The second remix off Morena Leraba’s acclaimed debut EP, Fela sa Ha Mojela is the electrifying sound of Spoek Mathambo propelling "Malishon'ilanga" straight to the heart of the dancefloor.

As might be anticipated when the dynamic South African producer takes on some of the most original music released in 2023, the Morena Leraba original is taken to new heights through this new iteration as traditional African rhythms fuse with contemporary electronic elements to create a seamless fusion of sound. 

The result is a pulsating rhythm that transports listeners to the heart of the dance floor, where every beat is felt deep within the soul; a sonic journey that sees Mathambo unleash his unparalleled creativity by infusing "Malishon'ilanga” with a mesmerising percussive molasses groove.

Whether you're a music aficionado or a casual listener, this remix promises an unforgettable auditory experience.

Spoek Mathambo’s "Malishon'ilanga” remix is part of a series of releases of each of the tracks off Morena Leraba’s acclaimed debut EP, Fela sa Ha Mojela. "Malishon'ilanga” follows Vox Portent’s emotional remix of “Heleru” with more remixes to be released in the coming months. 

Over the past nine years, Morena Leraba has become a globally acclaimed flagbearer of a remodelled Lesotho sound, manifested through a series of memorable live performances, numerous high-wattage collaborations (with artists such as Major Lazer, Moonchild Sanelly and BLK JKS) and inclusion in key creative projects, like Damon Albarn’s Africa Express.
