Young vocalist comes of age
Female afro-pop and spiritual singers are making their mark in the music business, and the ‘hustler’, an artistic Noluthando Dlamini- otherwise known as Rosero - is testament to this.
Yeoville-based Afro-pop singer, Noluthando Dlamini is making her mark in the music industry.
Popularly known as Rosero, Dlamini said she wanted to inspire people through her music. “I always try to get the best out of everything, I am an optimist, that’s what got me into music,” she said.
Rosero added that she wanted to create music that would be listened to by generations to come.
She said although it was very challenging to introduce herself into the market, her God-given voice had been instrumental in getting her noticed.
The Eastern Cape-born singer will perform at this year’s Grahamstown National Arts Festival which will run from 3 to 13 July, and will be performing on 3, 4, 5 and 7 July at the Victoria Theatre.
She said, “ I am excited about performing at the festival as it will give exposure and open doors for me and my band.”
Her music has elements of various genres from jazz and fusion to reggae.
She currently has a single called Ngaphesheya.
Rosero also performed at the Africa Day celebrations last year. She said, “I just want to spread my wings, I love to perform live and entertain the people”.
Born of a pastor, Rosero is also a social entrepreneur and founded Alf Dlamini Foundation which she named after her father.
The foundation trains teachers at early childhood centres in her home town, of King Williams Town.
The highlight of her career has been performing at the memorial for jazz legend, Victor Ntoni. “I was very excited about it and couldn’t wait to hit that stage with my high notes,” she said.
