Our Story

Shiya Ongalazi means "Leave It" - but we chose to never leave. 

Founded in Durban, KZN — the birthplace of GQOM — SHIYAONGALAZI.COM is the official GQOM X SGUBHU VAULT.

What started as a love for the hard-hitting drums and hypnotic chants of the township became a mission: to create a home where the culture lives, breathes, and evolves.

The Vault holds three things:

1. SGUBHU SONGS - The soulful, log-drum driven evolution.

2. GQOM SONGS - The raw, unapologetic pulse of Durban.

3. MERCH & CBR DROPS - Limited pieces that carry the same energy as the music.

We are powered by the streets, designed for the world.

This is more than music. It's an identity.

Welcome to the Vault.
