SAMA nominated Afrosoul artist and medical doctor Dr Smama is releasing Isifiso Sami, his first collaboration with Mafikizolo's Nhlanhla Mafu.
South African music is looking back to traditional storytelling for inspiration as Afro soul vocalist and medical doctor Dr Smama teams up with Mafikizolo vocalist Nhlanhla Mafu on a new love song.
The SAMA-nominated artist, whose real name is Sindile Simama, and Mafu will release Isifiso Sami ('My Wish') on Friday, September 4.
The track combines contemporary Afro soul with the nostalgic sound of traditional Maskandi guitar, offering a different take on the modern love song.
For Dr Smama, the release represents a departure from his usual approach. The songwriter, who has written songs for artists including Berita, Nokwazi and the late Lundi Tyamara, recorded a song written by an outside composer for the first time in his career.
