MATONGO Family recently took fans by surprise when they dropped their new album titled ‘Encore’ with a video featuring Maszanga.
The 16-track album consists of seven new songs and other hits from their previous albums due to public demand.
The group this time around teamed up with super producers Glo, Araffath, DJ Dozza and, of course, Damara Dik Ding.
They drummed up some interesting features including Tswazis, Sunny Boy, Brumeldha, Max-T and Melissa.
The wait is over as Mr Makoya expressed his gratitude to the fans who have been waiting in anticipation for the album for all these years. “The wait is definitely worth it, guys. As you know, we stay true to our style with every little bit of every spice Namibia has to offer to make a great Matongo album,” he said.
The group has chosen to release the album online first in support of donluafrica.com, a website which caters mainly to Namibian music, and encourages fans to first go the digital route before CD copies are available at their #SaveKatuturaHall initiative on 23 November.
The group is aiming to raise N$400 000 to help renovate the 54-year old building in the community.
“We’re moving in a digital era. Our minister of ICT has been preaching we should embrace technology,” said Thembizo.
