ABOUT

BANNED FROM THE LAND

Celebrating African Identity Through Music and Activism


BANNED FROM THE LAND is a groundbreaking South African music duo from the Eastern Cape, comprised of Amandla Akhona and Xhanti Nokwali. We reimagine traditional African music by blending indigenous instruments with contemporary sounds, creating a unique fusion that resonates with both heritage and modernity.

Our showcase forms part of the I'M WITH THE BANNED interprovincial tour, a fundraising initiative to support the recording of our debut EP in April. The tour's title reflects solidarity and honors the South Africans who have fought tirelessly for equality and land rights.


Through our music, we aim to challenge limiting narratives by elevating stories rooted in indigenous knowledge. These stories offer powerful perspectives for interpreting today’s world while celebrating the richness of African identity and resilience.


Join us in this celebration of music, culture, and activism as we speak to the heart of our shared heritage.
