“Malunde” is a soulful and atmospheric Amapiano cut from vocalist Nandi Ndathane and veteran producer DJ Stokie, featuring contributions from DJ Nnandos and Neo Soul. The track is thematically rooted in socio-emotional reflection, addressing the experiences of malunde (a colloquial reference to street youth or those marginalized in society).
Loxion Deep, Carnival King and Msheke Lezinto recently appeared on Awusang’boni featuring Nandi Ndathane.
With warm piano riffs, subtle log drum patterns, and ambient textures, the production is emotionally charged but restrained—allowing Nandi’s poignant vocals to take center stage. DJ Stokie brings his characteristic finesse in crafting layered, mood-forward soundscapes, while Neo Soul’s background harmonies and DJ Nnandos’ arrangement finesse round out the sonic blend.
A deeply introspective Amapiano ballad, “Malunde” speaks to themes of survival, empathy, and hope. It’s a powerful showcase of vocal storytelling set against DJ Stokie’s emotionally resonant production palette.
