MUSICIAN and actor Dalisu “Kaplan” Dlamini has bounced back with a new name and tune after a five-year hiatus to find himself.
The musician, from Inanda in Durban, has released a single Ingoma as Kaplan, which is a mix of Afro-soul, kwaito and new-age maskandi. He last released an Afro-soul song in 2015 while going by his full name.
The 40 year-old has been in the music industry for more than a decade after rising to fame during a talent search driven by legendary kwaito star, Eugene Mthethwa of Trompies.
Kaplan was featured on Eugene’s album Tools Down, released in 2006.
