About Khumbula:
Khumbula is an experimental traditional afro-pop sound fused with elements of afrobeat, giving the song great continental and international appeal.
Khumbula deals with missing home, the yearning that comes with it, and longing for a return to one’s roots. The track features Nhlanhla, a legend in her own right, and one half of the multi-award-winning kwaito and Afropop duo, Mafikizolo, who adds her husky tone to the track, and the two produce an earnest and deeply felt melodic arrangement.
