Sipho Dlamini, Managing Director of Universal Music Africa South Africa & Sub-Saharan Africa states, “Mi Casa has always captured the hearts of Africa. They have been on our radar for a very long time and we are extremely proud to have them as part of Universal Music/Afroforce1 family”.

With the Covid-19 Coronavirus affecting negatively musicians’ revenue streams and performances around the world, Mi Casa has too felt the effect. Releasing an album during such an uncertain time was “daunting, to say the least”, but the world needs art and the guys have laid themselves bare with We Made It, spreading joy when we need it most.
