Lu Dlamini – A Profile
Lu was born on the Natal south coast into one of KZN’s musical royal families. On top of such a strong foundation grew exceptional compositional skills. This, together with influences by the likes of Miriam Makeba, Letta Mbulu and Busi Mhlongo is the vehicle to showcase her voice.
Originality is a rare quality. It is also a gift. Lu reveals her phenomenal talent through Ulimilam, a collection of songs that celebrate the capacity of the creative individual to personalise a signature art form and make it deeply appealing. Lu’s voice has depth and range on the physical level; but it is the vehicle for soulful, intelligent and emotional comment in every note.
