Afro Soul and Maskandi blend on “Ungangishiyi,” a tender new Fixer Myeni record that brings Gqibu into the fold with quiet urgency. The Zulu title translates to “Don’t leave me,” setting a raw emotional tone from the very first note. That vulnerability carries the entire song.

This track lands on Fixer Myeni’s studio album Ngikhule ngokusokola Mina, which arrived in August. The record steps away from strict Maskandi structure, so the softer Afro Soul textures give the vocals room to breathe. Gqibu’s presence deepens that intimacy, making the plea feel genuine rather than performed. Together, they chase a feeling of attachment and the quiet fear of losing someone irreplaceable.

Fixer Myeni has been circling this space for a while, working with artists like Eviconstage on earlier projects. However, “Ungangishiyi” shows a more personal side to his writing. The delivery stays restrained, but the weight sits in every line. It is not a loud song, yet it lands harder than most.

For fans of soulful South African storytelling, this one hits close to home. Have you played Fixer Myeni – “Ungangishiyi” yet? Drop your thoughts in the comments.
