Sjava and Big Zulu, collectively Inkabi Zezwe, have released their debut single as a duo titled ‘Umbayimbayi’ which serves as the lead single to their one-time joint project ‘Ukhamba’.
Produced by Inkabi Records artist and producer Xowla Shabalala, also known as Stallion, “Umbayimbayi” is an Afro-Pop ballad mixed in with Maskandi and Mbhaqanga elements.
In the chorus they sing; ‘Sengizok’ thengel’ umbayimbayi we dali / udubul’ intaba zangakini / uzong’ bona njalo’. As the IsiZulu term for a canon, Inkabi Zezwe use the image of umbayimbayi to describe the depth and breadth of an enduring love that triumphs over any obstacle in its path – even the highest mountain.
Inkabi Zezwe ‘s album ‘Ukhamba’ will be released on May 12. Inkabi Zezwe will soon be embarking on a nationwide tour with stops at Sunset Arena in Time Square on June 23, Grandwest Arena on July 29, the Big Top Arena (Carnival City) on August 26 and will end off the tour in KwaZulu Natal at the Hollywoodbets Kings Park Stadium. Tickets to the tour are now available on Computicket here.
