It’s a double celebration for renowned South African DJ, producer and label owner, Sun-El Musician, real name Sanele Sithole.
Not only is the award-winning DJ celebrating his 35th birthday today (March 28), but has also dropped his latest single, “Hamba Nami”.
According to a statement sent to media, the song is a “profound expression of faith, strength, and unwavering belief”.
“It carries a message that with divine guidance, every challenge can be conquered, and every journey can lead to triumph.”
International musical duo Section Five, and Fearless Musiq have joined forces with Sun-El Musician to create this captivating song.
With their Afro-house, soul, and electronic elements, Sun-El Musician and Fearless Musiq offer listeners an immersive soundscape, while Section Five's soulful vocals and emotive delivery adds depth to the track.
“The title, translating to ‘Walk With Me’, embodies a powerful message of resilience and faith and serves as a prayer for courage, strength, and fearlessness, resonating with the belief in a higher power's constant guidance and protection,” it read.
The lyrics, “Ang'sabi Lutho Mvelingqangi uSibhekile” (I fear nothing for God is watching over us), reinforce this sentiment.
