Based: Cape Town
Digital Sangoma is the performance alias of Cape Town artist, producer and performer Mandisi Mafu, whose work blends African musical heritage with contemporary electronic production. He officially adopted the Digital Sangoma identity during the 2017 Cape Town Electronic Music Festival, building on earlier work released under the name Mandie Mafu.
His sound sits in the Afro-electronic space, combining African rhythms, vocal storytelling and dance-floor energy with modern production. The current HDS profile describes the project as using high-tech tools to recreate and perform traditionally influenced sounds through a mix of African beats and electronic dance music, while more recent profiles position him as an Afro-electronic artist rooted in African heritage and global dance culture.
Digital Sangoma has continued to develop both as a recording artist and live performer, with recent official releases and DJ-set content on his YouTube channel alongside newer singles appearing on streaming platforms in 2025. His work is well suited to festivals, lifestyle events, contemporary corporate functions and curated bookings looking for a live act that merges tradition, electronic music and strong visual identity.
