Moses Chabalala, who released a monster hit in 2009, is back with a bang and more determined to make it this time.
Chavalala, of Makhuvha village outside Thohoyandou, made a name for himself when he released a big hit album, Mr Hummer Volume 1. The artist is back full steam and has released another CD, Mr Hummer Volume 2.
The album promises fireworks and, judging by the response since its release last week, it is bound to take the artist to greater heights. “I have learnt a lesson; signing contracts that one does not know, can make one very poor. My album sold thousands of copies, but to tell the truth, I did not get a cent from the sales of the album. I have learnt the hard way, but I am determined to make it this time around,” he said.
He said the shortfalls did not discourage him from continuing composing more music. “Music is in my blood, with or without money. I just love spreading messages through my music, and I will continue doing so,” he added.
Chavalala said he also changed his music to Makhwaya, which is doing the trick as it is becoming a fast seller. The album was recorded at JTK Productions in Thohoyandou and is available at most record shops around the country.

The revival of Tshivenda traditional music is not just the pipe dream of some idealists. Judging by the turnout during a meeting held in Thohoyandou this past weekend, this form of music is about to undergo a major revival.
Tshivenda traditional-music lovers are in for a treat with a collaboration between Tshivenda traditional music legend and veteran Solomon Mathase and popular poet and guitarist Dzomo la Venda. The two were spotted on Saturday, 20 April, at a function in Thohoyandou where they showcased their talents during a live performance.
During a Sunday sermon, Bishop Johannes Muofhe of the World Mission Church’s Fondwe branch prophesied that a musician, someone other than a member of the worship team, would emerge from the church.
With a successful roots-reggae album titled “Shandukani” to his name, Fhatuwani Richard Mashele is quickly becoming a household name in South African music. Better known as Jah Saint in music circles, Mashele believes that success does not come overnight and that one must work hard to earn it.
