Move On

# Ojakalasi’s *Move On* brings a collaborative edge to Maskandi

Ojakalasi’s *Move On* is a five-track Maskandi EP scheduled for release on 30 April 2026. The project is built around a notably broad cast of collaborators, giving each song the feel of a shared performance rather than a strictly solo statement.

The EP opens with “kuleyo mnyango”, featuring Lwazi Mngadi, Thabiso Masuku, Aphiwe Sithukuthezi and Asiphe Sithukuthezi. The title track, “Move On”, follows with contributions from Bhambatha and the same group of recurring collaborators. Their repeated presence across the project creates a clear sense of continuity, with the EP’s vocal and artistic identity spread across a close-knit ensemble.

That collaborative structure remains central on “Ama Player”, while “Ngingalindele” and “Intandane” add Maqatha to the lineup. Across all five tracks, Ojakalasi is joined by some combination of Mngadi, Masuku and the Sithukuthezi siblings, making the guest appearances feel purposeful rather than incidental.

There is also a useful symmetry to the tracklist: “kuleyo mnyango” begins the EP with one version of the core lineup, while “Intandane” closes it with Maqatha alongside Aphiwe Sithukuthezi, Asiphe Sithukuthezi, Thabiso Masuku and Lwazi Mngadi. With its compact runtime implied by the five-song format and its consistently collaborative cast, *Move On* presents itself as a focused Maskandi release with ensemble energy at its centre.

For listeners exploring new South African Maskandi, the EP is worth noting for its concentrated format and the way it brings Ojakalasi together with a recurring network of artists. *Move On* arrives on 30 April 2026.
