Que Montana, who signed with South African-based music powerhouse CoolSpot Productions last year,collaborated with Lollita to form the duo. The two, who were mentored and nurtured in totally different genres, have fused deep African rhythms with western styles creating a whole new music style.
Que played most of the instruments – acoustic guitar, bass and keyboards. He had extra help from Daddy Ish on two of the tracks, Zimbabwe’s renowned guitar player Daniel Meck while mixing was done by Freshly Grounds’ sound engineer Gavan Eckhart.
The 10-track album is mostly in IsiZulu and English, and has one Shona track. It has carefully structured and mature lyrics, demonstrating the song writing prowess of the two stars.
“Though this project is being launched here (SA), we want to be a household name in every home all over the world and that’s where we are taking our music,” said Que. The duo is set to tour South Africa, Zimbabwe, Zambia, Botswana and Mozambique before embarking on a European tour early next year.
