Speaking to IOL, WMA, MD Temi Adeniji says with this collaboration they wanted to do something special: “This idea started to percolate bringing Sjava and Big Zulu together for a one-time project. We wanted to do something really special. Things didn’t immediately fall into place – meeting after meeting, putting all the pieces together, and coming up with a structure that worked for all parties.
“When our ancestors speak, our duty is to listen and respond. This collaboration was orchestrated in the spiritual realm. It was supposed to happen and bring healing to our people. This project speaks of everything that affects the lives of our people; it will resonate and connect with people on a higher level. This is the coming together of two spiritually and intellectually gifted individuals,” echoes Leroy Khoza, co-founder of Nkabi Records.
The two artists are known for their authentically Zulu and South African sound and their fans can’t wait to be part of this experience, a coming together of great minds.
