“Iminyaka” is a soulful Afro-house composition that brings together a multigenerational ensemble—Oskido, Ze2, Khathapillar, Xylokeys, and Shane907—to reflect on the passage of time (“iminyaka” meaning “years” in isiZulu). The track blends reflective storytelling with warm, groove-centric instrumentation, anchored by deep percussive lines and ambient melodic layers.
Oskido and Yallunder recently appeared on Ntwana yami [Acoustic Version] featuring X-wise.
Vocally, Ze2 and Khathapillar deliver emotive performances steeped in nostalgia and life experience, while Xylokeys and Shane907 provide additional texture through layered harmonies and instrumental embellishments. Oskido’s production ensures a polished, mid-tempo sonic profile, ideal for both intimate listening and sophisticated setlists.
In summary, Iminyaka is a matured, lyrically poignant Afro-house track that captures the emotional weight of time and legacy, while maintaining commercial appeal through its rhythmic and melodic accessibility.
