Black Umfolosi are an internationally acclaimed multi-discipline performing arts group specialising in harmonic acappella singing and traditional African dance. Based in Bulawayo, Zimbabwe, their trademark close harmony vocals are mixed with intricate rhythms and their world famous Gumboot Dance.
"Marvellous harmonies... spine-tingling gospel singing... bare-torsoed, hard-hatted gum-boot dancing" (The Herald)
"Extraordinarily exuberant dancers... stunning, colourful and one hundred and one percent engaging" (The Scotsman)
“Their singing is a marvellous blend of rhythm, melody and harmony welded together with enormous complexity, but ending up with a sound that is acting simplicity” (Froots)
