Amazing Man is Chaka Chaka’s 22nd album, and she has

Her songwriting
skills are evident throughout this album even though the Princess of Africa was assisted by Thulani Shezi, Alf, XIII BIS
Music, Patrick Abrailo or Mfumu Mhinga in writing these songs. And as an added

Gospel Choir and Zuluboy, further proving why she is a legend in the music
industry locally and worldwide.
Chaka Chaka’s
endearment to her fans take presidence with this album. Amazing Man was a labour of love – first and foremost for her fans.
“Thank you to all my fans that have supported me for the past 27 years. It has
been a great long fascinating and lovable journey. I’m sure you’ll agree with
me that music is a universal language. I’ve seen faces and places; I’ve managed
to be a great advocate and I’ve tried to change people’s lives all through my
music. This indeed is a blessing,” she says.
With her continued
commitment to people and her divine love for music, Chaka Chaka
continues to break barriers and champion causes that few others would dare to.
This is evident on Amazing Man – a
brilliant collection of passionate, beautiful songs that refines her
reputation as a legendary musician and an amazing woman is currently in stores,
