Mbekezeli 1010 returns with a culturally rooted Maskandi record, “Ububhinca”, a tribute to Bhinca identity, values and traditional Zulu folk culture. The South African traditional singer and storyteller keeps his focus on heritage here. He delivers the song on his studio project Lawufaka Ilunda, but the writing carries the weight.
The lyrics sit firmly in cultural identity and self-worth. Mbekezeli 1010 uses proverbs and familiar Zulu storytelling to push pride in one’s roots. So “Ububhinca” becomes an uplifting anthem rather than a lecture. He also honours respect and communal dignity across the verses.
His delivery stays earthy and introspective, while the melody carries the message gently. The record speaks to Maskandi purists and indigenous music lovers alike. It also reaches old-school fans who value tradition over trends.
