INALA – meaning abundance of goodwill – is a joyous celebration of South African and Western cultures.

We are delighted to introduce INALA.

The Grammy-nominated South African performance celebrates South Africa’s rich cultural heritage through powerful Zulu harmonies, exhilarating choreography and moving storytelling. The music is composed by the late Joseph Shabalala of Ladysmith Black Mambazo and Ella Spira MBE, with narration by Ndaba Mandela, grandson of Nelson Mandela

INALA stands as a tribute to Joseph Shabalala, whose work with Paul Simon on Graceland, helped bring South African music to the world and contributed to cultural shifts during apartheid. INALA was his final international stage work — a lasting legacy of unity through music.

Since its world premiere at the Edinburgh International Festival in 2014, INALA has toured internationally, earned a Grammy nomination, performed for royalty, and most recently appeared twice in London’s Trafalgar Square, at West End LIVE and the official Nelson Mandela Day celebrations, celebrating South African culture on one of the world’s most iconic stages.

See You There 💛

INALA runs at The Lyceum Fri 14 – Sun 16 Aug. 

Please note this production has replaced Ingoma! A Revolution in Rhythm which was previously scheduled for The Lyceum on these dates.
