Leroyale, Papany and Solo Thato join forces on a new collaborative single called “Ahiyeni,” a record built around faith and worship. The South African Afro House and Afro Tech artist released it through EMPIRE, and it runs six minutes and six seconds.
The song pairs electronic dance production with soulful Xitsonga vocals. Leroyale describes it as an invitation for people to gather, praise the Lord, kneel and surrender. That spiritual foundation sits alongside the expressive energy of Afro House and Afro Tech.
The collaboration draws on the strengths of all three artists. Papany handles the Xitsonga vocal delivery, while Solo Thato brings production experience from work with Artwork Sounds and Enosoul. Leroyale steers the Afro Tech direction.
The title translates from Xitsonga as “Let’s Go,” carrying the idea of coming together for a shared purpose. It is a meeting point between spiritual expression and electronic dance music. Something about that combination makes it a distinctive addition to the latest South African house releases.
