“Lalela” — meaning “listen” in isiZulu — is a richly layered, musically elegant Afro-house track that brings together the smooth sonic sensibilities of The Bless, the vibrant trumpet stylings of Mo-T (of Mi Casa fame), and the refined production of Sir LSG, with heartfelt vocals from Mzizi.
The Bless, De Mthuda and Mzizi recently appeared on Inganekwane featuring Sia Mzizi.
This collaboration is a masterclass in blending live instrumentation, spiritual energy, and deep house groove. Mo-T’s trumpet solos soar over warm basslines and percussive rhythms, while Sir LSG delivers a polished and atmospheric production that gives the track emotional weight and dancefloor appeal. Mzizi’s vocals urge the listener to “lalela” — to pause, reflect, and truly listen — touching on themes of inner peace, awareness, and resilience.
Lalela is a song that doesn’t just move your feet — it speaks to your soul. It’s a beautifully composed musical reminder to be still, be present, and pay attention to what truly matters.
