Bulawayo’s Quartet of Melodic Maestros

"...all-female a-cappella quintet from Bulawayo, aptly named Nobuntu..."

Bulawayo’s Quintet Of Melodic Maestros

They espouse values of humanity,
humility, unity, tenacity and love.

The singers’ show in Bulawayo
was a really riveting revelation.

It was a thorough kaleidoscope
of cute costume and a choreography

of vocal diagnosis and hypnosis,
the dance moves, graceful and deft.

The skilful artists shaped a sanctuary of hysteria.
their dazzling act, the dancing party-goers’ euphoria.

What a lasting spectacle, it made a howling wind halt.
Their attire was a fine film, a fascination, an explosion

of color that made the sun take a second look at its sparkle,
their vocal vitality and versatility, a complete changemaker, a victory.

This ensemble is a soaring, all-female a-cappella quintet from Bulawayo.
Aptly named Nobuntu, they personify humility in spite of their global stardom.

This award-winning crew celebrates culture by way of song,
dance and traditional instruments, and it is a vocal marvel.


Listen to the music of Nobuntu
