Bona Baphi, released on 12 September 2025 as part of the IKIGAI THE LAST SAMURAI album, is a dynamic Amapiano anthem that showcases a powerful synergy between Tman Xpress, ATK MusiQ, Ntsakzin, and featured vocalists Lucio and Mpho Spizzy. The title, loosely translating to “Where are you looking?”, suggests themes of presence, direction, and communal energy — themes that pulse throughout the track.
Tman Xpress, Shaunmusiq, Ftears, Thatohatsi, Mellow & Sleazy recently appeared on Umntwana Kaboban Lo.
Musically, the instrumental layers rolling log drums with crisp percussion and atmospheric melodic motifs. The beat evolves steadily, giving the track both groove and spaciousness. The arrangement allows for fluid transitions between verses and call-and-response vocal segments—an Amapiano hallmark that emphasizes collective expression.
Vocally, Lucio and Mpho Spizzy bring complementary energies to the mix. Lucio’s delivery is rhythmic and confident, while Mpho Spizzy adds melodic warmth and lyricism that lift the emotional tone. Their contributions create a conversational and communal feel, elevating the song from a beat-driven track to a crowd anthem.
