Ubunye is a vibrant afro-jazz band featuring three powerful vocalists from South Africa’s Kwa Zulu Natal region combined with a dynamic rhythm section, Ubunye’s music is a unique blend of contemporary jazz, afro-pop and traditional ‘Isigqui’ Zulu music.

Their inspirational fusion of jazz, dance and afro-beat that encapsulates the soul of South Africa, is winning the band a legion of fans across the UK and beyond, having headlined a number of jazz festival’s, and selling out Soho’s Pizza Express Jazz Club.
