Cwaka, meaning “silence” in isiXhosa, is a transcendent Afro-electronic collaboration between Dutch producer Joep Mencke, South African vocalist and storyteller Zimsto eRoofini, and seasoned sound sculptor El Mundo. This meditative journey blends haunting ancestral vocals with organic percussion, atmospheric textures, and a steady groove that quietly commands the dancefloor.

Crafted between continents, Cwaka embodies the spiritual dialogue between traditional Southern African expression and contemporary electronic production. Zimsto’s performance, recorded in Cape Town, carries the emotional weight of lived experience, while Joep Mencke and El Mundo delicately layer melodic elements that enhance rather than overshadow the voice’s raw intimacy.

Released under BFM Records, this track speaks to a universal need for stillness and reflection, a reminder that in silence we find rhythm, connection, and healing.
