A Musical Extravaganza is About to Happen at the Umbuso Wamaciko Maskandi Festival in 2024!
Powerhouse Umbuso Wamaciko, a leader in the maskandi music production scene, is preparing for the return of their famous event. The Umbuso Wamaciko Maskandi Festival is set to return in 2024 with even greater promises following its triumphant start the previous year. The event is scheduled for September 23, 2024, at the esteemed Durban Workshop in KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa.
Maskandi music fans are excitedly awaiting the confirmation, even if the list of performers, MCs, and DJs is yet unknown. There’s an actual feeling of tension, and spectators are itching to see who will take the stage. All agree that the festival will honor the rich history of maskandi music while showcasing its best performers.
Mthandeni Sk’s sudden and unprofessional departure from the Umbuso Wamaciko Maskandi Festival 2024 is probably going to make those in charge take a chilly view on him this year. After his song “Paris” went viral on YouTube, the self-proclaimed maskandi king abruptly left from the performance, alleging a sudden increase in his booking price from R150,000 to R200,000.
Many fans and organizers found Mthandeni Sk to be conceited and ungrateful, leaving a bad taste in their mouths after his bold decision. The fact that he broke their agreement and demanded a higher charge at the last minute was perceived as a smack in the face, especially because the event planners had already made a generous accommodation for him.
In 2024, who knows if the festival organizers will be ready to move past their mistakes and give Mthandeni Sk another opportunity? It would be a calculated decision to include him in the lineup given his wide appeal and the excitement surrounding his album. Nevertheless, it remains to be seen if the artist has grown from his previous errors and will act more politely this time.
The announcement that famous event planner Geh Ngcobo will be giving one of the performing artists a brand-new, opulent car came as a shocking surprise. His shortlist included Mnikezwa, Mlabalaba, Menzi, Mafikizolo, Mjabulisi, Saliwa, Laxhabha, Qgizile, Mkhulekelwa, and Mtuyenziwa, among other notable individuals in the maskandi music industry. The response to Ngcobo’s invitation to cast a vote for their favorite performer was overwhelmingly positive. Mlabalaba trailed closely behind Mnikezwa as the undisputed fan favorite.
With exciting shows, gorgeous attire, and a contagious spirit that will leave fans clamoring for more, the Umbuso Wamaciko Maskandi Festival 2024 is promising to be a night to remember. Set September 28th as the date on your calendars and prepare yourself for the greatest maskandi music festival ever
