“Buya,” meaning “come back” in Zulu, is a beautifully soulful song brought to life by Shakes & Les alongside the powerful vocals of Mthunzi. With its roots in both deep house and Amapiano, the track finds a perfect balance between mellow, introspective beats and a deeply emotional narrative. Mthunzi’s rich, textured voice takes center stage, delivering poignant lyrics that express a desire for reunion and reconciliation.
Mashudu and Shakes & Les recently appeared on Ngempela featuring Kabza De Small and Murumba Pitch.
Shakes & Les skillfully layer deep house rhythms with Amapiano’s signature percussive elements, resulting in a production that feels both modern and timeless. The track’s smooth, laid-back beat is complemented by melodic piano riffs and atmospheric synths that create a soothing backdrop, perfect for Mthunzi’s soulful delivery. “Buya” is ideal for reflective moments, as it invites listeners to immerse themselves in its calming, yet emotionally rich soundscape, all while pondering themes of lost love and the hope for reconciliation.
