Video: Zee Nxumalo, Skillz & Sykes – Mamma

Zee Nxumalo’s “Mamma” is a visually rich and emotionally impactful music video that combines nostalgia, romance, and cultural style to create a striking Amapiano love song. Against a lively backdrop inspired by Sophiatown, the video develops like a short film, featuring scenes of a wedding celebration, classic street fashion, and a theatrical atmosphere that enhance the narrative in vivid detail.

DJ Obza has recently featured on the track Hamba alongside Zee Nxumalo.

A heartfelt exchange of devotion unfolds as Sykes serenades Zee with admiration, with Zee responding with radiant joy, depicting love as both timeless and transformative. Skillz’s production provides a foundation of deep lyrical warmth and elegant rhythms that underpin the emotional tone throughout the piece.

The video visually achieves a balance between paying homage to culture and pushing artistic boundaries. Channeling the iconic persona of Brenda Fassie, Zee exudes sultry glamour reminiscent of Jessica Rabbit, crafting a character that is both commanding and elegant. Each frame is meticulously designed to capture a sense of nostalgia, passion, and classic storytelling through elements such as retro-chic wardrobes, cinematic lighting, and deliberate symbolism.
