Embracing our roots and establishing a communication with our ancestors through traditional melodies, uMkhulekelwa’s newest album Amahlikihliki offers a poignant reflection of our being and origin.
uMkhulekelwa is one of the biggest traditional artists in South Africa and his contributions to the Maskandi sound can’t be overemphasized. The artist has accomplished and had so much recognition for his work. He’s one of the few local artists that has successfully surpassed the 20 million cumulative stream mark.
Continuing to swell his catalog, uMkhulekelwa is here with his long awaited album ‘Amahlikihliki.’ Loaded with 15 tracks, the album comes with refined Maskandi melodies that turn the anticipation of Saturday night into an unforgettable dancefloor triumph.
Each tune is well-thought-out, bringing melodies that not only make us want to dance really hard but creates a somewhat connection between us and our ancestors. Whether it’s played live or through headphones, the melodies on tracks that make up this project can be heard blissfully, connecting everything to its essence.
Unlike uMkhulekelwa’s previous releases, Amahlikihliki wasn’t available on YouTube on time, but the YouTube availability has been fixed.
“I would like to extend my sincerest apologies regarding the absence of the work on YouTube. I thought it would be a short while, but it seems to have taken much longer. However, I promise you it will be resolved soon. I know people are frustrated right now about the views because you have been waiting for a long time. Please continue to support me, and let’s go enjoy the music on Spotify. They are falling, gentlemen… to those who haven’t heard, I say you’re missing out.” – uMkhulekelwa
