“Ulibambe” is a gorgeously composed soulful Amapiano piece from the emotive duo Sipho Magudulela and Soa Mattrix, featuring a stunning vocal performance from Nele SA. The title, “Ulibambe” (which roughly translates to “Hold it” or “Hold on” in isiZulu), reflects the song’s message of clinging to love, hope, or a promise during difficult times.
Sipho Magudulela, Soa Mattrix and Kabza De Small recently appeared on Iqhathanzipho featuring Aidah.
The track opens with soothing keys and smooth percussive layers, setting a peaceful, almost meditative tone. Sipho Magudulela’s signature saxophone melodies breathe soul into the arrangement, while Soa Mattrix’s production keeps it deep, groovy, and heartfelt. Nele SA’s voice delivers both gentleness and strength, making every lyric feel deeply personal and resonant.
This is music made for emotional connection and calm reflection — perfect for unwinding, healing, or simply getting lost in a moment. “Ulibambe” is a soundtrack to holding on, holding close, and holding steady.
