The music scene has been graced with a new release. The infectious and vibrant Shaka iLembe soundtrack album is out. It is a collection of amahubo, amapiano, Afrosoul, and Afrotech, featuring songs from award-winning musicians such as Ann Masina, Mbuso Khoza, Buhlebendalo, Philip Miller, Vusi Nova, and many more.

The first collection features the title sequence ‘Ungowamakhosi’, Nandi’s theme song ‘Njomane’, Shaka’s song, ‘iLembe’, Zwide’s Song, and many more. As you may have noticed from the various titles, just like the series Shaka iLembe itself, the music celebrates Shaka Zulu and other African icons.

You can stream the first seven tracks on major digital music streaming services. 

The series has already gained immense popularity and smashed viewership and streaming records. We do not doubt that the soundtrack will achieve the same.

It has already received positive feedback. Here's what some of you had to say:
