How do you celebrate a decade in music ? Mi Casa simply put it in a body of work titled , ' We Made It '. The group ' s fifth studio album came at a time when there was so much uncertainty in the world , but they made it . We had a front row seat to the group ' s album listening with Mi Casa ' s members explaining the creative process behind the project . ' We Made It ' maintains the Afro House sound synonymous with Mi Casa whilst exploring pop , and Hip-Hop elements . Favourites off the album include ' Obsessed ', ' Mamela ', ' Chucks ', and ' One Day ' featuring Stilo Magolide . The hypnotic ' Banza & Pasty ' trumpet is a dedication to Mo-T ' s father , the legendary Kgasoane Banza , of the South African Afropop band Mango Groove . The LP celebrates life , love and music reminding us that an attitude of gratitude can make a difference in the world .
