The group’s success caught the eye of music critics and in March 2010 they were rewarded with the “Prix France Musique du Monde 2010” (Radio France World Music Award) at the Babel Med World Music Forum in Marseille France.
Their music has also been featured in various documentary films on TV stations that include the BBC (UK), ORF (Austria), ARD (Germany), PBS (USA) and ARTE (France) to mention but a few.
“Music has always been a unifying factor around the world, bringing together people from different backgrounds, races and traditions. It is through music that people get to know and understand other cultures,” said group spokesperson Vusa Mkhaya Ndlovu.
“We offer uplifting performances filled with harmonious cappella singing, traditional chants, hand percussion and choreography. Our songs possess a gentleness and honesty that address the challenges facing people today,” he said.
Ndlovu and two other group members, Blessings Nqo Nkomo and Dumisani Ramadu Moyo, grew-up in the dusty roads of Bulawayo listening to traditional music and pop music from local heroes like Ilanga, Lovemore Majaivana, Fanyana Dube, and Solomon Skhuza.
