Journey
URA is a South African Afro-pop and jazz singer who emerged in the mid-to-late 1990s. Her music gained attention during the post-apartheid cultural revival in South Africa, when Afro-pop and jazz artists were reaching wider audiences.
URA became best known for songs such as “Zwipera Tende” and “Zwese Zwese,” with “Zwipera Tende” first recorded around 1996.
URA’s music appeared on several influential compilations, including "Celebrate The Best of Afro Pop" (2010) alongside artists like Letta Mbulu and Judith Sephuma, as well as earlier collections such as "The Sound of Africa" (1998) and "More Songs out of Africa" (2001).
URA’s recordings remain appreciated by listeners of South African jazz and Afro-pop, and her songs continue to appear on curated playlists celebrating classic Mzansi music.
