Director Maboko releases a second volume of his mixtape

Romeo Maboko of Tshiungani village is an accomplished multimedia designer, music-video director, and record executive, known for his high-quality motion pictures and artistically unique music videos.

In the industry, he is better known as Director Maboko, which is also the name of his company. The versatile artist has directed music videos for prominent artists such as Bushoke, Batondy, Tman Gavini, and others.

Maboko recently released his Volume 2 mixtape, called Haya Ha Muzika (home of music), featuring, among others, Reggae artists Burning Fire and Signal Rollen.

As a young boy, Maboko had a passion for music and loved to draw. After he matriculated from Mphaphuli High School in Makwarela, Sibasa, in 2009, he pursued his studies in multimedia design at the University of Johannesburg, where he earned a national diploma in 2015.

He worked as an intern editor at the Johannesburg-based film, television, and commercial production company Mannequin Picture or Films before he established his own multimedia and publishing company, called Director Maboko (Pty) Ltd in 2017. He has produced more than 100 singles, five albums, EPs and mixtapes, ranging from reggae and kwaito to traditional music genres.

Maboko directed the debut music video of Tanzanian Afro Pop songwriter-singer and multiple-award-winning musician Bushoke for the song, Mr DJ, in 2014. “He was the first musician to give me the opportunity to shoot his music video, and he enjoyed it. It was then launched and broadcast on Tanzanian radio stations and television.”

He said he had many innovative ideas and an absolute, unwavering passion for art, design, film production and music. “I’ve been engaged in a lot of media initiatives and events, including the SANParks media tours in the Kruger National Parks and Mozambique,” he said.

He promised that fans could expect more music videos, short films and digital content from him in future.
