ABOUT BIKO’S MANNA
Biko’s Manna are originally from Johannesburg and have put a smile on millions of people’s faces across the world with their singing.
They are the talented children of singer and actress Ayanda Nhlangothi and Sebone Rangata – who are often seen performing with them at the Maboneng Precinct and at corporate gigs and events.
According to Ever Was, the siblings fell in love with music and doing song covers after their father visited Japan. Rangata, who enjoyed Japanese pop music, brought back some music with him and his children picked up the lyrics by ear and they’ve made their own cover versions since.
Performing has been passed on from generation to generation as the trio’s grandmother is well-known performer, Dr Tu Nokwe, who was a member of the group Black Angels.
Lately, the siblings have spent the time touring the United States. They’ve performed at the National Museum of African American Music in Nashville and Festival of Nations at Tower Grove Park in St. Louis, Missouri.
