“I saw the need of reminding fans how the genre was like during the olden days. I’ll sing my old songs that introduced me to the industry,” he said.
Over the years, Ihhashi Elimhlophe has released 29 albums and won many awards. He worked with other legendary musicians including late Mfaz’ Omnyama and Phuzekhemisi.
His albums, including Uqanduqandu, Ama Waza Waza and Isiphalaphala, have wowed music fans.
“I’ve worked with many artists, including those who don’t sing maskandi. But I won’t reveal whether I’ve invited them to be part of the recording or not. I’ve experienced both challenging and exciting years as an artist, and this DVD is part of my celebration of survival and sustainability,” he said.
