Goapele closer lyrics meaning7/8/2023 Her name, which she uses without her surname, means "to move forward" in Sitswana, one of the languages spoken in her father's homeland. Goapele (pronounced "gwa-pa-lay") was born around 1978 in Oakland, California, the daughter of a South African father and a Jewish mother from New York City who had met and married in Kenya. Promotional materials on the Web site of her agent, William Morris Agency, claimed that "her music combines elements of soul, hip-hop, jazz and rhythm and blues into a smooth and seductive blend uniquely her own." Hailed as an original and mesmerizing voice in the new soul genre, singer Goapele has gained national attention since the release of her debut album, Even Closer, in 2001.
