Digital maskandi isn’t about pushing boundaries, it’s about doing away with them completely,” says Mashayabhuqe KaMamba.

“Everything I’ve ever released is just me taking all my influences and the world as I see it and putting it in the music,” he continues on the other end of the phone.

Saturday April 28. Four years ago, almost to the day, the then-little known musician had a breakout performance at the annual Back to the City festival. Given just under 15 minutes, he was one of the festival’s highlights, performing his debut EP The Black Excellence Show and introducing the world to his nascent digital maskandi sound.

Not since Jozi’s Muthaland Crunk had a South African artist blended maskandi and hip-hop so effectively. But whereas the trio of Da Les, Bongani Fassie and Crazy Lu’s blend of Zulu rhythms and crunk was decidedly in the realm of party music, Mashayabhuqe’s sound is a bit more avant-garde in its execution. Channelling influences from Busi Mhlongo and Madala Kunene to Kanye West and Bon Iver, the result is the 808-laden, autotune-heavy musings on the collapse of traditionalism and spirituality.

Heaven Blues/Emaweni – the first song on his latest EP, Nguniversal – starts with a looping folk guitar before erupting with trap drums and distorted vocals.

Similarly, his 2014 single Impendulo ka Baba begins with an interlude by the late Busi Mhlongo, before segueing into fast-swinging trap drums and loud synthesisers.

Izayoni Tribute – a tribute to his maternal grandmother – kicks off with distorted vocals reminiscent of My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy-era Kanye West, before switching to a trap-brass melody and heavy drumwork.

It’s not so much music as it as a collision of two opposing generations, with Mashayabhuqe acting as the interlocutor.

It’s a sentiment shared by Vosloorus-based artist A$AP Shembe. “I’m not too sure what to call my music,” he admits. “I reckon I’m just a messenger relaying my ancestors’ messages to the material world. It’s a spiritual thing.”

Like Mashayabhuqe, his music is influenced by traditional Zulu music (he cites Mhlongo, Phuzekemisi and Vusi Ximba as influences). But whereas the digital maskandi originator warns against losing one’s way in the face of modernism, Shembe’s music is animated by the violence and hardship around him.

“My name’s short for Aba Sindisiwe Aba Pheli Shembe,” he says. “I’m from a place that’s colloquially called ‘Enyokeni’ in Vosloorus and we have a saying there that goes, ‘Once lakugwinya, kunzima ukuphuma [Once the place swallows you in, it’s hard to escape]

In conclusion
