South African act Mphathiwohlelo MC calls on Shenge wasehlalankosi and Mjolisi for a mountain-sized new record titled “Intaba Zokhahlamba.” The title points to the Drakensberg range in isiZulu.
Those mountains hold a lot of history for Zulu people, so naming a song after them sounds proud. Shenge wasehlalankosi already carries praise-style weight on records like “Udokotela.” That makes this three-way link-up one to watch for traditional music lovers.
The guitar leads with bright, rolling picks over a steady bass. Drums stay simple and firm, while light percussion keeps the pace. It sounds rooted and open, like a wide valley at sunrise.
He speaks the lines as much as he sings them, so the story stays clear. His tone sounds like an elder calling a gathering to order.
Shenge wasehlalankosi follows with heavy, praise-style delivery that lifts the mood. Mjolisi then closes the circle with a rougher texture. The lyrics lean on land, heritage and standing tall, though each voice adds its own angle.
