Maskandi Music on Tubidy
Zulu guitar music with fast picking, concertina and storytelling vocals, from KwaZulu-Natal to the rest of South Africa.
What Is Maskandi?
Maskandi is Zulu folk music rooted in KwaZulu-Natal. It is built around a fast, finger-picked guitar line, often with concertina, bass and drums, and lyrics that tell stories about love, family, the journey to the city and everyday life.
Maskandi songs often open with a short spoken or instrumental introduction called izihlabo, and artists frequently work with featured singers. Many uploads list only the song title, so the artist name is not always in the result.
