Ulova

# Mjabulisi no Mnotho’s *Ulova* is a six-track Maskandi EP built around collaboration

South African Maskandi duo Mjabulisi no Mnotho introduce *Ulova*, a six-track EP released on 18 December 2025. The project is a concise set that places collaboration at the centre of its identity, with Sphephelo Ngcobo appearing across all six tracks.

The EP opens with its title track, “Ulova”, setting up a release that keeps its focus tight rather than stretching into a long-form album. Ngcobo features again on “Nami angazih”, “Gxuma ubheke le” and “Kunini”, while “Isibutubutu” expands the guest list with an additional appearance from Khaya.

“Kwehla abokugcina” is the project’s most collaborative entry, credited to Mjabulisi no Mnotho alongside Mjabulsi no Mnotho and Sphephelo Ngcobo. That credit gives the track a distinct place within the sequence, while the repeated presence of Ngcobo provides a clear thread connecting the EP from beginning to end.

As a Maskandi release, *Ulova* will appeal to listeners looking for a focused project rooted in the genre’s South African tradition, but its compact format and recurring guest appearances make it especially easy to approach as a complete listen. With six tracks and a consistent collaborative framework, the EP presents Mjabulisi no Mnotho in a direct, tightly packaged release.

*Ulova* is available from 18 December 2025.
