“Hlala Nam” is a deeply spiritual collaboration where Gaba Cannal merges his soulful amapiano mastery with the powerful, traditional-rooted vocals of Zawadi Yamungu. The title, which translates to “Stay with Me”, sets the tone for a song that blends ancestral energy with contemporary soundscapes.
Gaba Cannal and Boohle recently appeared on Mbizeleni featuring Russell Zuma.
The production carries Gaba Cannal’s signature warm chords, deep basslines, and carefully layered log drums, creating a meditative yet danceable backdrop. Zawadi Yamungu’s voice, commanding and spiritual, gives the track a sense of cultural richness, while The Bless adds depth through harmonies and heartfelt delivery.
At its heart, “Hlala Nam” is a prayer-like call for presence, strength, and guidance, balancing modern amapiano rhythms with elements that honor African tradition. It’s the kind of track that resonates emotionally while still igniting movement on the dance floor.
