Futhi Mahlasela

Futhi is a talented musician, she hails from Matatiele the South of KwaZulu-Natal (South Africa) and has found a home in the city of Durban. Her music can be best described as Afro-Soul with a deep sense of Jazz, Roots and traditional music.

Futhi’s musical journey (like most) started from an early age and is influenced by a range of people- notably her grandmother and later musical greats like Busi Mhlongo and Mbongeni Ngema, with her debut album being produced by Mbongeni Ngema himself.
Umjendevu is the title of Futhi’s debut album and is without doubt , a labour of love . It touches all aspects of our journey as a people. It talks to love, African mysticism and hope. Futhi ‘s beautiful voice tells a story that few could tell - a story of who we are.

uMjendevu is produced by the legendary Mbongeni Ngema and features some very talented musicians and instrumentalists that shared the studio with Futhi – the likes of Brian Thusi, Matshinini Ngema and Afro -Soul (the group). The recording took place at the world class studio facilities at the KZN Music House .
The album was released in October 2011 and then, Futhi has graced a number of stages throughout KwaZulu-Natal. Before the release, she was entertaining the FIFA World Cup fans in different venues in 2010 and has been part of numerous campaigns around health and lifestyles.
Futhi is currently working on her second album titled Ngibongiseni which is due to be release early 2018
