South African Zulu Male Choir

Making a triumphant return to the 2016 festival are the magnificent South African Zulu Male Choir, who have toured throughout the UK, Europe and internationally, appearing at many high profile events including singing in Wembley Stadium at the release celebrations for, and in front of, Nelson Mandela.

The South African Zulu Male Choir was formed from a core of artists who came to Britain in 1976 as part of the music and dance troupe Ipi Tombi. The Imbube and Isicathamiya tradition of unaccompanied harmony singing originated in the mines of Southern Africa, and is now known throughout the world. Their repertoire includes songs exploring themes of war, suffering, famine, love, happiness and Christianity.

The South African Zulu Male Choir are a force to reckon with – amazing to watch and brilliant to listen to.
