Sister Betina Hitmaker ‘Mgarimbe’ Tries To Bury The Idea That He Is A One Hit Wonder
It has been over a decade since the singer Nkosinathi Mfeka famously known as Mgarimbe dropped a hit single that most people still love to this day, Sister Betina. The kwaito star released the single and no other hit song came after that. 11 years later he reveals that he still gets booked to perform that one song, which makes him proud that his song is still loved. Speaking to TshisaLive the singer said that he is in a process of producing classic music.
“I still get booked to perform Sister Bethina. The love that people have for that song amazes me daily. And‚ I haven’t given up on music. In fact‚ I have been working on new music and trying to create classics of Sister Bethina’s caliber‚” he said. Mgarimbe also spoke of his experience prior the release of the song.
“It’s funny when I remember how we recorded that song. DJ Jabzeen was working at club and I was still hustling for a record deal. I tagged along with him and at about 1 am‚ I was drunk in the DJ booth with him. He played the beat and gave me the mic. There was no inspired moment to think about lyrics or anything like that. I just told a story of what I was seeing and feeling‚” he explained.
Mgarimbe also revealed that he hopes to release his new album before the year ends and that his single with rapper Cassper Nyovest called Gologo No Beer had gotten a great reception.
