YFM DJ Samba is ending a year-long music hiatus with the release of his new single, "Umuntu," featuring Philasande. This track offers a preview of his upcoming Afro Tech project, which he states will demonstrate his artistic development and personal growth over the past year. Samba described "Umuntu" as a song that connects emotionally while retaining dancefloor appeal, emphasizing that his break allowed him to refine his sound and ensure his return with music that authentically represents his current artistic identity. His musical journey began with the keyboard in church, and he sees his radio platform as an inspiration for his own creative endeavors. He aims to contribute to the global recognition of Afro Tech, a genre he believes beautifully merges African identity with electronic music, inspired by artists like Black Coffee and Shimza.
