Soweto Singers Vol.2

Soweto Singers Vol. 2 continues the two-part series celebrating the traditional South African styles of Zulu and Xhosa music. Recorded in the heart of Soweto, South Africa, this volume focuses on authentic Xhosa vocal styles such as Ukombela, Ukuqgokola (throat singing), and Ukuqwija. These unique approaches are deeply tied to the Xhosa language, incorporating distinctive vocal clicks and rhythmic textures that make the performances truly one-of-a-kind.

Alongside the Xhosa traditions, this pack also features Zulu vocal styles, specifically Umculo wesintu (folk music), offering a rich blend of South African heritage. Expect soulful acapella performances (with select guitar accompaniments) that capture the bliss, depth, and cultural resonance of these timeless vocal traditions.

Inside you’ll find 14 melodic loops and one-shots, perfect for weaving authentic African flavor into your productions across genres. From cinematic scoring to Afrobeat, house, and experimental electronic, Soweto Singers provides unparalleled authenticity and inspiration.
