Renowned DJ, producer, and multi-talented artist Miza has officially released his new single, Ukuphumelela, now available for streaming worldwide. The track features the vibrant contributions of BosPianii and Sponch Makhekhe, delivering a sound that celebrates victory and resilience.

Ukuphumelela is a soulful 3-step house anthem grounded in South Africa’s iconic dance music rhythms. The title, which translates from IsiZulu as “to succeed,” “to achieve,” or “to be victorious,” conveys a message of hope, triumph, and the joy of overcoming life’s challenges. The lyrics echo this sentiment:

“Sawubona, Sawubona, Sawubona, Sawubona
Kudala sikokota kotota, Vulani iminyango
Kudala sikokota kotota, Vulani iminyango.”

In English, this translates to:

“Hello, hello, hello, hello.
We’ve been knocking for a long time, open the doors.
We’ve been knocking for a long time, open the doors.”

The words serve as a metaphor for persistence, symbolizing the relentless pursuit of opportunities until doors finally open.

The single brings together the melodic depth of BosPianii and the charismatic delivery of Sponch Makhekhe. Their collaboration with Miza creates a track that is both infectious on the dancefloor and meaningful in its message, blending traditional South African sounds with contemporary house music.

Miza has built a legacy of musical storytelling over a career spanning more than a decade. From performing on global stages like Primavera Sound and SXSW to releasing hit singles such as Feeling and acclaimed albums like Muzika and Mmino Wa Batho, he continues to push creative boundaries while remaining rooted in South African culture. Ukuphumelela represents the next chapter in his journey, blending house music with cultural storytelling and reaffirming his place as a leading voice in the industry.
