The song “Malunde” is a soulful and atmospheric Amapiano track by vocalist Nandi Ndathane and producer DJ Stokie, which also includes contributions from DJ Nnandos and Neo Soul. The track explores themes of socio-emotional reflection, focusing on the experiences of malunde, who refer to street youth or those marginalized in society.

South African artists Loxion Deep, Carnival King, and Msheke Lezinto recently made an appearance on Awusang’boni alongside Nandi Ndathane.

The production is emotionally charged yet controlled, thanks to warm piano riffs, delicate log drum patterns, and ambient textures, allowing Nandi’s moving vocals to take centre stage. DJ Stokie’s skillful touch is evident in the layered, mood-driven soundscapes, complemented by Neo Soul’s harmonies and DJ Nnandos’ arrangement expertise.

The deeply introspective Amapiano ballad “Malunde” explores themes of survival, empathy, and hope. This is a powerful display of vocal storytelling, set against DJ Stokie’s emotionally resonant production palette.
