Black Umfolosi draw on the traditional song and dance of southern Africa to create performances full of energy, precision and spirit. Their shows combine rich vocal harmonies with intricate rhythms, clapping and clicking, alongside dynamic choreography that moves from gentle, expressive moments to powerful stomping and leaping.
