Versatile German based Nigerian singer, Na’yo comes through with a new song titled “Panda” specially dedicated to South Africa’s Brenda Fassie who was an anti-apartheid Afropop singer, songwriter, dancer and activist.
Affectionately called MaBrrr by her fans, she was the “Queen of African Pop”, the “Madonna of The Townships” or simply as The Black Madonna. Her bold stage antics earned a reputation for “outrageousness”.
Brenda Fassie who was also the niece of the late President Nelson Mandela died in Sunninghill, Sandton, South Africa in 2004.
