SAMA29 held its nomination event on Tuesday, the 3rd of October. Some of the impressive nominations from the day were on the REMIX OF THE YEAR category.
‘Ndinovalo’ (New Version)’ by Mörda and Yallunder was one of the songs nominated from the category. The song is taken from Mörda’s debut album as a solo artist, titled ‘Asante’.
Where else ‘Ndinovalo’, the original version, is taken from the 2020 joint record label released album, ‘iSambulo’, by the 1020 Cartel, which was led by Yallunder.
In her three year of being in the music industry ‘Ndinovalo’ becomes one of Yallunder’s prominent songs outside of the collaborative work in the dance music genre. The title of the songs is Xhosa for “I have fear”.
The song is about a troubled soul that acknowledges its pain in its helplessness. It invokes Yallunder’s constant need to heal oneself, comfort thy-self and the need to provide all this healing to the next person.
The SAMA29 ceremony will be held in the City of Durban on the 18th of November and this is already a big win for Yallunder as it is her first major nomination.
The rising star is certainly off to a good start. Her talent’s acknowledgement from the SAMAs is affirmation that a lot awaits Yallunder from the other end. Mörda and Yallunder’s collaboration on ‘Ndinovalo (New Version)’ is bearing its fruits.
