Has anyone heard of Sum'Bulala?

[GazPacho]

I don't know if this is the name of the band or the song. It is a
female voice singing with male background singers. Any help is
greatly appreciated.

Kit:
My best guess is that the correct spelling is "Soumbouya"...part of the
title of a song by Salif Keita of Mali. This is off of his Mango release
LP "Soro"...available on CD I believe. The song is "Sina (Soumbouya)"
and includes an excellent chorus that includes women vocalists as well.

Hi, it's a song by South Africa's Brenda Fassie. Sum'bulala means 'don't kill her/him' then the answer ngobuzomdinga meaning 'coz you'll need her/him'.

Siyan is absolutely right

Hey! I know what song you’re talking about. It’s called Sum’ Bulala and it’s by Brenda Fassie. She was an extremely talented South African musician. I grew up listening to her. Would definitely say she’s worth looking into.

Her name is Brenda Fassie. Within the song I believe it is Ladysmith Black Mambazo doing the backing vocals.
