Umcimbi.com – The People’s Gathering is a vibrant cultural platform created to celebrate and elevate the Eastern Cape’s most dynamic emerging talents. It’s more than a showcase—it’s a movement. A gathering of poets, jazz bands, visual artists, and genre-defying musicians sharing one room, one rhythm, and one purpose: to amplify homegrown excellence and take it to the world.

This year’s edition features the soulful sounds of Avuyisiwe Mafutha, known on stage as Vee, Inkosazana. Hailing from Lucingweni Location in Ngqeleni, Vee is a gifted singer, guitarist, and creative force whose journey began in the church pews and now echoes across stages and hearts.

A gentle spirit with a powerful voice, Vee uses music to speak her soul—her guitar and vocals intertwined in storytelling that is tender, truthful, and rooted in spirit. From performances at the University of Fort Hare to Grazia Fine Food and Wine, her star continues to rise with quiet force.

Umcimbi.com is where dreams meet the mic, and the mic meets the people. Come experience the sounds of tomorrow, today.
