South African artist Umfoka Msezane has dropped “Bafana,” a track lifted from his 12-song project Awulith’ qheke, and it arrives with Londeka Shangase and Limit on board, with both voices giving it extra texture. It sits third on the album, yet it carries plenty of weight.
Listeners who have been waiting on Umfoka Msezane got a full body of work instead of a single. “Bafana” is one piece of that larger picture, but it stands out because of how it was built. The construction is precise, while the guest contributions keep things moving.
The placement says a lot too. Third spot means the record has to set the mood for everything after it, and this one does that job. It also merges teamwork with pithy storytelling, so the song never drags.
