Finally, the long-awaited debut album
by Makwarela’s very own Ras Judah is
out. Titled “Let thy kingdom come”, the album boasts 7 original reggae
tracks. This album will introduce fans to the man who has a slick and hypnotic
voice. Wherever Ras Judah and his
band perform, people are always left yearning for more.
Although this is Ras Judah’s maiden album, he has been in the music scene from a
very young age, singing in informal youth bands and also in church. Having been
raised in a family where reggae sounds were constantly blazing, it is no surprise
that this devout rasta chose this genre and made it his own. He has worked with
seasoned artists such as ‘Gift Maringa’
and ‘Jah Soldiers’ on their recent
projects, ‘Avha nne’ and ‘Nndededze’ respectively. He has an
amazing voice that cuts through the music and make the listener easily fall in
love with his music.
The album opens with the title track,
“Thy kingdom come”. This version
features ‘Wire’, ‘360’ and ‘Jah Soldiers’ on vocals. The acoustic version of the same song is
also on the album (track 4) and features ‘Bellafonte’.
‘You’ is a love song, which
according to Judah himself was inspired, written and sung for a very special
person in his life. With the catchy line “hezwi vha tshi mmbona ndo tou rali, ndi ene”
shaped romantically, it promises to be a song to celebrate love in this women’s
month. Dancehall singer ‘Ras Mash’
comes with guns blazing on Track 5 titled ‘Rise
again’. Other songs include ‘See us
through’, ‘Nnditsheni ndi tuwe’
and the bonus track ‘Mary Jane’.
The
album was produced by Tendamudzimu
Netshilulu and Mulalo Mukwevho,
while all the songs were composed by Ntshudu
“Ras Judah” Guduvheni.
