Black Umfolosi

Zimbabwean cultural ambassadors Black Umfolosi, celebrated for their vibrant energy, intricate harmonies, and traditional Southern African rhythms, bring their world-renowned music and dance to Summerside’s Harbourfront Theatre on November 8 at 7:30 pm.

Formed in 1982, the group takes its name from the Umfolozi Omnyama River in South Africa, where their ancestors can be traced. For over four decades, they have toured the globe, becoming favourites with audiences of all ages and cultures thanks to their natural ability to connect through music, passion, and storytelling.

Their shows combine powerful a cappella singing with choreography ranging from subtle, graceful movements to exuberant stomping and leaping. A highlight of their performances is the famous Gumboot Dance, a traditional style from Southern Africa’s mining communities.

Black Umfolosi’s performances are more than concerts—they’re cultural celebrations that showcase the beauty, strength, and spirit of Africa.
