Renowned South African Maskandi music artist, Shwi Mantombazane, popularly known as just Shwi, is making a triumphant return to the music scene with a brand new maskandi album titled “Sengozibonela Phambili.” This highly anticipated album comes as a surprise to fans and music lovers, as Shwi had not given any hints about working on a new project.
Shwi Mantombazane, whose real name is Mandla Xaba, hails from Msinga, a town in the Umzinyathi District Municipality in KwaZulu-Natal province, South Africa. Growing up in a loving environment, Shwi was surrounded by traditional Zulu music and was nicknamed IKhehla Lenyoni. His passion for music led him to form a popular maskandi music duo, “Shwi Nomtekhala,” with his partner. However, after a serious altercation, the duo went their separate ways, and Shwi embarked on a solo music career.
On June 3rd, 2024, Shwi took to his official social media platforms to announce the release of his second solo maskandi music project, “Sengozibonela Phambili,” on June 14th, 2024. The announcement came as a shock to fans, as there were no prior hints or clues about the project. The album’s front cover art, designed by Gezani Media Production, was unveiled on June 10th, 2024. The title, “Sengozibonela Phambili,” translates to “I’ll See You Ahead” in English.
The album consists of 13 tracks, each one a testament to Shwi’s exceptional talent and dedication to his craft. The album features collaborations with renowned artists Ndoni and Saliwa, who also jointly produced the project. The talented duo brings their unique style and energy to the table, complementing Shwi’s distinctive voice and masterful guitar work. Additionally, the album features a special guest appearance by the talented Mzukulu, adding another layer of depth and complexity to the project.
Shwi’s solo debut album, “Ukuhlupheka Kwami,” was released on September 18th, 2024, and was well-received by fans and critics alike. The album had 11 songs featuring Nomfundo Ngcobo and Khethonjani Dludla and marked the launch of Shwi’s own music production brand, “Shwi Music Production.”
Shwi’s decision to go solo was met with skepticism by some, but he proved his doubters wrong with the success of his debut album. Fans praised him for taking the bold step of leaving the duo group and producing a project that exceeded expectations.
The anticipation surrounding “Sengozibonela Phambili” is palpable, and fans are eagerly waiting for the album’s release. Shwi’s unique sound and style, which blends traditional Zulu music with modern elements, have endeared him to fans across South Africa.
