“Bayabaleka” is a multi-layered Afro-soul meets Amapiano fusion that unites some of the brightest vocalists and producers in the scene. With Baby Momo at the production helm and vocal powerhouses Mthunzi, MaWhoo, GL_Ceejay, Ney The Bae, and Baby S.O.N contributing, this track is a collaborative triumph.
Baby Momo and Artwork Sounds recently appeared on Hamba featuring Starr Healer, Mthandazo Gatya and D’Braz.
The title, “Bayabaleka” — which means “they are running” in Zulu — evokes imagery of escape, urgency, or movement, both physical and emotional. The instrumental builds steadily with warm pads, rhythmic log drums, and subtle yet expressive piano melodies, while the vocals narrate a complex story of love, regret, and the struggle to hold on when everything is falling apart.
Each vocalist brings a distinct emotion: Mthunzi’s smooth tenor, MaWhoo’s powerful yet gentle delivery, GL_Ceejay’s depth, and Ney The Bae’s ethereal tones, all blend harmoniously. The song doesn’t just move—it flows like a river of emotion, inviting listeners to reflect, feel, and connect.
