“We Will Worship” is a highly influential South African contemporary worship music movement and collective. It originated as a group of friends passionate about God and music, with a dream to see African nations transformed through worship. Founded in 2006 by Langa Mbonambi, it began with youth worship leaders from across the country. They view themselves as a “movement” rather than just a band, intentionally making room for God’s leading and adapting as seasons change, with a core desire for all people to take their place as worshippers of God.
We Will Worship’s music primarily falls under the Gospel and Contemporary Worship genres, often infused with strong African influences and diverse languages (including Zulu and Xhosa). They are known for crafting original songs that reflect what God is doing in South Africa, blending traditional and contemporary gospel dynamics. They operate as a non-profit ministry affiliated with His People Church and have released numerous albums such as YHWH, The MoveMEANT Begins, Seasons, Vol. 1 & 2, and Izililo. While they function as a collective with various contributing vocalists and musicians, they are known for collaborations with established South African artists like Khaya Mthethwa and for their self-titled label We Will Worship, also associated with Movemeant and Tomorrow Culture Foundation.
