Black Umfolosi International is one of the African continent’s greatest vocal groups, having performed all over the world, and in particular, having completed hundreds of shows across Canada in theatres and on festival stages. Their live performances blend a cappella singing with traditional dance and costume and featuring several languages from southern Africa. One of the highlights of a BUI performance is their rendition of gumboot dancing, a physically demanding form of dance performed in rubber boots which evolved in the mining camps of the country. For 42 years BUI has been a leading proponent of their style of traditional music, singing on five continents.
