The Award-winning artist and visionary behind Inkabi Records, Big Zulu, proudly announced the release of his highly anticipated 4th studio album, ‘Ngises’Congweni’. Available in all digital stores as of 27th March 2024, this album represents a monumental peak in Big Zulu’s illustrious career, mirroring the majestic heights of the Drakensberg Mountains that inspired its title.
‘Ngises’Congweni’, translating to ‘at the peak of the mountain’, is not only a nod to Big Zulu’s birthplace, Bergville, a town cradled by the Drakensberg mountains, but also symbolises his tenacity in the music industry. Big Zulu expressed his gratitude,“ Mina ngithanda ukubonga bonke abalaleli bam, today I would not have been here if you did not show me love and support in this music industry.”
Stepping away from his renowned bar-to-bar rap style, Big Zulu introduces fans to a genre-defining blend of sounds with ‘Ngises’Congweni’. The album is a vibrant tapestry of Afro Pop, Maskandi, and Hip Hop, a concoction Big Zulu refers to as ‘Ushuni’. This sound not only showcases his musical evolution and versatility but also serves as a bridge between traditional and urban music, appealing to both the young and old.
Each track in ‘Ngises’Congweni’ is a narrative, weaving together stories of love, community, hope, death, and poverty. It’s a message-driven journey intended to resonate deeply with its listeners, transcending beyond mere entertainment to stir the soul and spark conversations.
Big Zulu stands at the forefront of this innovative genre, and ‘Ngises’Congweni’ is a testament to his pioneering spirit. It’s an invitation to explore the depths of musical artistry, blending the old with the new, the traditional with the urban.
‘Ngises’Congweni’ is now available for your listening pleasure on all digital platforms. Embrace the journey to the peak with Big Zulu, and let the harmonies of ‘Ngises’Congweni’ inspire you to new heights.
