Thato Ya Modimo, a notable 29-track Amapiano album by Kelvin Momo, was made available to the public on May 30, 2025. This project is a bold and immersive statement that spans nearly four hours, showcasing Momo’s mastery of the “private school” Amapiano subgenre, a refined, soulful, and jazz-infused interpretation of Amapiano sound.

Momo and Da Muziqal Chef recently made a guest appearance on Emhlabeni alongside Thatohatsi and Tracy.

Throughout this project, the music is characterized by complex layering of instruments, intricate piano compositions, calming background textures, and subtle yet impactful log drum beats. Momo meticulously crafts an ambiance that focuses on ambiance, refinement, and narrative over current market fads. Momo’s sonic vision is achieved by cohesively integrating distinctive vocal or instrumental contributions from each artist.

This album not only highlights Kelvin Momo’s development as a producer and composer, but also demonstrates Amapiano’s potential for complexity and storytelling. Momo solidifies his standing as a leading innovative and spiritually powerful figure within the genre with Thato Ya Modimo.
