VIDEO: Oscar Mbo & Jazzworx – Vuka ft. Thukuthela
“Vuka”, which translates to “wake up”, is a deeply soulful and motivational piece by Oscar Mbo and Jazzworx, featuring the emotive vocals of Thukuthela. The song is rooted in Afro-house with smooth, jazzy undertones and rich instrumental layers that build a spiritual and emotional atmosphere.
The video opens with serene visuals of early dawn—empty city streets, sunrise over townships, and people slowly starting their daily grind. Throughout the video, we see scenes of various individuals waking up and preparing for their day—young professionals, dancers, creatives, and elders—all reflecting the everyday South African experience.
As the song progresses, the visual storytelling evolves. We see dancers in slow motion, people praying, a boy training in the boxing gym—all tied together by the song’s call to “vuka”. Oscar Mbo and Thukuthela appear in calm, natural settings, radiating a spiritual presence that aligns with the song’s message.
