Woza Bakzin and GoldMax keep their production streak alive with another hard-hitting instrumental called “Umahlafuna.”
The record sits as the 10th track on their 14-track project Gqom In Black, which arrived through Afrotainment. It is a solo effort with no featured artist, so the focus stays locked on the duo’s beat-making. Heavy drums, deep bass, and forceful rhythms carry the entire runtime. Without any guest vocals, the production gets room to breathe and hit harder.
This is pure Gqom energy built for the dancefloor. The producers keep things simple but forceful, and that approach works well for South African dance music. The beat remains the star from the first kick drum to the final drop. Listeners who follow the duo’s recent output will notice how this one fits neatly into their ongoing run of releases. The track also gives DJs plenty to work with during a live set, thanks to its steady, driving pulse.
