Malaika (Group)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Malaika is a South-African Afro-pop music group, which has been described as post-kwaito, post-mbaqanga and neo-soul, consisting of three young musicians: Bongani Nchanga and Jadu Ndaba (both born in Klerksdorp) from the previous band the Stouters and Matshediso Mholo (born in Lichtenburg), a former school teacher.

Malaika toured Australia from 6-9 March 2008 with Australian Idol 2007 finalist Tarisai Vushe as support. [1]
