Bruce Ncube is a Zimbabwean musician with more than 15 years of touring and traveling extensively in the UK, teaching, performing, and speaking in some of the world's biggest platforms such as WOMAD, Edinburgh International Festival, Natural Voice Network (keynote speaker) 2024, Camp Wildfire, Aberdeen International Youth Festival, African Drum Village (Scotland), Lancaster Music Festival, and Skye Music Festival.
Bruce specializes in teaching songs from his country of birth, Zimbabwe, as well as other southern African countries in three- to six-part harmonies using multiple languages such as Ndebele/Zulu, Shona, Kalanga, Setswana, and Xhosa. His teaching is in the traditional, aural/oral way, reminiscent of long ago when people would gather around a fire in the evenings, at weddings, traditional ceremonies, funerals, or while working in the fields and weaving harmonies.
Bruce continues to revive, preserve, and keep these lost songs alive by sharing them with the masses that he teaches across the globe. The songs he teaches are emotionally charged and uplifting, carrying messages of hope, grief, struggle, love, and togetherness. His approach is inclusive and participatory, designed to build people's confidence in singing.
