INNODO
– This is Ndebele music, to be precise it is Ndebele Traditional music sang by
both men and women. Songs differ in many ways but the instrumental sounds are
almost the same. Ndebele songs were intended to be sung by young people but
with so much talent even old people sing. Unlike in the olden days, today we
have many Innodo singers around the KwaDlawulale region. They use different
instruments such as Acoustic, Classical and Electrical guitars, Pianos, Drums,
Horns, and Whistles etc.
