By A Correspondent- A five part acapella vocal ensemble made up of young women from Bulawayo, Nobuntu has embarked on a tour of the USA.

The tour, which started in September will see the group perform in the USA until November.

The ensemble made up of Thandeka Moyo, Tenor Zanele Manhenga aka Uzah, Joyline Sibanda, Heather Dube and Duduzile Sibanda won the outstanding Imbube Group in the inaugural 2017 Bulawayo Arts Awards and was nominated for Best Musician of the Year at the Zimbabwe International Women Awards 2015.

The five member group released their debut album in 2013 dubbed Thina. The album was a huge success which took them beyond Zimbabwe to countries such as Austria, Germany, Belgium and the Czech Republic, playing in concert halls, theatres and festivals.

Their video dubbed “Narini”, which was their lead single from the group’s second album, Ekhaya, was number 1 for four straight weeks on Top 10 Zimbabwean Music Video on DSTV’s Zambezi Magic TV.
