Entertainment SA is led to believe that there is a massive collaboration planned by music heavyweights, Sjava and Big Zulu.
The fans of two of South Africa’s heavyweight entertainers Sjava and Big Zulu are set to be treated to quality music as the pair announced a joint project.
Titled ‘Inkabi Zezwe’, the single is slated for March 24 and an album in May with Warner Music Africa (WMA).
Inkabi Zezwe – an isiZulu term of endearment that, when used in the context of music, describes a unified brotherhood that is representative and reflective of the nation.
Zezwe means ‘of the Nation’, simply put, Sjava & Big Zulu are two giants who have united for this once-off collaboration as an offering to the nation – the duo is set to release the first single titled ‘Umbayimbayi’.
This publication understands that the collaboration with WMA on this project has been well in the works and marks a new horizon for both the label and the artists. WMA, MD Temi Adeniji recalls:
“This idea started to percolate of 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. After a few months, we came to a meeting of the minds, and it was like everything clicked. For me, this project signifies so much. It’s the first really big project Warner has done since I came in and given our intention to transform our business and really bring it to the centre of the culture here in the country, it couldn’t be more perfect in my opinion.”
According to 1020 Cartel Co-Director, Nothando Migogo: “As much as it may seem like an unexpected collaboration, it also feels so natural. It just makes sense considering who, what, and where both artists represent. An unsurprising surprise. Really excited to witness how South Africa responds to this project.”
To kick off an exciting rollout for this game-changing project, WMA hosted a press conference on the 17th of March at World of Yamaha Woodmead, in association with Yamaha, Coco-Cola, and Distell.
“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 to give 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 spiritual and gifted individuals” said Leroy Khoza, Co-Founder of Nkabi Records.
