This deeply emotive and cinematic Afro-house track, “Banyathele”, is the result of collaboration between three of the scene’s most innovative producers – BlaQRhythm, Atmos Blaq, and Citizen Deep – and features ethereal vocals from Maline Aura. The track’s title, “Banyathele”, roughly translates to “They silenced her” or “She’s been subdued”, and the song’s mood accurately conveys that level of intensity.

BlaQRhythm and Nana Atta have recently appeared on Memeza.

The production is based on rolling percussion, hypnotic synth textures, and ambient atmospheres, establishing a moody atmosphere, with Maline Aura’s vocals subtly conveying a mix of elegance and quiet despair. Her performance exudes a subtle defiance, shrouded in an aura of mystery and emotional complexity.

Afro-house is showcased perfectly in Banyathele, a sound that excels in late-night sets, deep house mixes, and filmic moments due to its artful, bold, and emotionally weighty qualities.
