Bawo is a deeply spiritual and emotive offering by Msongi, rooted in Afro-soul and gospel-inspired traditions. The title, meaning Father in Xhosa and other Nguni languages, reveals the song’s prayerful tone. It’s a heartfelt cry for guidance, strength, and comfort from a higher power, carried by Msongi’s stirring vocals and grounded by soulful instrumentation.
Caltonic SA, Sir Trill, B33kay SA and Sofi MLow recently appeared on Pounds featuring Msongi, Tumisho and De Soul.
The production fuses elements of Afro-soul, house, and traditional gospel cadences, creating a track that feels timeless in its sincerity. The layering of harmonies and the steady rhythm gives the track a meditative flow, allowing listeners to feel both grounded and spiritually uplifted.
Bawo stands as both a personal plea and a communal song of faith, resonating with anyone seeking hope, healing, or connection to something greater than themselves. It highlights Msongi’s ability to blend contemporary sound with deeply rooted spiritual expression.
