South African artist Maqhinga Hadebe gives listeners “Igama Alipheli,” a mid-album cut from “Woza 2030.”
The song sits seventh on a 13-track album, so it lands right in the middle of the record. That placing matters, because it carries the flow between the opening stretch and the closing run.
“Woza 2030” is set to arrive in 2026, and the title points at where the artist is headed next. “Igama Alipheli” fits that forward-looking mood, but it also holds its own as a slow-burning listen.
Hadebe has kept his output steady into the new year, and this album adds another chapter to that run. The 13 tracks promise a spread of musical expressions rather than one repeated sound.
If you like a record that builds quietly and rewards patience, this one deserves a spot on your playlist. The mid-album slot gives it room to breathe between the louder moments around it.
