uYena, Pt. 2

# Gaba Cannal returns with *uYena, Pt. 2*

Gaba Cannal’s *uYena, Pt. 2* is a five-track amapiano album arriving on 30 October 2026. The project follows a compact, collaboration-led format, with the producer and artist joined by a wide range of vocalists and fellow amapiano figures across its tracklist.

The album opens with “Sukulila [Ziyakhala Namhlanje]”, featuring Kandybeats, Mshengu, Kabelo Sings and Mashudu. Its title—translated in the track listing as “Don’t Cry [It Is Happening Today]”—gives the release an immediately expressive opening, while the unusually large vocal lineup suggests a song built around layered voices and shared presence.

“uBufakazi” follows with The Bless, ChubbyCheeks and PaezSA. The project then moves into “Yaba Ye”, which brings together Zano, Villosoul and The Bless, giving The Bless a second appearance and adding continuity between the album’s middle tracks.

The final half of *uYena, Pt. 2* takes a more place- and identity-driven turn in its titles. “Savoy Gardens” features London Roots Boiz, while the closing track, “Church Boy”, features Djy Jaivane. Together, the titles add a sense of location and character to a project otherwise defined by its rotating cast of collaborators.

At five tracks, *uYena, Pt. 2* is a concise listen rather than an expansive album. Its appeal lies in the concentrated format and the strength of its pairings: Gaba Cannal uses each track to connect with different artists, while The Bless and the recurring amapiano presence across the project help give the release a sense of cohesion.

For listeners following Gaba Cannal’s amapiano work, the album offers a focused set of new collaborations, moving from the multi-artist opener to a closing pairing with Djy Jaivane. *uYena, Pt. 2* is set for release on 30 October 2026.
