An acclaimed virtuoso singer, dancer and composer, Busi Mhlongo’s hip, yet traditional, quirky but classic sound creates a fresh, new genre. She draws on various South African styles such as mbaqanga, maskanda, marabi and traditional Zulu, fused with contemporary elements from jazz, funk, rock, gospel, rap, opera, reggae and West African music.Her indefinable and infectious grooves have universal appeal and combined with her powerful stage presence and vocal prowess, she is in a class of her own with an inarguably exciting and original sound. Winning three FNB SAMA awards in 2000, as well as a KORA award, Busi has become one of the most phenomenal musicians to come out of South Africa.
