Ngena Ngena by Tony Cedras

Meaning “Come In/Enter” in isiZulu/isiXhosa, this song truly captures the warmth and joy of being in South Africa and playing/listening to our music. The traditional jazz inspired intro harmony that drifts seamlessly into a thick Mbaqanga groove, this song will keep you focused on its clever harmony and soaring melody. This song while written by Tony, was recorded by the South African Jazz legend, Hugh Masekela on his album Beatin’ Around The Bush (1992).

This high-quality backing track features all instruments and vocals except for the bass guitar. Engineered for total clarity, it allows you to perfect your “lock” with the drummer without competing with a pre-recorded bassline. Ideal for live session work, auditions, or building your portfolio of bass covers.
