The album, titled Wen’Ungowam, is their first offering and is all about love.

Bhut’ Vusi. He is such an amazing mentor, he’s taught us a lot and guided us. Because this is also our first ever album. We all have stories to tell and the stories are in each of the songs and he helped us put them into music
