Dalom Kids return with powerful new track ‘Girl Child’ and international shows

Dalom Kids are set to release their new single, “Girl Child”, on Friday, November 14.

The track features collaborations with HarryCane, Eeque, Lowsheen and Droppa, showcasing the group’s continued commitment to creating music that connects across generations.

For more than three decades, Dalom Kids have remained a staple of South Africa’s afro-pop scene. Their performances combine infectious rhythms and powerful vocals, celebrating African culture while evolving their sound to resonate with both long-time fans and new listeners. 

The group, a female vocal trio, was originally formed in 1989 by the late music legend Dan Tshanda as part of his Splash band. 

Known for blending gospel-style chants with electronic disco beats, Dalom Kids sing primarily in Tswana, carrying forward Tshanda’s musical legacy. Over the years, the line-up has evolved, mixing original members with new talent, ensuring the signature “Dalom sound” continues to thrive.

This dedication is evident in their latest single, “Girl Child”, which highlights the group’s ability to honour tradition while exploring contemporary influences.

This year, Dalom Kids received a nomination at the South African Music Awards (Samas) for Best Afro Pop Album for their “Collaboration with Friends” project.

Sylvia Tshanda, writer, producer and composer of Dalom Music, reflected on the recognition: “Being nominated for a Sama is a huge honour. This recognition reminds us that the spirit of Dan Tshanda and the magic of Dalom Kids’ music continue to live on, inspiring both the old and new generations.”

Dalom Kids are also taking their music on the road. In South Africa, they will headline the End of Year Disco Inferno at Luxor Maboneng in Johannesburg on Saturday, November 29, performing alongside Boss Lady.

Internationally, the group will bring their dynamic performances to the UK. They will appear at Olympia Lounge in Leicester on Friday, November 14, followed by Club Exodus in Leeds on Saturday, November 15, sharing the stage with Peacock and Vee Mampeezy.
