Journey
Nokukhanya Khumalo, professionally known as Umaah, is a mystic singer-songwriter from Umlazi, now based in Johannesburg. Emerging from South Africa’s new wave of Black artists, she blends hip-hop, soul, Afro-Caribbean rhythms, and electronica, infusing ethnocentric elements and native oral traditions. Her raspy vocals evoke the guttural chants of Nguni spiritual practices, creating a genre-bending, emotive sound that reimagines Africa’s narrative through music and aesthetics.
