Aymos is once again proving his versatility and cultural pride as he prepares to release a brand-new Tsonga single titled “Xigubu.” The acclaimed vocalist and songwriter announced that the much-anticipated track will officially drop this Friday, 6 February, sending excitement through his fanbase and the broader music community.
Known for his soulful voice and strong presence in the amapiano space, Aymos has consistently shown his ability to blend different sounds and languages while staying rooted in his heritage. With Xigubu, the singer is taking a bold step in celebrating Tsonga culture through music, answering long-standing calls from fans who have been eager to hear more Tsonga-centered releases from him.
The upcoming single features Miss Hilary, Blackmyth, and EM-One, all artists recognized for singing in Tsonga and for their contributions to promoting the language and culture through music. The collaboration promises an authentic and powerful sound, bringing together voices that understand the rhythm, spirit, and storytelling deeply embedded in Tsonga music.
Aymos made the announcement on Instagram, where he wrote a heartfelt message entirely in Tsonga, signaling just how personal the release is to him. His post read:
“This Friday the #Tsonga anthem drops‼️
Vavasati na vavanuna, hi yingisile swikombelo swa n’wina. Hi tsakile ku tivisa leswaku ‘Xigubu’ na Hilary, Black Myth & Emone yi ta humela erivaleni hi Ravuntlhanu leri taka.
Risimu ri ta kumeka emapulatifomuni hinkwawo ya dijithali.”
Translated loosely, the message confirms that the artist has listened to fans’ requests and is excited to finally share Xigubu, which will be available on all digital streaming platforms.
The title Xigubu, which refers to a traditional drum, already hints at a song deeply rooted in African rhythm, celebration, and identity. Fans are expecting a vibrant anthem that blends traditional influences with contemporary production, a balance Aymos has mastered over the years.
As he continues to expand his musical footprint, Aymos remains one of the artists pushing South African music forward while honoring its diverse cultures. Xigubu is shaping up to be more than just a single—it’s a cultural moment.
With anticipation building and social media buzzing, all eyes are now on Friday.
