At the last Afropolitan Nights party of the year, which was held at Katzy’s in Rosebank on 9 November, we had the pleasure of watching Kabelo Mabalane perform singles from his new album. What a performance it was!

Well known from the days of TKZee, Kabelo has evolved from being “just a kwaito kid” – with the launch of his latest album, Immortal Vol. 1, he has emerged as a seasoned music artist transcending his own boundaries and upping the ante on the music scene. Working with well-renowned artists such as Danny K, Professor, The Parlotones and RJ Benjamin, Kabelo effortlessly moves through the different genres of kwaito, rock and R&B, producing hits that will surprise and delight his fans on this album.

From Amapantsula Ajabulile featuring Professor to Novacaine with Danny K, Kabelo successfully manages to bring two different sides of the South African music industry together to produce magic. Sexy tracks on the album including Bouga Ngiyak’thanda and Like I Do featuring Lungi Naidoo will take listeners back to the much-loved “Bouga Luv” style without losing the edge of an artist who still has his finger on the pulse.
