Xitsonga (also known as Tsonga) is a Bantu language spoken by the Tsonga people primarily in South Africa, Mozambique, Eswatini, and Zimbabwe. In contemporary South African electronic and popular music — particularly Gqom, Amapiano, and Kwaito — Xitsonga vocal samples, chants, and percussion elements are increasingly sought after.
