[edit]Lusanda, with her traditional historical influence she grew up on a more remote administrative area called Willowvale, the small village which concentrate on Xhosa traditions with more cattle farming and ploughing food crops.

She used to steal cigarettes for her home boys in order to assist her in playing Guitar singing traditional songs in those big mountains.

With her trademark aura politeness and calm, the gospel outfit leader, Lusanda Mcinga is a one of the country's most sought -after Gospel singers. Her group started off as the family group, which comprised of Lusanda's sisters and their mother, getting a deal was an elusive if not impossible dream. Following years of trying, the determined Lusanda finally recorded under a small label.
Lusanda's very first album was called SIMETHEBILE and was released in 1995/6 under Audio concept in PORT ELIZABETH, Eastern Cape. A second titled UNGAPHELEL'EZONWENI was
