TEMBISA - Maskandi powerhouse Abafana bakaMzillikazi are certain their counselling through their latest release titled Ungubab' onjani will go a long way in restoring vanishing humanity.
Recorded at BK Studios in Tembisa, the 10-piece band's mega hits are : Iphimbo Lami, Dali and the title track. Composed by Doit Mhlaba and Maswazi Simphiwe Hlatshwayo the 12 track album will certainly reach diizzy heights in this tough industry.
"In 'Ungubab' onjani,' we condone the actions of a neglegent father who leaves his family at home and comes here to settle with another woman. They are also shameless women who lure married men for many different reasons. This bad habit is terribly affecting the community and must come to an end," said the lead vocalist; Doit Mhlaba.
"People need to respect and tolerate each other, if I'm straying I have to be corrected there and then because we learn different things in different ways everyday. We would like to thank our followers for the love and appreciation we got for our debut album 'Hlehlani Bafana' your support is pivotal in our success. We hope you will enjoy 'Ungubab' onjani.' We would like to encourage the community to restrain from buying fake music and videos because it is slowly but surely killing this industry," added Mhlaba.
Mhlaba, who was born in Susumane, Mazibisa in Tsholotsho, grew up listening to Maskandi and idolising the late great Bhekumuzi Luthuli. He was a backing vocalist in AmaJongosi alongside Maswazi Hlatshwayo.
