offWOMEX 13
With a gigantic voice and tons of charm, there is nothing small about the tiny songstress Nomfusi. With sheer will and determination she has risen from the squalor of South African squatter camps to glistening on the stages of the world. Likened by critics to a young Miriam Makeba with a twist of Tina Turner, the multiple SAMA and Metro FM Award nominee embraces both her African heritage as well as the sounds of Soul and Motown she grew up with. Like a purifying wild fire that cuts through the bone, her cathartic performances have been praised across the globe:
"A refreshing blast of energy." - WOMAD, England "An absolute riot to watch and hear." Roots "n Blues Festival, Canada "The best in the overall line-up" - Bushfire Festival, Swaziland Chris Blackwell, founder of Island Records, calls her "a terrific young artist" and Rolling Stone Magazine describes her as exuding "a deep sensuality and social expansivenes

Musical artist
Nomfusi Gotyana (born 1988),[1] known mononymously as Nomfusi, is a South African singer and performer of Afro-Soul music. She was born in the township of KwaZakhele in the Eastern Cape. Her mother Kwazibani ("Who Knows?" in English) raised her while her father languished in jail for 21 years. A domestic worker by day, Kwazibani was a sangoma (African medicine woman) with a gift for music. Nomfusi accompanied her mother to the weekly sangoma rituals ("Intlombe") where Nomfusi developed her musicality. She is a two-time South African Music Awards nominee, Metro FM Award nominee and performed on multiple local and international tours.
