About the show
Black Umfolosi performances are inspired by the traditional song and dance of their native southern Africa, with a beauty and enthusiasm that is unrivalled.
Their performances are energy driven and completely engaging, mixing a great gentleness of spirit and song with an exuberance in dance. Their trademark harmonies mixed with intricate rhythms, clicking and clapping are highlighted during their brilliantly choreographed shows with a full range of movements from subtle to vibrant stomping and leaping!
The group formed in 1982 in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, naming themselves after the Umfolozi Omnyama River – an area to which their ancestors can be traced to.
Arguably Zimbabwe’s greatest ambassadors, the group have a natural ability to communicate passion and feeling in their spectacular performances that thrill audiences worldwide.
'An absolutely superb night had by all. Amazing musicianship and showmanship, really well received by a lively crowd.' Adam Laughton, Wiltshire Live Music Centre
