Zaacci Niguh sings good music

Read: 1259

The sounds of Zaacci Niguh as he belts out his lyrics leaves local music lovers wanting more from this singer, whose talent is quickly gaining momentum.

A resident of Tshikota, he was born Fhulufhelo Matumba some two decades ago, and he started singing and writing his own songs from the age of 12. He released his first single, Mushumo wo mphelela, in 2013 and the song went on to earn him a big  name among townspeople.

“Soon I was receiving calls from Musina and Tzaneen of people who had encountered my music and were all encouraging me to carry on doing the good music,” he said. “So, music means everything to me. I just can't put it in words, but it is everything to me. Without music I am actually nothing.”

He believes that music can influence people in a positive or negative way. “For example, those artists who rap about how alcohol and drugs are in vogue really influence people around the world, not only in our country, to try those things,” he said. “Those who rap about life, they show us light, and light is what the world needs at this stage.”

He mentioned HaaNdi YellowMah as a young artist whom he looked up to for inspiration. “He is a very strong guy whose confidence in music is infectious,” he said.

Zaacci Niguh had previously released songs such as Vhutsila ha ngosha and Confession. Those songs had endeared him to the hearts of many people, and he is now working towards releasing his debut album, Less talk more work.

Zaacci Niguh is available on Facebook and can be reached on 060 906 8843.
