Bongeziwe Mabandla - Yalwa (Live Performance)

Stream Yalwa here: https://sndo.ffm.to/yee2no Yalwa came to life after Bongeziwe Mabandla was commissioned to write a track for Shaka iLembe. Spending time engaging closely with the series, he found himself deeply affected by the bond between Shaka and his mother, and the powerful influence she had on his path. First introduced during his solo tour, this acoustic rendition of Yalwa captures the song in its most intimate and stripped-back form. At its heart, the song is grounded in hope, speaking to the next generation and affirming the meaning and purpose within their lives.
