About Maskandi
Maskandi is a vibrant Zulu folk music genre originating from the migrant labor culture of KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa. It is characterized by an intricate fingerpicking guitar style and often features the concertina, violin, and a distinctive rhythmic pumping bassline. The music typically opens with an izihlabo instrumental flourish before transitioning into mid-tempo songs that focus on storytelling, social commentary, and cultural pride. While deeply rooted in traditional Zulu music, Maskandi has evolved to incorporate modern elements, maintaining a semantic link to Mbaqanga while remaining a distinct expression of the Zulu troubadour identity.
Also known as: Maskanda
