In “Marikana”, powerhouse Amapiano duo Mellow & Sleazy join forces once again with the ever-soulful Tman Xpress and rising talent Lowbass Djy for a deep, emotionally charged track. This song carries both musical intensity and symbolic weight, referencing Marikana—a name that resonates deeply in South African history due to its social and political significance.
Mellow & Sleazy and Tman Xpress recently appeared on Umona.
The track blends haunting log drum grooves with a slow, pulsing rhythm that creates a dramatic, moody atmosphere. Tman Xpress’s vocals are raw and heartfelt, bringing a sense of urgency and reflection. There’s a somber undertone that sets this apart from a typical party anthem—it’s Amapiano with a message, delivered through hypnotic repetition and minimalist yet impactful production.
Lowbass Djy’s contribution adds depth with layered textures and basslines that hit hard without overwhelming the vocals. “Marikana” is a contemplative, spiritually aware Amapiano track that demands more than dancing—it invites listening, feeling, and remembering. It’s a standout cut for those who appreciate music with substance and soul.
