Singing (‘umculo’) is a huge part of the culture and everyday life of many African peoples, none more so than those in Southern Africa. Hamba Lulu is a beautiful wedding song that advises Lulu, a bride, to ‘Hush, listen to all the things they are telling you’. This song also features in L’Estrange’s hit cantata Zimbe! Come sing the songs of Africa!
