Data Insight
All 15 tracks carry the group and 14 carry nobody else, the highest share in the catalogue. The line-up had grown to include Ajile, Foley, Kamaal Malak, Kwesi Asuo and Nadirah Shakoor, and the record is denser and less commercial than the debut. It is also the last thing they released for six years.
Zingalamaduni came out on Chrysalis in June 1994, two years after the debut. It sold poorly and the group broke up in 1996.
