Ndilimani Cultural Troupe

The Ndilimani Cultural Troupe is a significant musical ensemble that was established in 1980 in Lubango, Angola, under the leadership of members from the People's Liberation Army of Namibia (PLAN), a military wing of the SWAPO party. The troupe played a crucial role in Namibia's struggle for independence, using music, drama, and traditional dance to boost morale among exiled soldiers and to spread awareness about the country's plight under apartheid. Their cultural activities were recognized and supported by high-ranking officials within SWAPO, including the late Comrade Peter Nambala and President Sam Nujoma.

Today, Ndilimani Cultural Troupe continues to contribute to Namibian culture and music, with a discography that includes volumes like "Ndilimani Cultural Troupe, Vol. 7" and "Ndilimani, Vol. 5," along with newer releases such as "The Revolution Continuous, Vol. 10" and "Harambee." The troupe's music reflects their commitment to cultural preservation and their role in the country's history. Despite their origins in the liberation struggle, they remain active in celebrating Namibia's progress and cultural diversity.
