MBABANE – Sands and Msimisi are set out to make magic! The two Eswatini
vocally gifted artists have collaborated in making a song which has been given
the title ‘Zumbu’.
The song, however, will drop on January and already, a promotion video of it is
still being shot with dancer and Kids In Motion founder Velile Dube.
Sands, real name Sandziso Matsebula, got his big break through his song
‘Tigi’ and he has been making hits ever since.
Msimisi, full name Msimisi Sithole, has recently collaborated with South African
rapper Nasty C and other after winning the ‘Lift As You Rise’ initiative by
Redbull Music and Tall Racks Records.
Msimisi confirmed the collaboration, stating that him and Sands had mutual
respect for each other’s craft.
“When I wrote this song I knew he would be the perfect fit vocally and
lyrically. Also, male vocalists rarely collaborate so I knew it was a stereotype
I wanted to break.
“The song is entitled ‘Zumbu’ and you can already tell from the title what
it is about. It is a feel good, dance song and honestly probably my favourite
work. The insanely talented Slotta is on production and we recorded at New Life
Studios,” said Msimisi.
He also said the song itself is different to anything they have done and
probably still his favourite.
Quality
“Every person involved in it is amazing at what they do and was intentional
about quality. I am excited for you all to hear it once we have decided when to
drop it,” he said.
Sands confirmed the collaboration.
“Yes we have collaborated and I am excited about it,” he said.
Collaborations are not new with Sands as he has collaborated with The Village
Pope Tsepo Tshola in their song ‘Ngiyathandaza’ and South Africa’s Loyiso
Bala in ‘Ndimbonile’.
