Ayiyiyo and Yiyo le is a two-part performance by vocalist NoBuntu Mhlambi. It is an expression of a practice she named Extended Vocal Techniques PSP (Prophetics, Stories & Poetics), inflected by the mingling of four giftings: singing/voice, prophetic insight, storytelling, and poetry.

Presenting "We are Beautiful" with

Dr Thokozani Mhlambi at Archives & Public Culture Conference “Towards the making of the Museum & Archive of the Constitution at the Hill”

NoBuntu Mhlambi's Inner Visions, Inner Voice show at the Athenaeum. "The foundation of this Music Can Happen Series is genesis and simplicity in the power and ‘enoughness’ of just the voice instrument".
