AN HONOUR

Lwah tells ZiMoja that it has been an honour to be partnered up with a legend at such an early stage of her career. "Wow! This is big. Merging Kwaito with my sound means taking SA music to the next level. I grew up listening to Bab' Mdu and to work with him is a dream come true." Mdu says, as a legend to still be called and stay relevant is an honour. "Many legends don't get to share stages with the new and young. For our music to still be loved and appreciated even with the new school is great. I hope to do more collaborations and partnerships with young people. Moshito has changed many lives and we are grateful." Mdu is celebrated as one of the pioneers of the kwaito music genre, alongside iconic acts such as Boom Shaka, Trompies, and Mandoza. He made an indelible mark in the 1990s, shaping the Kwaito movement and captivating audiences with his distinctive sound.
