Mfana Kah Gogo Opens Up About What Made Him Miss Out On An International Feature. Sipho Mbonambi, also known as Mfana Kah Gogo, is a South African musician who was born in 2004. Under the care of his grandmother, the Durban star grew up in a remote region called eMangangeni in Kwazulu Natal. Since his debut, the hitmaker has been on a quest to carve out a place for himself on the airwaves. Since he began singing at the age of seven, when he was in grade two, the gifted prodigy has made a lot of appearances on the airwaves.
Mfana ka Gogo (18), got a chance to work with American Singer, Olivia Theresa Longott who is known for performing with hip-hop group G-unit. He says his manager received a call from Sony about a song by Olivia, which needed to be remixed in two genres and he understood the assignment.
“The label called my manager and they said Olivia had a song which needed to be remixed into Afro pop and then the other remix will be Amapiano. We did record the song and it was sent back to the label, and they loved it. Then they said we can now work together, and started sending some paperwork,” he shared.
He says although he did not get an opportunity to work with the American singer in person because of school, he hopes that the collaboration will open doors for him. “The song was dropped this side because I am still at school, so we were not able to travel to America. We recorded and added a verse, and they asked me to add a Zulu verse, so that it symbolizes that the song comes from South Africa. Working with her gives me hope that I will be able to do more in future,” he opened up.
The song is titled Join me which he says it is about “joining a good party”. “The song does not have a release date as yet, but it will come out soon, once the processes of mastering have been completed.” Even though being at school and working on his music can get busy, the star says he wouldn’t change it for the world; while he enjoys doing his gigs on weekends.
