Featuring Miss Hillary & Blackmyth
Aymos Honors Tsonga Heritage In Cultural Anthem ‘Xigubu’ – Multi-platinum-selling vocalist and songwriter Aymos is proud to announce the release of his latest single, “Xigubu,” a masterful collaboration featuring the soaring vocals of Miss Hilary and the innovative touch of Blackmyth. Produced by the talented Em-one, this Xitsonga-rooted masterpiece is more than just a song; it is a profound celebration of the Tsonga nation’s identity and pride, arriving on all major digital platforms today.
“Xigubu,” which translates to “The Drum,” serves as a rhythmic heartbeat for the culture it represents. While Aymos has long been the gold standard for soulful storytelling in the South African music space, this release sees him leaning deeply into the rich heritage of the Tsonga people. The track masterfully blends modern Amapiano textures with the traditional energy of the Xibelani, creating a sound that is both authentic to its roots and ready for global dancefloors.
The single features a powerhouse vocal arrangement, with Miss Hilary leading the cultural narrative while Blackmyth provides stellar vocal support, adding layers of harmony that elevate the track’s spiritual feel. Behind the boards, Em-one delivers a production that honors the “drum” as the foundation of African celebration, supported by Blackmyth’s additional creative input.
“Music is the most powerful way to preserve our heritage,” says Aymos. “With ‘Xigubu,’ I wanted to pay homage to the Tsonga nation their vibrancy, their dance, and their strength. Working with Em one, Miss Hilary, and Blackmyth was an intentional move to ensure the sound stayed true to the spirit of the people while inviting everyone to feel the rhythm.”
