GRAMMY® winning flutist Wouter Kellerman, platinum-selling 'King of Dance’ groovesmith Zakes Bantwini and SA songbird of the #1 international hit ‘Jerusalema’ Nomcebo Zikode have collaborated to create ‘Bayethe’ - a song that asks for the lightening of our loads and the bringing of peace and happiness.
Wouter: I hope we can bring some good energy to the world with this song! Zakes and I have been talking for a long time about doing something together, and I’m very excited we could finally make it happen. Her beautiful singing and the expressiveness she brings to Zake’s harmonic grooves, so she was absolutely the perfect collaborator on this song.
Nomcebo: I'm so excited to share this music that I created with such amazing and talented collaborators! In the song we are giving praise to God and ask him to help us lighten the load that we carry and bring happiness and freedom.
Zakes: I love collaborating and the idea of the 3 of us working together on a record was a no-brainer! Bayethe gives praise to the most high and truly is a soundtrack of my life.
