South African music lovers are in for a powerful start to the weekend as award-winning Afro-soul sensation Nathi joins forces with the equally gifted ZukoSA for a deeply moving new single, Igama Linamandla. Released as part of New Music Fridays, the track is already striking a chord with fans across the country — and for good reason.

Translating to “The Name Has Power,” Igama Linamandla is a spiritual and lyrical masterpiece rooted in the richness of identity and the sacred meaning behind names. Nathi, known for his emotive storytelling and velvety vocals, teams up with ZukoSA, whose earthy tone and spiritual depth add a resonant layer to this already profound collaboration. Together, they create a song that is as inspiring as it is musically elegant.

Built on a soulful blend of Afro-soul melodies and traditional African musical textures, the track speaks to the strength and legacy embedded in a name. Whether inherited from ancestors or chosen with intention, names carry history, culture, and destiny — and Igama Linamandla honors that truth. It’s a reminder that names are not just words; they are declarations of purpose.

With lines that uplift and vocals that stir the soul, the song invites listeners to reflect on their own journeys. It encourages a bold and purposeful walk in one’s identity, echoing a simple but profound message: may you walk boldly in the meaning of your name and the legacy it holds.

Igama Linamandla is more than a musical release — it’s a cultural affirmation. Perfectly timed to usher in the weekend, the single stands as a tribute to heritage, dignity, and the power of self-knowledge. As it climbs charts and finds a home on playlists across the country, one thing is clear: this is a song that resonates far beyond the moment.
