Gallo Music is celebrating Heritage Month with the release of a special 4-track Dolby Atmos EP titled iKhaya Nothando from the illustrious, 5-time Grammy award-winning Iscathamiya group, Ladysmith Black Mambazo. This release sees old and new given an updated surround sound treatment using Dolby Atmos technology.
The EP track-list includes: ‘Nomathemba (1973)’, ‘Uthando’ (1974), ‘Aykh’ Indaw’ Enjengekhaya’ (1993) and ‘Wawukhona Yini E New York’, the last two also recently having been reworked by German producer Henrik Schwarz, as part of the Gallo Remixed project.
“Dolby Atmos is a revolutionary, immersive audio experience that enables artists to mix music so the sound comes from all around and from above.”

iKhaya Nothando forms part of the label’s concerted effort to bring its South Africa’s music legacy into the digital age. It’s a legacy that Apple Music itself has mined this Heritage month on Amaqhawe, a playlist of Mzansi’s Greatest Hits that features the most impactful and memorable South African music icons in recent memory – think Slave (Lucky Dube), Hello My Baby (Ladysmith Black Mambazo), Zandisile (Simphiwe Dana), Burnout (Sipho ‘Hotstix’ Mabuse), Whispers in the Deep (Stimela), Magumede (Dorothy Masuka), Zabalaza (Thandiswa) and many more that have been drawn from the Gallo Music collection.
