Namibian artists light up screens with new music videos
Visuals amplify summer sound
Namibia’s music scene is buzzing this October, with some of the country’s biggest names pairing infectious sounds with bold new visuals. From Kwaito-infused anthems to reflective ballads and fashion-forward statements, these releases mark a vibrant chapter in the local entertainment landscape.
Manxebe ft Drawer Locosounds - Oshikwatam’ndilo
Manxebe, teaming up with Drawer Locosounds, unveiled the music video for ‘Oshikwatam’ndilo’ on Thursday, 2 October. Shot by Sodo, the video has already amassed more than 7,000 views on YouTube in just days. With its spirited Kwaito rhythms and undeniable chemistry between the two performers, the track is already tipped as a contender for song of the summer. The quick rollout of a music video strengthens its prospects, ensuring the tune is more than just a fleeting seasonal hit.
Mushe ft Bafana - Omapundulo
Meanwhile, Mushe, an award-winning artist and entrepreneur, is redefining consistency. His latest release, ‘Omapundulo’ featuring Bafana, dropped on Wednesday, 1 October, offering a reflective message of gratitude. The release follows a string of back-to-back music videos, including ‘Molokasi’ featuring Jittah, and ‘Oshina Okweenda Nawa,’ which has clocked over 37,000 views in just two weeks. Mushe’s approach underscores how music videos serve as both artistic extensions and powerful promotional tools, setting a pace that younger artists are keenly observing.
Exit Rockaz - Changes
Exit Rockaz, never one to shy away from bold statements, takes a different direction with ‘Changes.’ More than just a song, the video is a cinematic ode to style, with Dynamic Design crafting a bespoke outfit exclusively for the shoot. Musically, the track samples Bruce Hornsby and the Range’s 1986 classic ‘The Way It Is,’ adding a nostalgic yet contemporary edge. Exit closes the video with a poignant tribute to reggae pioneer Ras Sheehama, anchoring the release in both global influence and Namibian legacy.
Together, these videos represent more than just fresh content—they’re a showcase of how Namibian artists are marrying sound and vision to push boundaries. With audiences streaming, sharing and dissecting every drop, this new wave of visuals is proof that the country’s performers are as inventive as they are prolific.
