Led by Makhanj’s distinctive style, Kukuwe adopts a more in-depth, immersive approach to Amapiano, bolstered by Stixx and Deeper Phil’s exceptional production skills. In contrast to the high-energy, chant-driven songs that are currently popular, this track has a soulful and atmospheric sound.

Nobantu Vilakazi recently appeared on the show My Help (Umncedi) alongside Makhanj, Nia Pearl, and T-Man SA.

A hypnotic groove is created by warm keys, steady percussion, and deep log drum undertones, all smoothly and layered in production. Makhanj’s vocals, accompanied by the understated harmonies that surround them, contribute a thoughtful, emotional depth, whereas Stixx and Deeper Phil regulate the instrumentation to maintain a rich sound without overpowering the vocals.

Kukuwe is more focused on long-lasting impact than immediate popularity, slowly gaining traction through DJ sets, carefully selected playlists, and personal listening sessions. Listened to this track, those who appreciate Amapiano’s soulful and spiritual qualities will find it deeply resonates with them. The genre combines explosive and entertaining qualities with a profound, mood-driven depth that contributes to its enduring appeal.
