The Bala Brothers are a vocal trio from the Kwa Nobuhle Township outside Port Elizabeth in the Eastern Cape. The group consists of brothers Zwai Bala, Loyiso Bala, and Phelo Bala. The brothers first gained prominence when Zwai Bala joined the Drakensberg Boys' Choir School in 1988, becoming the first black member of the previously segregated group six years before the end of apartheid.

In 2006, the Bala Brothers came out with their first collective release, B3, on 28 September 2006, on Sony BMG Entertainment Africa. While the brothers continued to work on solo projects individually, they also continued to tour as a group. After Sony BMG dissolved, the brothers released another LP, Live at Emperors Palace, on 7 May 2013, through their own label, Bala Brothers Production. Later that year, the Bala Brothers performed at the Cape Town Stadium in a memorial service Nelson Mandela, after his death in December 2013. Read more on Last.fm.
