“Ukhalelani” (translated as “Why Are You Crying?”) is an evocative Afro-house single performed by the talented vocalist Mpumi, with production by DJ Active. The song serves as a source of comfort and emotional resilience, reaching out to individuals facing difficulties and motivating them to rise, heal, and recognize their intrinsic value.

Recently, Malumz on Decks and Eltonnick collaborated on the track “Isoka,” featuring Mpumi.

Mpumi’s voice exudes both compassion and power — she sings as someone who has experienced pain and emerged victorious. Her vocal delivery oscillates between gentleness and triumph, supported by DJ Active’s lively yet soulful instrumentation: dynamic drums, bright melodies, and warm textures that elevate the spirit while preserving the core message.

This piece transcends being merely a dance track — it embodies a form of spiritual therapy, perfect for times of uncertainty, sorrow, or emotional exhaustion. “Ukhalelani” softly reassures listeners that while tears are legitimate, the strength to persevere resides within them.
