“From the past” or “In the beginning”, “Emandulo” is a spiritually rooted Afro-house anthem by FiNE and Nana Atta, intended to invoke ancestral memory and cultural pride. The Extended Mix allows the groove to develop gradually, transitioning smoothly from ambient chanting to rising vocal melodies, resulting in a rich and immersive listening experience.

L’vovo Derrango and Zakes Bantwini have recently appeared on Amaxhosa alongside Nana Atta and Okmalumkoolkat.

Nana Atta’s voice combines ceremonial poignancy with emotional intensity, conveying lyrics that pay tribute to tradition while fostering a sense of forward momentum. The percussion features a hypnotic tribal style, combined with deep basslines and understated electronic elements, making the song suitable for both club performances and cultural events.

Emandulo is a musical tribute to those who have gone before, prompting remembrance, introspection, and reconnection, all set to a dynamic rhythm.
