The Plumtree born Rhumba musician Mduduzi 'Golide' Tshuma is set to release a sizzling seven track album titled 'Ukwelikude', by end of march 2017.
In his latest project Golide collaborated with Tony Sibanda from Plumtree, who according to Golide, also features some songs in the album.
The new album features tracks like 'Good bye', 'Ukwelikude,' 'Earth' and 'iHighlanders.' All making a new flavoured rhumba collection from a revived Golide artistically reflecting the notions from diasporas islands.
Narrating his long journey in music, Golide revealed that singing has always been his passion since his schooling days.
"I started singing whilst I was still doing my secondary education at Tshitshi Secondary school before coming to South Africa in 2005. Then in 2009 I thought of networking with some Johannesburg based artists hoping that maybe one day I will be nurtured into a fully blown rhumba star, unfortunately I fell prey to some greedy rhumba masterminds who only used me and recorded behind my back," Golide lamented.
In 2010 Golide then met Givemore Nkiwane with whom they co-founded a group known as Abafana Bokuthula, assisted by Thabani Sibindi from Matabeleland Young Brothers.
"We recorded the album 'Ma Africa Amahle' together, however as the journey progressed I realised that we now differed in terms of vision , hence I was compelled to start my own group known as Mduduzi Golide and The United Africans," Golide said.
"In 2013 I recorded the album 'Uthando Luyinkinga' followed by 'Wavumelani?' In 2014 , then in 2016 I released a single track titled 'Dear mama' which I complemented with a DVD , a mixture of all other tracks in the previous albums. In this project I worked with Likhwa Mpofu from Tsholotsho.
Responding to the question of sustainability in the ugly face of financial crisis within the industry itself, Golide said he and his group have resorted to roadshows and promotions in a bid to simultaneously gain publicity and few Rands as compared to booking large venues.
"Despite the everyday financial challenges which every artists will always highlight ,in my latest album I promise my fans a different flavour, I have improved and the story telling in the songs is something else. Come end of March people will see a totally different Golide in Johannesburg, " concluded Golide.
