iThongo Lo Mculo ("The Ancestral Song") is a groundbreaking cultural and musical content creation camp that brings together South African musicians, producers, visual artists, and content creators to collaborate in a unique, immersive environment. Set amidst the natural beauty and rich heritage of rural South Africa, this camp serves as a melting pot of artistic expression, cultural exploration, and innovation in the music industry.
The story of iThongo Lo Mculo is rooted in the deep connection between music, ancestry, and the soul of African culture. At its core, the camp is about honoring the past while shaping the future, uniting traditional sounds and modern creativity to forge new pathways for South African music and media. The concept draws from the spiritual belief that the ancestors communicate through music and art, guiding the hands and voices of today’s creators. Each participant of the camp arrives as a modern-day artist, but over the course of the event, they are taken on a journey through cultural immersion workshops, songwriting sessions, music production, and visual storytelling projects. The environment fosters collaboration, where artists can draw inspiration from one another and the surroundings—whether it’s the rhythm of African drums echoing through the mountains or the stories shared around a communal fire.
