# uMzingeli Announces *Kuyophela Siyofana*, a New Maskandi Album

Maskandi artist uMzingeli is set to release *Kuyophela Siyofana*, an eight-track album arriving on 13 October 2026.

The project places uMzingeli firmly within the Maskandi tradition while introducing a concise set of collaborations across the tracklist. Featured appearances come from Londeka Shangase, Mxegisi, Location PK and Somcwayi, giving the album a broader vocal and artistic palette without moving away from its central identity.

The album opens with its title track, “Kuyophela siyofana”, followed by “Asbalobole” featuring Londeka Shangase and “Ama ex” featuring Mxegisi. The middle of the project includes “Khuluma ubheka”, “Juba lami” and “Mjolo wami” with Location PK, before “40 years” featuring Somcwayi and the closing track, “Isandla somuntu”.

At eight songs, *Kuyophela Siyofana* is a focused release rather than an extended project. Its tracklist balances solo performances with four collaborations, making the guest appearances part of the album’s shape rather than an afterthought. For listeners following contemporary Maskandi, the project offers a chance to hear what uMzingeli brings to the genre through a compact album built around both individual tracks and collaborative moments.

*Kuyophela Siyofana* will be released on 13 October 2026.
