Sjava's Back! Inkanyezi 2.0 Live EP Drops - You Won't Believe It!
Mzansi's favourite son, Sjava, is back with a brand new offering for his legions of fans! Following the massive success of his critically acclaimed Inkanyezi Live EP, the multi-award-winning artist has unleashed Inkanyezi 2.0 Live EP. Think of it as a continuation of the story, a deepening of the energy that captivated hearts across South Africa and beyond.
This second chapter takes the raw emotion and electrifying spirit of Sjava's live performances and distills it into five brand new tracks. These aren't just studio recordings; they're captured moments in time, recorded live during unforgettable performances at the Joburg Theatre (15–16 August 2025), just three weeks before the EP's release. That's fresh!
Sjava himself describes the difference: “The first Inkanyezi was a glimpse of what performing live means to me. This time, I wanted to bring even more — more emotion, more intimacy, and more of that powerful connection we feel when we experience music together, live in the moment.”
If Inkanyezi was the initial spark, then Inkanyezi 2.0 is the full-blown blaze. It's a deeper dive into connection, intimacy, and that intangible spirit that only live music can truly capture. Imagine the voices of the audience, the palpable energy of the band, and Sjava's undeniable vulnerability all fusing together. The result? Something truly timeless, transforming each track into a living, breathing memory.
And the collaborations are fire! The EP features the legendary Shwi, who previously blessed us with his presence on Ithuna from Sjava's platinum-selling Isibuko. Plus, there's a collaboration with the acclaimed producer, instrumentalist, and artist Zadok, known for his genre-defying sound and his huge impact on the South African music scene.
True to its name, Inkanyezi (meaning “a star”), the project radiates light, strength, and hope – the very essence that Sjava shares every time he connects with his audience. Don't miss out!
The Inkanyezi 2.0 Live EP dropped on 05 September 2025 across all digital platforms. Go get it now!
