“Sakhiwe” — meaning “We are built / We are made” in isiZulu — is a powerful musical affirmation that blends soulful storytelling with the vibrant pulse of modern Amapiano. CowBoii, ShaunMusiq, and Thatohatsi come together to deliver a composition that’s both empowering and poetic, with Kabelo Sings adding a deeply emotive vocal layer that elevates the track into a full-on spiritual experience.
CowBoii, BitterSoul and Makhanj recently appeared on uThando Lunjena.
From the opening chords, “Sakhiwe” sets a mood of warmth and sincerity. The instrumental is rich with shimmering pads, soft chord progressions, and carefully layered percussion that gives the song a heartbeat of its own. It’s a perfect balance of groove and grace — danceable, yet deeply thoughtful. ShaunMusiq’s sonic fingerprint is felt in the subtle log drums and rhythmic control, while Thatohatsi helps paint a wide emotional canvas for Kabelo’s vocals to shine.
Kabelo Sings delivers a performance rooted in soul and identity. His voice doesn’t just sing melodies — it speaks purpose. With a tone that is both comforting and commanding, he sings of being built up, of overcoming, of finding strength in foundation. There’s an unshakable pride in the lyrics, a declaration that no matter the struggle or the noise of the world, we are Sakhiwe — created with intention, rising with resilience.
