I am a huge fan of a well-executed intergenerational musical moment. Our next pick finds one of our contemporary crooners of South African Afropop teaming up with a cemented icon from the turn of the millennium and the result is truly irresistible. Jumaima is an infatuated piece of Afropop that finds Mlindo The Vocalist and Ishmael professing their feelings to the women they’re courting. Mlindo is gobsmacked by his love, so speechless that his entire first verse is literally a variation of the following words “Your beauty, your smile. My love, I have no words.” And I get him, I really do. He finds more words by the second verse as he now wants to show her off to the world, hand in tow before Ishmael slides in with his own sweet nothings. The iconic crooner doesn’t miss a step as he injects the track with his signature swagger before Mlindo comes back in for a vocal back and forth leading into the track’s climax. Jumaima is addictive, feel-good swooning from some of South Africa’s premium crooners. It’s got a classic groove that makes you want to just sway with somebody. It’s soul-food Afro-pop that I find myself gluttonous with the amount of helpings I want to have whenever it comes on.
