Zimbabwe’s greatest ambassadors, performing music inspired by the traditional song and dance of their native southern Africa,
with a beauty and enthusiasm that is unrivalled. Black Umfolosi were
formed in 1982 by school friends in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, who named
themselves after the Umfolozi Omnyama River in South Africa- to where
their ancestors can be traced. In 2011 The Black Umfolosi 5 continue to
present their spectacular songs and dances thrilling audiences
worldwide.
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! Their famous Gumboot Dances showcase the
traditional styles and rituals of the South African mining regions and
are a particular crowd pleaser.
