Bio
Colbert Mukwevho was born in the Venda region in Limpopo Province- South Africa.
The diversely talented music artists playing their trade in the local music industry make the country a most appealing cultural hub.
While there are a great many music sounds and genres indigenous to South Africa, international influence is prominent.
This certainly cannot be viewed as a downfall when you have artists like the reggae-inspired Colbert Mukwevho, whose singing and compositions are inspired by that legendary Jamaican, Bob Marley.
Mukwevho has been a musician for close to three decades (30 years), initially working as a bassist and backing singer with Chicco Twala
He also did a duet, Hero’s Party, with Brenda Fassie in the mid-eighties, which appeared on her album Black President.
Mukwevho, who hails from Limpopo, has frequently heard that his voice is mistaken for Bob Marley’s. (It is rumoured that Rita Marley invited Mukwevho to visit Jamaica in honour of the reggae king.)
Colbert Mukwevho has many English and Venda Songs.
