Ipi Tombi (also produced as Ipi N’tombi both corrupted transliterations of the Zulu iphi intombi or where is the girl?) is a 1974 musical by South African writers Bertha Egnos Godfrey and her daughter Gail Lakier telling the story of a young black man leaving his village and young wife to work in the mines of Johannesburg. The show originally called The Warrior uses pastiches of a variety of South African indigenous musical styles.
