From Alex to the World: Makwa Drops “GOMORA.” The latest track from Makwa, Malagosh, and Kwiish highlights one of Johannesburg’s iconic townships.
From Alex to the World: Makwa Drops “GOMORA”Alexandra has been a significant contributor to South African music for years, and Makwa aims to give the township its own anthem. The new single, “GOMORA,” is now available and reflects the essence of Alex.
This new song involves multiple artists. Makwa, Malagosh and Kwiish take the lead, and Mshengu, Sjijo and Vocalkat also contribute. The collaboration of six artists illustrates a shared achievement rather than an individual celebration.
This release comes on the heels of Makwa’s previous tracks, Umguzumbane weSummer and iLanga. Rather than pursuing a different sound, he has channeled the energy from those successes back to his roots. He considers the song to be “more than music,” regarding it as “home,” “kasi,” and “Gomora.”
This perspective is crucial in amapiano, a music genre that originated from township culture and continues to be influenced by the streets, shebeens, and taxi ranks that have shaped its growth. Referring to Alexandra as “Gomora” establishes a sense of identity. This meaningful title and the surrounding campaign #KasiToTheWorld transform the single into both a lively track and a source of pride.
The message is clear: share Gomora with the wider world. Makwa encourages fans to stream, share, and promote the track beyond the township.
