About Trompies
Trompies is a South African music group that was formed in 1995 who specialise in kwaito music. The members, Jairus "Jakarumba" Nkwe, Zynne "Mahoota" Sibika, Mandla "Spikiri" Mofokeng, Eugene Mthethwa and Emmanuel "Mjokes" Matsane (who passed away in 2021), grew up together in the Soweto township of Johannesburg, and agreed to form a band after they had all completed their music studies in college.
Beginning to make music in the mid-1990s, they released their debut album, Sigiya Ngengoma in 1995.
More About Trompies
Two of the group members had previous performing experience as dancers in the bubble-gum group, Chicco Twala, and a third was the keyboard player for popular South African reggae artist Lucky Dube. This background in older forms of dancing and music lends to their music style of singing, synchronized dancing and dressing that is much more often found in a pop group than in kwaito, which was previously thought of as the "music of gangsters" but is now, thanks in part to Trompies, becoming increasingly more well-respected.
Trompies have since sold over half a million records and have become very successful in producing and managing other artists.
This group is best suited for festivals and public gigs.
