A NOTE ABOUT "HAMBA WENA" (AMAPIANO SONG) BY DEEP LONDON AND BOOHLE
From https://genius.com/Deep-london-and-boohle-hamba-wena-lyrics *
" “Hamba Wena,” which translates to “you go,” serves as Deep
London’s debut track since he started music production in 2013. Before
producing ipiano, he was a deep house producer.
According to an interview with news24, this song came about
after Deep London left his hometown in March 2022, following his lack of
success with deep house music production. The collaboration with prominent
Amapiano vocalist Boohle, was the result of a string of emails with beats he
would constantly send to Boohle’s manager until they agreed on the beat for the
song."

Pancocojams Editor's Note: Based on what I've read online, it appears that the Amapiano song has been given a different meaning (encouraging someone to continue dancing: "You go, Girl" or "You Go Boy") rather than the lyrics' literal meanings (Saying goodbye to a beloved person who is leaving). The Gwijo songs adhere to the literal meanings of those words.
Also, the tune and beats for the Gwijo songs are different than the tune and beats for the Amapiano song.
