LIMPOPO – FANS of reggae musician Rastaman Nkhushu, whose real name is Mackson Hlagala, will be ecstatic to hear that his much-awaited fifth album will be released later this year.
The last time Nkhushu released an album was in 2010.
The album, which was titled Mphe Sebakanyana, was nominated for the MTN South African Music Awards in 2011.
The new album will contain 12 hot songs including Bosehlanyana, Samma, Ga bantulele, If you wanna know me, Pula Pula Feela and Nna NkaseTlogele borasta.
“Since 2011, I have been promoting my reggae album all over South Africa, as well as performing with different artists at various events.
“I also formed my own music label called khushukhushu that promotes and markets different musicians like Sophy Mmako, Mokgadi, Trica Selala and Bahlankana,” he said.
“I worked in different places with many TV productions like Ezomoya from Soweto TV.
“Then I was involved with many people and I was marketing and promoting pastor Mporo of Incredible Happenings Ministry in Limpopo.
The new album will contain 12 hot songs including Bosehlanyana, Samma, Ga bantulele, If you wanna know me, Pula Pula Feela and Nna NkaseTlogele borasta.
“I also marketed the Judy Paradise Centre on TV and radio.
“I promoted the Winnie Mashaba talent search project called Rorisa Fela gospel choir in Lebowakgomo, and the I Can Sing project of the department of sport, arts and culture in Limpopo,” he said.
He further said he signed a music deal with international record company Afro Coffee Red Bull Music to release his music internationally with artists like Zahara, Soul Brothers, Freshly Ground, Yvonne Chaka Chaka and Nkule Dube.
“I didn’t know that people all over the country enjoyed my music label Sepedi. My new album I have produced myself because I learned many things about music and recording from my producer, Richard Siluma.
“On my new CD I have included traditional elements, a touch of gospel, ragga dance hall, reggae and English songs.
The album talks about love, respect, happiness and my Rasta religion, because many people criticise the Rasta religion,” he said.
