Chesterville-born singer, Azana releases her sophomore album, ‘IGAGU’ today, following her debut album ‘Ingoma’ released in 2020.
During the listening session at Untitled Basement yesterday, Azana shared the album's underlying meaning and broke down each track.
See the break-down of some of her tracks below:
“When I was doing my first album, we called it ‘Ingoma’, a song, something really simple. It was me just giving to the industry and now we are here… ‘IGAGU’ because I’ve gone through so many things and I finally feel that I can be more confident than ever,” said Azana.
"When we were growing up, there would always be someone in a choir setting who would always sing first, and then others join them. In my language, IsiZulu, this individual is called IGAGU. Because of the love I have for music and the arts, I have always stood out in a group of singers and creatives; I participated in music my whole school career, and as I grew older, I gained the confidence to direct musically and lead in the choirs I was in and became IGAGU! That’s why I ended up choosing that title because I am more confident and ready to conquer the world.”
As fans have grown to expect from Azana, the 10-track album is a mixture of Afro-Soul and Afro-House.
