MALI is a smooth, soulful Afro-house/Amapiano crossover that leans into warmth, gratitude, and quiet celebration. Marcus MC teams up with Artwork Sounds and Essa Kay to deliver a refined instrumental built on deep basslines, gentle percussion, and rich, emotive chord progressions.
Balcony Mix Africa and Artwork Sounds recently appeared on Istina featuring Section Five, Solo Thato and Major League DJz.
Sundile’s expressive vocal performance brings sincerity and spiritual depth, while Dark Horse adds a grounded, melodic presence that complements the song’s reflective tone. Rather than pushing for club intensity, the track focuses on mood and meaning, letting emotion guide the groove.
The arrangement is clean and patient, making MALI ideal for soulful DJ sets, sunset sessions, and personal listening moments where intention matters more than volume. It’s music that feels rooted, respectful, and emotionally fulfilling.
Overall, MALI stands as a mature, heartfelt release — blending soulful house sensibilities with modern African rhythm, and showcasing the strength of collaboration between seasoned artists who value feeling over flash.
