Phuz’Ushiye Khumalo is a South African Maskandi singer and composer with a strong presence in traditional music. He is known for his skilled acoustic guitar work and expressive storytelling, rooted in the KwaZulu-Natal musical tradition. His work gained wider attention with the release of the 2009 album "Iqabane," distributed by Sony Music Africa.
His catalogue includes notable tracks such as "Esandlwane," "Qagela," and "Iqabane," which reflect his approach of combining social reflection with rhythmic Zulu musical structures. He often performs with his ensemble Phuz’Ushiye Namanqe, presenting music that engages with cultural identity, rural life, and everyday relationships.
Through projects like "Amehlo" and "Ulaka," he has maintained a consistent presence in Maskandi music, working with traditional guitar techniques known as "izihlabo" while incorporating modern production approaches that keep his sound current within the genre.
