PAN M 360 / TOP 100 : Sho Madjozi – Chalé

· by Salima Bouaraour

Over the past few weeks, our most active record reviewers have had the task of choosing their 5 favorite recordings of 2023, and here they are. This selection is unique and quite different of all you can find on the web or through traditional medias.

Maya Christinah Xichavo Wegerif, known under the nickname Sho Madjozi, is an explosively talented multidisciplinary artist! In her texts, choreographies and clips, she highlights the Tsonga culture, linked to the peoples located between the south of Mozambique and the north of South Africa.
Her musical catalog, rich and varied, as well as her notoriety, allow him to tour regularly in Africa but also in Europe or North America. Here, she rages with her title Chalé. Producer Tboy Daflame has concocted, once again (incredible success of the John Cena title in 2019), a hit bomb. A catchy rhythm combining South African percussion and round electro-bassy sounds where Sho Madjozi lays down his intoxicating voice. His flow, fast and incisive, is simply exceptional. Her unique style and sparkling energy make Chalé a pure gem.
