Ben Da Prince, a respected figure in the South African music scene, joins forces with Stoziimusiq on their latest release, “Mtwanami.” Featuring the delicate and evocative vocals of Faith Strings, the track leans into tenderness and melody, offering an intimate yet rhythmically engaging sound.
Ben Da Prince has long been recognized for his clean production and rhythmic sophistication, and on “Mtwanami” he teams up with Stoziimusiq to craft an impressively balanced soundscape. The track opens with a gentle, inviting tempo, gradually layering soft percussion and a bassline that grooves without overwhelming. Every production choice feels intentional, with each element carefully placed to let the melodies shine. Faith Strings delivers a heartfelt performance that gives “Mtwanami” its emotional anchor. The live string arrangements provide a cinematic quality rarely found in contemporary dance music. The violin/cello motifs weave in and out of the digital production, creating a beautiful tension between the electronic and the organic. This element gives the track an emotional weight, turning a standard dance rhythm into a poignant narrative about connection and heritage (as the title “Mtwanami” implies a deep, familial bond).
“Mtwanami” is a graceful and emotionally rich collaboration and a sophisticated offering that caters to the “Private School” Amapiano movement that highlights the power of subtlety in Amapiano. It’s a song that resonates quietly but meaningfully, making it a strong addition to soulful playlists. The song is now available to stream on all major platforms, including Spotify, Apple Music, and YouTube Music—add it to your playlist and enjoy.
