VIDEO: Bxby Steps, Da Muziqal Chef, Boohle & Zuma – Thixo
The music video for “Thixo” by Bxby Steps, Da Muziqal Chef, Boohle, and Zuma is a deeply spiritual yet modern expression of gratitude, faith, and triumph. The title “Thixo” — meaning “God” in isiXhosa and isiZulu — sets the emotional and thematic tone for the entire piece. It’s a stunning fusion of amapiano spirituality, gospel undertones, and soulful storytelling, capturing how divine grace and human resilience intersect in everyday life.
Da Muziqal Chef and Sino Msolo recently appeared on Muntu Wam Lo featuring Orchid Musiq and Mda.
From the very beginning, the video establishes a reverent and uplifting mood. The opening scenes often show the artists in reflective or symbolic spaces — a sunrise over open land, a church-like interior, or golden natural light shining through windows — each shot invoking spiritual presence. The cinematography is both cinematic and intimate, using light and shadow to mirror the song’s emotional arc: from prayer to praise, from struggle to victory.
Bxby Steps introduces the track with heartfelt intensity. His performance is youthful but purposeful — his expressions and delivery reveal someone giving thanks after overcoming difficulty. His scenes often depict him walking through symbolic spaces like a quiet street or an open field, representing a journey guided by faith. His style and tone embody humility mixed with confidence, setting a reflective foundation for what follows.
Da Muziqal Chef’s production serves as the heartbeat of the video. The deep, steady log drums, airy synths, and gospel-infused chord progressions create a spiritual groove that feels both danceable and meditative. The way the beat breathes and swells throughout the song allows the visuals to flow in rhythm with divine emotion — each shot timed perfectly to his sonic craftsmanship.
Boohle’s vocals lift the track into emotional transcendence. Her voice, angelic and full of warmth, becomes the spiritual centerpiece of both the song and the video. Her scenes — often framed with radiant lighting or surrounded by dancers dressed in white — symbolize purity, faith, and divine grace. Her expressions carry both gratitude and awe, as if her voice itself is a prayer rising toward the heavens. Boohle’s presence embodies the essence of Thixo — reverence, beauty, and unwavering belief.
Zuma brings balance to the emotional flow. His verse injects rhythm, gratitude, and cultural grounding into the narrative. His performance scenes show strength and sincerity, reflecting how faith is not only spiritual but also lived through resilience and hard work. Zuma’s delivery bridges street wisdom with spiritual consciousness — acknowledging that divine favor reaches everyone, from humble beginnings to great success.
