Ipi Ntombi - Ipi Ntombi

Subtitled - the African Musical Celebration. This hit musical was first performed in Johannesburg in the early 70s. The songs were originally written for Eartha Kitt who was touring South Africa & wanted to sing songs of African origin. Ultimately, the songs were not used by Kitt, but composers Bertha Egnos & Gail Lakier were contacted by Australian promoters to transform the songs for a stage production to celebrate the South African way of life. Prestige Elite. 2002.
