Fans of Muanetsheli Muimbi can look forward to a new album, which will contain many of her popular singles. The artist spent most of her Easter holiday in a studio, working on her first house music album that is expected to be released later this year.
Thendo Mashapha, who is best known by her stage name of Muanetsheli Muimbi, said that she was working with well-known musicians from the Vhembe area on the new album. The album will include singles such as Athifari Khotho, Ndono Kangwa and Dzinwe Thama.
The 20-year-old from Tshilamba village outside Thohoyandou surprised her fans earlier this year when she released her first gospel song, titled Tshilidzi tshau. Muanetsheli is also a talented dancer and an entertaining performer.
"I have always been a great dancer, even as a child. I used to love music and dancing in front of the mirror, pretending that I am performing in front of a large audience," she said. She aims to gain international recognition.
"I am working very hard to make sure that I get recognised in the music industry. I want my music to be played on TV, and I will not give up until I get there," she added.
