We are really thrilled with the progress Maskandi has made in the South African music mainstream. What’s even more shocking is the fact the this sound is being pushed by independent traditional Zulu artists with no much resources other than their raw talents.
Looking at the charts and trends table, I think it will be foolish for anyone to argue the influence of the Maskandi sound in the South African music scene. Infact, the only sound that surpasses Maskandi at the moment is Amapiano. One artists who has made the success of this sound possible is Umafikizolo aka MrHit Ngomankulu.
Known for his hit singles, Viva and Uzophela Umcimbi, Umafikizolo is one of the leading artists that has continued to push the boundaries of the Maskandi sound. With the year 2024 fully in set, the Zulu-born hitmaker has now shown his readiness to deliver his first project for the year via “Ngathi Nguye.”
No much details have been given about this upcoming release but we promise to drop more information about “Ngathi Nguye” as soon as they are made available. There’s a lot to take away and speculate from Umafikizolo’s forthcoming album, but when it comes to his range, influence, and originality, there’s this guarantee that he can never do any wrong.
