Wadlala Ngami brings together the talents of Murumba Pitch, Brandon Dhludhlu, and Buhle Sax to deliver a deeply emotive and soulful Amapiano track that blends storytelling with rich instrumentation. The title, which translates to “You played me” in English, immediately sets the tone for a song rooted in themes of heartbreak, betrayal, and the lingering pain of love gone wrong.
Murumba Pitch recently appeared on Sarafina.
Murumba Pitch lay the foundation with their signature production style, marked by textured log drums, layered percussions, and atmospheric melodies that create an emotional yet danceable backdrop. Brandon Dhludhlu takes the lead with heartfelt, powerful vocals, his delivery conveying vulnerability and disappointment while still maintaining a strong presence that draws the listener in. His performance adds raw emotion and storytelling depth, perfectly complementing the instrumental.
Adding another dimension, Buhle Sax enriches the track with stirring saxophone melodies that weave seamlessly into the arrangement. The saxophone lines intensify the mood, amplifying the sense of longing and sorrow while also giving the track a timeless, almost jazz-inspired elegance. This instrumental contribution elevates the record, making it not just a vocal-led song but a full-bodied sonic experience.
At its core, Wadlala Ngami is more than just a heartbreak anthem—it’s a track that balances pain with beauty, weaving together soulful lyricism, masterful production, and live instrumentation in a way that feels both modern and timeless. It resonates with listeners who have experienced betrayal in love, giving them not just words of expression but also a groove that allows them to release emotions through dance.
