M-Jan Record has officially released Maratong, a vibrant new dance single by Janesh featuring Hitboss SA. The track arrives as an energetic Lekompo anthem that blends romance, rhythm, and a touch of emotional reality, positioning itself as a timely post-Valentine’s Day release.
A Playful Take on Love and Reality
Driven by fast-paced beats, catchy chants, and strong dance-floor energy, Maratong explores the experience of chasing love wholeheartedly only to realise the connection was never genuine. The song mixes humour, heartbreak, and streetwise storytelling, turning the idea of romantic pursuit into a metaphorical marathon that ends in reflection rather than romance.
Rising Star from Limpopo
Janesh, born Jane Malemela, is an emerging Lekompo artist from Limpopo who has steadily built a reputation for vibrant performances and authentic storytelling. She gained broader attention through her contribution to the hit song Bao Jelasa from the album Dikoloto by Motion Roots.
Building a Growing Catalogue
Her expanding discography includes tracks such as Painkiller, Partnerer, Psycho, and Ditjotjo, each highlighting her bold vocal style and ability to connect traditional Lekompo influences with contemporary dance sounds.
Representing the New Wave of Lekompo
Coming from modest beginnings, Janesh is part of a new generation of Limpopo artists pushing Lekompo music onto bigger platforms. Known for her work ethic and strong cultural roots, she continues to establish herself as both a performer and creative force within South Africa’s evolving dance music landscape.
