LOMAHASHA – A bold new sound has hit the Eswatini airwaves as BoB Musician (Bongani Gamedze) and Bless LePoet (Sibusiso Shongwe) unveil their groundbreaking Amapiano-poetry collaboration, AmaBenjamin—a powerful blend of rhythm and spoken word that’s turning heads across the Kingdom.
Released under the Afro Melodies label, AmaBenjamin is more than just a track—it’s a movement. Seamlessly merging heartfelt poetry with infectious Amapiano beats, the song delivers a unique listening experience that’s already resonating with both music fans and poetry lovers alike.
Following its teaser release on YouTube, AmaBenjamin is now officially approved for airplay on Eswatini Broadcasting Information Services (EBIS) 91.6 / 88.9FM, thanks to respected broadcaster from the English Channel (EBIS2)Fiona Russell Schmidt, aka Fifidope. This approval marks a major milestone for the duo, expanding their audience and bringing poetic storytelling to mainstream airwaves.
With the poignant hook “Angeke Banthande Bonke, Mina Angiyon’ iMali” (“Not everyone will love me; I am not money”), the track delivers raw emotional truth, touching on acceptance, rejection, and the human desire to be understood.
Listeners are encouraged to show their support by commenting “AmaBenjamin” under Fifi’s official Facebook post, helping the song gain more momentum and airplay.
Building on the buzz of their earlier track Dlozi Lami—which racked up over 1,000 views in just three weeks—BoB Musician and Bless LePoet are proving themselves as genre disruptors who aren’t afraid to take risks.
And there’s more on the way. Starting 3 July 2025, AmaBenjamin will be available on all major digital streaming platforms, giving fans across the globe a chance to connect with its bold message and groovy beats. With future releases like Cypher 04 on the horizon, the duo’s creative journey is just getting started.
“This track is a reflection of who we are,” says BoB Musician. “We want people to feel seen, to dance, and to think—all at once.”
