What’s that? It’s the sound of really good Zulu soul melodies over tight and mellow beats. Someone recently sent me a package of South African pop cassettes and this has been on my home stereo repeatedly.
Please note: the overblown/peaking sound on side two is on the original tape, I tried to correct it in the digitizing process to no avail.

Wow, what a surprise! I did know before, that the Zulus are such talented Folks, but this singer really merrits to heard internationaly!
Yin’ Uthando is a hit!
I would love to hear more of her, (hopefully in better sound-quality…)
Thanks for this site!
OK, I never comment on websites. Nokwazi is awesome. Every track on this cassette is a gem. I cannot imagine just how successful this lady would be if she had worldwide exposure. The two levels of backing vocals is stupendous.
It has been three or four weeks since I downloaded this record, and everytime I try to listen to any other record, I stop and go back to Nokwazi.
If you have other tapes from this lady, please post them.
Thanks, Peter
Very talented and underrated artist; downloaded the whole album!
did she sample baabbu maan’s Saun Di Jhadi for the first track sophie? that “ahh” sounds the same just pitched up a bit. that would be some crazy cross pollination.
Very uplifting and fun material!
I like it it so awesome
I’m pretty sure this is bio is of the same artist (the pictures look the same).
