Mafikizolo has been a popular duo musician for over 25 years. A quarter-century later, the afro-pop band are still exuding energy, gaining momentum, filling venues, playing around the world, and gaining legions of new fans. Their story is a perfect example of how relevance, longevity, and grace can work together. Following the success of their previous albums, Mafikizolo is set to release a new album this year.
It is through sheer hard work, determination, consistency, and respect for the craft that Mafikizolo has emerged as one of the most prominent groups on the African continent with a growing following. ‘Kwanele’, the duo’s new single featuring Sun-El Muscian & Kenzais is a testament to the timeless creation of their works. The song speaks about a person who has had enough of an abusive relationship and is ready to move on.
On the mid-tempo single Mafikizolo expresses how they are tired of expressing their endless love to non-responsive energy. Sun-El add his magic on Kwanele, giving it a broader audience as Mafikizolo are international performing artists.
Nhlanhla Mafu and Theo Kgosinkwe, releases their 12th album ‘iDwala’ later this year – and it’s a true tribute to their staying power. ‘iDwala’ means a boulder and a rock of ages. It speaks to how they have been a dependable voice in the industry, worth emulating and an inspiration to younger generations of music makers and is set to be filled with more incredible music from the duo.
