UBUHLE BE AFRIKA

The group «Ubuhle be Afrika», whose name means «the beauty of Africa», promotes the heritage and cultural life of South Africa. Its member will offer very diverse performances including drums, often accompanied by a marimba, rhythmic dances symbolizing the warriors impressing their opponents, as well as the famous South African a cappella songs. Zulu culture will be presented by this group which already performed in Switzerland during the Paléo Festival of Nyon a few years ago, as well as with the well-known white Zulu Johnny Clegg.
