Mathambo Music is produced in South Africa with some of the finest session musicians and singers available. Our CD’s and audio files are made available to registered professional users including film producers, recording studios and broadcasters at specified published rates per usage.

If you are based outside of Africa, please go to International
for a representative in your territory.

A uniquely African approach to our music:

Mathambo composers were either native to Southern Africa or worked as active musicians in the territory for most of their formative musical years.
This experience naturally enhances a unique creative approach to the compositions and recordings.  

While our catalogue is African based and naturally, perfectly suited to programs relating to the African continent, the majority of titles are also incredibly effective when used in other production types and applications.

Tracks are generally thematic in nature and unless specified on the CD’s,
seldom linked to a particular African group or geographic location.

Vocals used in the music productions are also largely incidental chants or
feel-good vocalizations, without direct association or meaning … giving you
ever greater scope for varied production use.

Universal themes are applied on the odd occasions when an African language is actually used in a lyrical context. Optional backtrack mixes of titles without vocals are also available.

Should you have any specific queries regarding English translations or the context of any voices used in one of our titles, please contact us: info@mathambo.com
