# Babomncane introduces *Sekukaningi*, a 13-track Maskandi album

Babomncane’s *Sekukaningi* is a 13-track Maskandi album arriving in 2026, built around a strong collaborative presence from Sgwebo Sentambo. Across the project, Sgwebo Sentambo appears on every song, making the collaboration central to the album’s identity rather than an occasional feature.

The album opens with “Bhinca Lami”, featuring Sgwebo Sentambo and Njabulo Langa, before moving into “Usawoti Olwandle”, a larger ensemble cut with Shenge Wasehlalankosi and Cevuzile alongside Sgwebo Sentambo. The title track follows as the third song, with Sgwebo Sentambo, establishing *Sekukaningi* early as a project shaped by recurring musical partnerships.

That consistency continues through the tracklist. Sgwebo Sentambo is credited across all 13 tracks, while additional appearances come from Uqoqa on “Ngeke Ngikuyeke”, Umnotho on “Umuntu Westhathu” and “Ngiyaqala”, and Umnotho and Mjabulisi on the closing track, “Isithembu Sakho”. The result is an album that combines a defined central pairing with a wider circle of Maskandi voices.

The track titles point to a release grounded in the expressive, conversational character associated with the genre. Songs such as “Sixabene Sodwa”, “Umuntu Westhathu”, “Wayencono” and “Asinawo Amandla” sit alongside more personal-sounding titles including “Ngeke Ngikuyeke”, “Ngiyaqala” and “Ingoma Yami”. Without over-explaining the songs’ meanings, the sequence suggests a project interested in different shades of relationship, experience and self-expression.

At 13 tracks, *Sekukaningi* offers a full-length portrait of Babomncane’s Maskandi direction. Its most notable feature is the album-wide presence of Sgwebo Sentambo, supported by selective contributions from Njabulo Langa, Shenge Wasehlalankosi, Cevuzile, Uqoqa, Umnotho and Mjabulisi. For listeners following contemporary Maskandi collaborations, the album’s broad feature list and consistent central partnership make it a release worth placing on the radar in 2026.
