Nomfusi

The soul of Mama Afrika meets the fire of Motown and Soul in a pint sized packet of dynamite. After a mere six years in the industry and with more than twenty international tours under her belt, Nomfusi has become one of South Africa’s most sought after performers. There is nothing small about the tiny songstress with the gigantic voice and undeniable charm.

With sheer will and determination, she has risen from the squalor of South African squatter camps to some of the major stages of the world. Likened by critics to a young Miriam Makeba with a twist of Tina Turner, the multiple SAMA and Metro FM Award nominee embraces both her African heritage and the soul and Motown influences she grew up with. Like a purifying wildfire that cuts straight through the bone, her cathartic performances have been praised across the globe.

Nomfusi has delivered riveting sets across Europe and Canada at prestigious festivals such as WOMAD in England, performing with Angélique Kidjo at the Afrikadey Festival in Canada, and to an audience of more than eight thousand at FMM Sines in Portugal and Lugano Jazz Festival. She recently opened for Lionel Richie at Stimmen Festival in Lörrach, Germany. Nomfusi was chosen to portray Miriam Makeba in Long Walk to Freedom, the film about the life of Nelson Mandela. Released in early 2014, it is, according to The Hollywood Reporter, “the largest South African production ever mounted.”
