Bio

[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 stay with young boys in the cattle field looking after her grandfather's cattle farm playing guitar with them. As her family also managed to have small business like Spaza,

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

Back grounded her family with Wesleyan church Lusanda inherited the Spirit of church songs through church visit and attending Sunday schools till she became a guilder of the church

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

released the following year (1997). This ambitious gospel

singer knew that her music was not to be confined to the Eastern Cape.

Forever restless and having burning desire to spread the gospel message, Lusanda without having funds and resources, took a lone trip to JOBURG and Gallo couldn't resist the power and the popularity of this new Gospel singer and in 1998 she was taken under the wings of this label
