Leading Afro House vocalist Lizwi joins forces with international electronic artist Tommy Veanud on “UNqamlezo,” a powerful new single rooted in African musical traditions and driven by spiritual depth. Set for release on April 30, 2026 via TV Recordings, the track blends organic percussion, tribal rhythms, and rich melodic textures into a hypnotic, dancefloor-ready experience.
At the core of “UNqamlezo” is Lizwi’s unmistakable vocal presence—raw, emotive, and deeply resonant. Performed in IsiZulu, the title translates to “The Cross,” carrying a message centered on faith, protection, and spiritual guidance. Through both light and dark moments, the song encourages unwavering belief in divine power, grace, and love. The production complements this message with a steady groove and carefully structured arrangement, creating an atmosphere where spirituality and movement coexist seamlessly.
Lizwi has become a defining voice within Afro House, earning recognition through collaborations with artists like Da Capo and releases on Armada Music, alongside continued support from global tastemakers including Black Coffee. Her catalog spans influential labels such as MoBlack Records and Get Physical Music, reinforcing her position within the genre’s global landscape.
Her 2024 collaboration “Amathole” with Joezi gained widespread attention, further amplified by a Russian-language adaptation with Filatov & Karas that achieved strong radio rotation. On the live front, Lizwi has performed more than 200 shows across Russia, including appearances at the Tavrida Art Festival, while also touring internationally across the United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia, Tunisia, Turkey, Morocco, Thailand, Bali, and Mykonos.
Behind the Tommy Veanud project is Artem Dunaev, also known as Prime Punk, a seasoned DJ and producer with over 15 years of experience. His career includes collaborations with artists such as Molella, Idd Aziz, Yves V, and Burak Yeter, along with a notable performance at Ultra Europe in 2024.
Since launching the Tommy Veanud alias, he has surpassed three million streams while earning consistent support across Beatport charts and backing from artists including Hugel, MEDUZA, and Marco Carola. His touring footprint spans 12 countries and 25 cities worldwide, with performances in destinations such as Amsterdam, Ibiza, Tokyo, Phuket, Moscow, Goa, Bahrain, and Macau, sharing stages with names like Volac, Goom Gum, Shapov, and Alexander Popov. His work is also tied to labels including Bunny Tiger, Redolent Music, Exx Muzik, and Cafe de Anatolia.
With “UNqamlezo,” Lizwi and Tommy Veanud deliver a release that bridges cultural expression with modern electronic production. The single stands as a reflection of Afro House’s continued global evolution—where spirituality, rhythm, and storytelling converge on the dancefloor.
