Maxy, the epitome of cultural music

When her career started 14 years ago, Maxy just wanted to do music and did not want to confine herself to any particular genre. She was a free soul who just wanted to do something she enjoyed. Ironically the now very popular musician did not want to be known as a traditional musician. But she insists it was not by default that the track Kalahari(Uwe) became such a big hit and paved her way to stardom.

“I was into Afro-pop and my debut album(Maxy Maximum) was a mixture of genres. It had Afro-pop, Ragga and Borankana. Somehow people instantly fell in love with Uwe which happened to be a traditional Sesarwa song, but there were other popular songs like Gumba Mchochocho, so it was a  beautiful accident for me that people loved the way I did traditional music,” she said.
