Mancinza – Ikhaya lami ft Onezwa Mchunu & Somnyama

South African music star and soulful vocalist Mancinza teams up with Onezwa Mchunu and Somnyama for a truly emotional new album called “Ikhaya lami”.

This reassuring release arrives at a time when dance aficionados are wanting soulful, deep township sounds. While many producers are aiming for the high-tempo festival bangers, this group is taking a far more soulful route. This slow-burning joint is a celebration of roots, of family, of the warmth of home, a reminder that genuine human longing still holds huge weight on the dancefloor. Thus, the song appeals to those who like the old values in a new electronic backdrop.

The sound engineer crafts a really rich soundtrack with warm, rolling wood percussion and silky jazz keys. There are also modest percussion shakers and airy synth pads floating quietly in the background to keep a nice bounce going. But the beat maintains a vast arrangement, which gives the vocal performances total reign.

Mancinza’s trademark silky tone and steady but impassioned delivery are evident in the early verses. From the first note, he sails with ease throughout the delicate instrumentation, creating a peaceful, very comfortable vibe. He controls his cadence in a way that makes the music feel true and grounded from start to finish.
