Wena Baba is a soulful and uplifting collaboration that unites the musical brilliance of Zakes Bantwini, Skye Wanda, and Jnr SA. The track is rooted in Afro-house, with Bantwini’s polished production style offering a blend of deep rhythms, rich instrumentation, and an atmosphere that feels both spiritual and celebratory.
L’vovo Derrango and Zakes Bantwini recently appeared on Amaxhosa featuring Nana Atta and Okmalumkoolkat.
Lyrically, Wena Baba is a heartfelt dedication and prayer-like expression, with the title translating to “You Father” in isiZulu — often used in reference to God. Skye Wanda’s powerful and emotive vocals carry the message with grace, delivering both vulnerability and strength, while Jnr SA’s contribution adds texture and harmony that enrich the song’s emotional impact.
The production is layered yet restrained, allowing the vocals to take center stage while maintaining a groove that makes the track danceable. It strikes a perfect balance between being a spiritual reflection and a song that can move people on the dancefloor.
Wena Baba highlights Zakes Bantwini’s ongoing ability to merge deep-rooted African spirituality with global electronic sounds, while showcasing Skye Wanda’s vocal dynamism and Jnr SA’s versatility. It is both a prayer and a celebration — a track that uplifts, inspires, and resonates with listeners on a deeply personal level.
