Zanefa Ngidi keeps his traditional run going with “Ikhekhe Lami,” a Maskandi collaboration featuring Masinga from his latest project. The record appears as the fourth track on the Oshiphigwebu EP, released through Hlomza Music Production.
The title translates to “My Cake” in English. That simple phrase carries the song’s identity, though the music does most of the speaking. At just over five minutes, the track stretches out comfortably. Acoustic guitar picking and rolling concertina melodies build the foundation, while both voices trade lines in that conversational style Maskandi fans know well.
Ngidi’s delivery stays rooted in the genre’s storytelling tradition. Masinga adds another layer to the performance without pulling it away from its earthy feel. The extended arrangement gives both artists room to develop the vibe naturally.
Positioned as the fourth track on Oshiphigwebu, “Ikhekhe Lami” adds another authentic touch to the project. Listeners who value the genuine character of South African Maskandi will find plenty to appreciate here. Stream “Ikhekhe Lami” and tell us what you think in the comment section below.
