Akanamali is more of a love song that narrates the pressure experienced in our society, where value/love is constantly substituted for material things. The song is structured by three roles, the friends trying to be a constant reminder that her friends might not approve of the entire relationship, the leading role, who against all the spoken words and influences still chooses love and settles for it despite the fact that "Akanamali" (he has no money), but he loves her for her and accepts all that she is. Then the guy who despites the fact that he doesn't have the money, announces that in December he's making it all official, he will be traditionally asking for her hand in marriage.
Remember when I first heard this song when it came out on yFM, I literally stopped everything. Had a "Like what did I just experience" moment. BEAUTIFUL!!!!
This song is a master piece. Epic! It reminds me of the good old days when music was pure and real and you could feel the connection. At times even getting emotional by just listening to that particular song. This song is magic. The beat is so amazing. So warm and welcoming. As for the lyrics, wow!
This song is deeply emotional. all i have to do is close my eyes and i am transported elsewhere. its rare that a song can simultaneously induce feelings of euphoria and sadness, wonder and anxiety, anger and contentment, desire and appreciation....but when i listen to this, its like every emotion and suppressed thought and feeling comes pouring out. the first time i listened to it, i cried. to me, this is the beauty of music. to be moved by something so evocative to the point of tears- that's something special. i like to imagine myself in a group of loving and happy people who appreciate this Kind of music . yeeeyi i need a girlfriend ibilane.
Aish big up Sun-EL Musician, that's what I call good music. I can't go a day without repeating the song 100x full-blast ensuring that my neighbour knows what is good music
Big Fan from Nairobi, Kenya. The vibe in this song is too strong. Had to Google translate the lyrics, and I can tell you for a FACT that this song speaks for so many young gents out here... BIG UP My G, had it on replay as soon as I heard it. 👌
I left my radio playing last night, heard this song in my sleep, woke up it was playing on kaya fm, it made me emotional and I fell in love right away.
first time i heard this song was on Friday in Mochudi - Botswana. The chick who introduced me to this jam keeps coming back to my thoughts everytime I hear this song. Its massive
MaGuy, what's up with this song and Mochudi? I heard it last week saturday at B6 Bar, and couldn't believe that i had to cross a border to hear such wonderful music.
How come I'm I hearing this song now? This song is the bomb. I'm a Nigerian. This song should be played on all radio and TV stations across Africa and even the world
The best song I've heard so far this year 😍😍🎧 on repeat... Uzomthanda wena koda uzozisola, ngat uyabakhohlwa abangani bakhe. Uzomthanda wena uzozisola, ngat uyabakhohlwa bathandimali.
I can't stop listening to this song. . When im studying I play it When im cleaning I play it When im eating I play it when im jogging I play it When im doing my laundry I play it.... THIS SONG IS SOMETHING ELSE❤❤❤❤
When I graduated in 2012 with Bcom degree, I thought I would listen to this beautiful music driving in my car for long distance trip. But ke it's life.
ooooooow man i overheard this song earlier today and i recognized Samz's voice and Sun-EL's elements then i told myself that i have to find it ...what a song oooooow man
Its 00:07 on chilly Cape Town night and I am 9 hours away from a do or die test. I am stressing,pacing up and down trying to get my head around tough concepts.Then came this song kwaphela nokokukhumsha suke wakhululeka umzimba ndalibala nalo maxhala ndanombono woluthando luneenkani lungafuni nokuva luzithandela umntu qha. Kuthi mz'ontsundu umculo sisipho sakwelemimoya indeed to us black people music is divine. Itsho kula ndawo le ngoma ngakumbi ngalo mzuzu. Let me get back to studying this Hermeneutics.
Why am only hearing this song now??? People are sleeping on good music. The beat, the lyrics the mood it sets are just awesome. Makes me want to also do something ngo Dec
I don't go out much, heard a hurrah of my colleagues constantly singing this song, didn't and couldn't really be bothered about it. That's until the day I decided to listen to it.. My gwots.. It's grown on me in elapse and bounds.. I'm happy for uSamkelo, Samthing Soweto, that he has been received and appreciated by the whole country.. It's about time.. Lovely songs, honestly..
This song deserves more than a million views, still counting. Beautiful song indeed, a tremendous SO to Sun-EL Musician and Samkelo your music gives life.
yoh finally i found it....this track was played when i won House Committe elections at res earlier this month.I wanted it ever since but didn't know the name. I love it so much, love the sound!!!
Um a Zimbabwean but i really love this song , its very powerful especially to those in love ,love yu SA people you have turn my love to areas of higher level
This song is beautiful. I think it was brilliantly put together. Also, it may just be the song that brings Samthing Soweto "back". His voice is just so complimentary to the sound. Awesome job guys. It's literally on repeat and I'm not even a house music /dance music fan. Local is getting crazy good. I'm so in love. THANK YOU for this music.
Wow as much as I don't know what they are saying i am so in love with this song......the beats are so electrifying and lively yet it still has that African feel to it! I am speechless actually but one thing i know is that I'll replay this song for hours straight.
Anyone in 2024? ❤🎉
I am here
I am hereee

Akanamali Lyrics
VERSE:
Ngiyamthanda
Noma etheni, noma enjani
Ngithanda yena okwangempelo
Ngiyamthanda
Uhlala enami emihleni
Njalo njalo kuyafano.
Ngiyamthanda
Ah yabona mpintshi yami
Angidlali mpintshi yami
Ngiyamthatha ngo december
So mamela skeem sami
Themba mina outie yami.
Ngizomthanda.
BRIDGE:
Uzomthanda wena kodwa uzoz'sola
Ngathi uyabakhohlwa abangani
Uzomthanda wena kodwa uzoz'sola
Ngathi uyabakhohlwa bathanda imali.
CHORUS:
Akanamali
Kodwa uthanda yonke
Yonke into engiyiyo
it's rocking big time 💃💃💃💃💃
