Zulu traditional voice uMhlakazi has released a new record titled “Sulani Igama Lami,” featuring guitarist Shenge wasehlalankosi on the track.
The isiZulu title seems to say “remove my name,” according to the report, so the song sounds like a warning. The lyrics seem to push back against people who drag a name through gossip.
Shenge wasehlalankosi has been busy on guitar-led records lately, with “Udokotela” and “Intaba Zokhahlamba” among them. The report states his name here signals a serious maskandi moment.
The guitar leads with sharp, rolling picks over a firm bass, while drums stay plain and heavy. Shenge wasehlalankosi follows with his praise-style growl and raises the temperature, the report states.
The two voices push the same point, and the guitar holds them together. Because the chorus repeats, the warning sticks even if you miss the language.
