Mzukulu and his Maskandi

Mzukulu is the son of late Phumangelakhe and late Thuleleni(Ma-Hlela) Buthelezi.  He grew up at Ngungumbane tribal authority in isigodi of Engeza.  This young man was one of the youngest Maskandi artist in 2010 and he performed in various towns and cities throughout South Africa and neighboring countries attracting magnitude of Maskandi lovers.  He was nominated as the best Maskandi performer in 2012 and in 2013 - Amantshontsho ka Maskandi category.  Through high and lows he experienced in the music industry he survived to be a grown-up today.

Noting that people need to know and understand our purpose in Mzukuluonline, we have decided to feature this publication so that you partner with us throughout this journey to prosperity.  We are sharing this concept of Maskandi music to all people who enjoy and pride themselves about our Zulu culture and heritage.  Maskandi is our Zulu folk music and is entrenched in our society and feature the roots of our Zulu culture.  Mzukulu lead the entire band with acoustic guitar that produce sweet musical melodies featuring Zulu rhythms.

Mzukulu is a descendant of great men and women who shaped his character and personality to be a man he is today.  In his blood flows the ancient rhythms of his forefathers which they sang in central Africa dancing to the African waza in praises of their ancestors and great gods who gave them power and strength to survive under tough conditions where their land was being invaded by aliens to disown them their land and destroy their culture and tradition.  After going through the storms and various dogmas Mzukulu has refused to disown his Zulu culture and its heritage, so Maskandi music has become his banner to express his undivided love of Zulu culture.

There will be three publications per week where you will be updated with all the activities and whereabouts of Mzukulu in terms of live performances and social engagements.  We invite everyone to subscribe to our Blog for easy access to new publications and events.
