Insingizi
Voices of Southern Africa (CD)

EUCD1855

Insingizi are a vocal group from Zimbabwe, presenting seventeen songs, a cappella or accompanied with African drums, in a rich vocal style, called Mbube (latterly made famous by Ladysmith Black Mambazo). In a world where the hype of western music appears to be stifling the growth of traditional African music, Insingizi assert that African music holds its own. The songs are presented in their native Ndebele language. Information in four languages.
