First Release Under Universal Music Sets the Stage for Upcoming Project ‘Fresh Prince of Ka Gaza’
Tsonga Star Ushers in New Era
Musa Keys, the Tsonga-born trailblazer in South African music, kicks off a fresh chapter in his career with the release of ‘Cina’, a powerful new single featuring the celebrated duo Murumba Pitch. This marks Musa’s first official offering since signing with Universal Music, signaling both a return to his roots and a bold step forward in his artistic evolution.
A Song Sung in Xitsonga, A Sound Grounded in Home
Performed entirely in Xitsonga, ‘Cina’ blends Musa’s signature melodic finesse with a rich, textured production that honors the culture and rhythm of Gaza Township—his place of origin and ongoing creative muse. The collaboration with Murumba Pitch elevates the track into a heartfelt tribute to place, language, and legacy.
The Fresh Prince of Ka Gaza Emerges
‘Cina’ sets the tone for Musa Keys’ forthcoming project, ‘Fresh Prince of Ka Gaza’, an ambitious body of work that promises to delve even deeper into the artist’s identity and musical philosophy. It’s a statement of intent—one that embraces tradition while exploring the edges of contemporary South African sound.
From Local Favorite to Global Force
Musa Keys’ rise has been nothing short of meteoric. A Grammy nomination brought him global recognition, and his opening performance for Chris Brown’s South African tour placed him on one of the country’s biggest stages. Back home, Musa continues to collect accolades with nominations at the SAMAs and SAAMAs, affirming his influence within the Amapiano genre and the broader African music scene.
A Sonic Celebration of Heritage
With ‘Cina’, Musa Keys doesn’t just drop a single—he opens a cultural conversation. Rooted in pride and elevated by collaboration, this release serves as both a musical homecoming and a declaration of where he’s headed next. As ‘Fresh Prince of Ka Gaza’ approaches, all ears are on Musa Keys.
