Swazi Traditional

Swazi traditional music is a rich tapestry of cultural expression deeply rooted in the customs and rituals of the Swazi people. It is characterized by its use of vocal harmonies, traditional instruments like the lute-like umakweyane and the calabash-based marimba, and rhythmic clapping or stamping. The genre often involves call-and-response patterns, fostering a communal and participatory atmosphere. Performed typically by various groups such as young maidens, men, and mixed ensembles, the music accompanies ceremonies like the Umhlanga reed dance and incwala, a sacred kingship rite. Its lyrics often convey themes of heritage, social values, and community life.
