She single handedly takes on the lives of children who have been discarded, abandoned and neglected.  I first met Mama Mary in 2002 - she was introduced to me by the great Dolly Rathebe while I was recording "Lerato" with Dolly. Mama Mary has become my life long friend and I continue raising funds at concerts and visiting Mama Mary whenever I can to try and help with the needs of the children in her care.  We have now developed a fantastic line dance to this song and we carry the message wherever we go through the song and the dance.  It's a message of UBUNTU.  Yes I am my brother and my sister's keeper. 

The Little We Have We Share, That's the way it must be,

In the world everywhere, I carry you you carry me.

But what of those who have fallen down

How can they get up again?

Hearing their cries, don't say goodbye

Don't you know that you can be a friend?

And how can I know that I'll see you around

while this war is gaining ground?

Don't hesitate, it might be too late,

Don't you know that it's more than just fate?

The Little We Have We Share

In The World Everywhere

I Carry you, you Carry Me!

Kancane kancane sizofika!

Slowly but surely we can reach for the sky

Just give it away, we can give it a try

Don't say goodbye.  Don't say goodbye.
