Sva & Dukanation & Phumeza Dingana - Hlamba Izandla (COVID-19 Song) (feat. Phumeza Dingana)

The world’s plight against the Covid-19 pandemic urges us to practice social distancing amongst a few other precautionary measures. Quarantining is also another form of protecting others from getting infected. We can’t gather together, but we stand in solidarity. It’s a rare case of unity in isolation. Isolation isn’t division in this instance. We’re separately fighting against a common enemy. It’s a collective effort that each person has to execute from their individual capacity. It’s a coalescence of methodologies to combat our common enemy.

Music has been known to be a healer of all ailments. It's no surprise that amidst this lockdown, there’s a collaborative effort to raise awareness against the Covid-19 epidemic. Sva, Dukanation, Phumeza Dingana, and Deejay Soso have came together to craft a masterpiece which is a musical contribution to the world’s battle against this pandemic. It’s a Sva and Dukanation joint, featuring the songbird, Phumeza Dingana, and produced by Deejay Soso. It was recorded after the declaration of the lockdown because the digital world allows people to come together without getting into physical gatherings.

The artists involved took it as their artistic duty to raise awareness through music. The primary message is that people should wash their hands. But the general message is that everyone should adhere to the regulations, and obey the rules from the department of health, and the President of the Republic of South Africa. This germane message regarding an illness that has recently been at the epicenter of world politics and mainstream media was recorded over Amapiano instrumentals. Even in distress, we need to dance. In actual fact, dancing is a well-known reliever of stress. The joint is awareness through entertainment.

Music continues to play a huge role in the betterment of life. This is the perfect song to quarantine with when you’re a party animal who feels caged in during the lockdown. It reminds you of the fun that you miss, but also helps you to understand the need for the sacrificial of social gatherings. Have fun in isolation with this particular piece of music.
