Nengovhela releases debut album

 

Phalaphala FM presenter Humbulani Nengovhela recently released his debut album, The best of Muphirimia.

According to Nengovhela, who hails from Tshaulu, the album is doing well commercially, for which he is grateful. He said that the road to where he is today was a long and winding one and establishing himself in the music industry was difficult.

“Recording the album was not easy,” Nengovhela confessed. Despite having plenty of songs ready, he had to fund the project himself. To enhance his writing and composition skills, he took piano lessons. “Colbert Mukwevho was my role model and he encouraged me a lot.”

He started his musical career when he was still young as part of a church choir. He grew up listening to famous musicians such as Peter Tosh, Bob Marley, Eric Donaldson and many more, from whom he drew great inspiration. “I fell in love with music at a young age. Reggae music was always in my bones,” he said.

Music observers have told him that he was gaining great popularity among reggae music lovers because of his unique style which consists of heavy bass and some chopping sounds, and occasional well-positioned brass.

He sings about personal experiences, “and what I see happening in my vicinity. I also give advice here and there through my music and, by the look of things, I will continue singing this type of music, as it is proving very popular,” he said.

Nengovhela’s debut album consists of a couple of already popular songs, such as Marriage, Mishumo and Black Leopards, as well as eight reggae songs.
