2024 Umbuso Wamaciko Maskandi Festival: A Musical Extravaganza Awaits!

2024 Umbuso Wamaciko Maskandi Festival: A Musical Extravaganza Awaits!

Powerhouse in the maskandi music production scene Umbuso Wamaciko is preparing for the return of their legendary festival. The 2024 Umbuso Wamaciko Maskandi Festival is expected to be even bigger and better following its triumphant debut the previous year. On September 23, 2024, the event will be held at the esteemed Durban Workshop in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.

The news is much anticipated by fans of maskandi music, even if the list of performers, MCs, and DJs is yet unknown. Fans are waiting at the bit to see who will take the stage as the tension builds. But one thing is for sure: the festival will honor the rich history of maskandi music while showcasing its biggest artists. Because of Mthandeni Sk’s abrupt and disrespectful departure from the Umbuso Wamaciko Maskandi Festival 2024, its administrators are probably going to give him the cold shoulder this year. A sudden increase in his booking fee from R150,000 to R200,000 following the success of his song “Paris” on YouTube caused the declared maskandi king to abruptly withdraw from the performance.

Many branded Mthandeni Sk as ungrateful and conceited, and his bold decision left a bad taste in the mouths of both organizers and spectators. It was viewed as a slap in the face that he broke their agreement and demanded a higher cost at the last minute, as the event planners had previously made accommodations for him with a large agreement. Who knows if the organizers of the event will be willing to get past their mistakes and give Mthandeni Sk another shot in 2024? Given his enormous popularity and the excitement behind his music, it would be wise to include him on the schedule. It remains to be seen, though, if the artist has learned from his previous errors and will act more politely this time.

Unexpectedly, prominent event planner Geh Ngcobo recently revealed that he would be giving one of those who performed a brand-new, opulent car as a gift. The maskandi music scene’s top ten performers, including Mnikezwa, Mlabalaba, Menzi, Mafikizolo, Mjabulisi, Saliwa, Laxhabha, Qgizile, Mkhulekelwa, and Mtuyenziwa, were on his shortlist. Voting for one’s favorite musician was encouraged by Ngcobo, and the response was overwhelmingly positive. Mnikezwa was the undisputed fan favorite, with Mlabalaba lagging closely behind.

The Umbuso Wamaciko Maskandi Festival in 2024 is expected to be an unforgettable evening filled with captivating acts, breathtaking costumes, and a contagious enthusiasm that will leave the spectators yearning for more. Put September 28th on the schedules and get ready for the greatest maskandi music event!
