Ukai Ndame

Berlin-based Ukai Ndame was born in Angola and grew up in South Africa. The name Ukai Ndame comes from Umbundu, an indigenous Angolan language, meaning "lady like me".

Her South African heritage is an important part of her identity, so her focus on Afro Electronic sounds such as Afro House, Afro Tech, Gqom and Kuduro is an obvious choice for her DJ career. Her passion for the art of music started at a very young age, deeply influenced by her surroundings.
