BioThe Mahotella Queens is a South African all-female band formed in 1964 by music producer Rupert Bopape.
The group consists of three members, Hilda Tloubatla, Amanda Nkosi, and Nonkululeko Maseko.
The Mahotella Queens' music is deeply rooted in the traditional South African music style called mbaqanga, which originated in the townships of Johannesburg in the 1960s.
The group's fast-paced stage performances have also become a hallmark of their style. They are known for their energetic dancing, which has become an integral part of their live shows.
The Mahotella Queens have toured extensively throughout Africa and the world, performing at major music festivals and cultural events.
Despite several lineup changes over the years, the Mahotella Queens have continued to produce music that celebrates their rich South African heritage and promotes social unity.
They remain an influential and beloved group, with a legacy that spans over five decades of music-making.
