‘We present to you our debut album “MKHAYA” dropping 18 Oct 2024 🛖. Mkhaya means Family, Home, Unity in Colloquial language. Mkhaya is also used as a way to refer to your fellow brother/sister or even a friend from one’s home region or belonging to one clan. We named the album Mkhaya as we are home boys, we come from the same Hometown called Kabokweni. The music we produced in this album we refer to it as Mkhaya music, this is music that you can listen to with your families, music that you can listen to at home chilling, music that can heal you, music that unites people. The mission was to showcase the world how versatile Shakes & Les is, by leaning more to the soulful side of our production. Soulful music involves a lot of different types of feelings, makes one become emotional, making you relate the song to a situation you might have faced in life.’ – Shakes & Les
