# Uqoqa announces 12-track maskandi album *NG'HAMBEMOYENI*

Uqoqa will release *NG'HAMBEMOYENI*, a 12-track maskandi album, on 23 September 2026. The project places the artist at the centre of a full-length release that also draws on a number of guest appearances, including contributions from Umnotho, Mjolisi, My ZUZU and Mjabulisi.

The album’s title track, “Ng'hambemoyeni”, features My ZUZU, while Mjolisi appears across “Sasvele Siyeke” and “Sekuzolunga”, and Umnotho contributes to “Sasvele Siyeke” and “Amandla Edlozi”. Mjabulisi is featured on “Uyena Lona”. These appearances give the tracklist a collaborative shape without taking focus away from Uqoqa’s role as the primary artist.

At 12 songs, *NG'HAMBEMOYENI* is substantial enough to present a broad view of Uqoqa’s maskandi work. Its tracklist moves between collaborative cuts and solo performances, including “Impande Yesono”, “Igama Lokuphatha”, “True Love”, “Ungizondela Ubala”, “Emandulo”, “Sibuya Kwandlwana” and “Ngake Ngasebenza”. That balance makes the album feel designed as a complete project rather than a collection built solely around guest appearances.

The release is also notable for the range of titles gathered under one project. Alongside the title track are songs such as “Amandla Edlozi”, “Igama Lokuphatha” and “Ngake Ngasebenza”, suggesting a tracklist with varied points of focus, while “True Love” introduces a more direct romantic framing. The supplied information does not provide detailed song meanings or a broader statement from Uqoqa, so the album’s themes are best understood through its titles, sequencing and collaborations rather than assumed beyond them.

For listeners following contemporary maskandi, *NG'HAMBEMOYENI* offers a clear introduction to Uqoqa’s 2026 output: a 12-track album anchored by the artist’s own performances and expanded through carefully distributed guest features. It arrives on 23 September 2026.
