Namvula

Crossing boundaries with refreshing honesty and evocative lyricism, Namvula’s music draws you into different worlds, yet remains firmly rooted in Africa.

The debut album titled Shiwezwa by singer-songwriter Namvula is causing excitement among reviewers. Namvula means ‘mother of rain’ in Zambia, where she was born of mixed Zambian-Scottish heritage. Her performance creates an intrepid new world that fuses folk, Zambian urban, Scottish heritage and London’s vibrant eclectic music scene.
