Orange Farm band Shef and the Kitchen is set to release their highly anticipated second studio album ‘The Next Recipe’ on 25 October.
Featuring 11 deeply personal tracks, this album is dedicated to mothers around the world and draws inspiration from the band’s experiences and global influences.
Each song pays homage to the love, strength and resilience of mothers while also reflecting the challenges facing young people in the Orange Farm township, offering a message of hope and unity.

Produced by Lucky “Master Lugz” Shebangu, this project brings together an array of talent with features from Reign Afrika and Nokcula, adding rich layers to the band’s distinctive sound.
The album will make its live debut in Cape Town on 2 November at Gallery South in Muizenberg, where fans can experience the new songs in an intimate setting.
