Durban-born Umaah is a singer- and songwriter who has made a permanent mark on the South African music scene. Her music is influenced by emotive electronic music rooted in hip hop and neo-soul, brazed with African-Caribbean music.

This concert is made possible by The SAMRO Foundation/Concerts SA (Southern African Music Rights Organisation).

It also aims to develop an interest in, and appreciation of, live music, by showcasing music performances and conducting workshops at schools.
