Behind the Music

“We wanted to make
something playful and chaotic”

“We wanted to make something playful and chaotic”

BOOM, the second single from our upcoming Global Collaboration Album, does exactly that — a punchy, high-voltage dance track cut by three bold voices: Venda R&B storyteller Una Rams, Copenhagen-based British–Indonesian producer–songwriter AMUNDA, and Johannesburg rapper–poet Zanah Afrikan with roots in Soweto.

BOOM, the second single from our upcoming Global Collaboration Album, does exactly that — a punchy, high-voltage dance track cut by three bold voices: Venda R&B storyteller Una Rams, Copenhagen-based British–Indonesian producer–songwriter AMUNDA, and Johannesburg rapper–poet Zanah Afrikan with roots in Soweto.

The spark that lit BOOM! “It’s about freedom, liberation, collaboration and letting go,” says AMUNDA, who also produced the track. “We wanted to make something playful and chaotic that reflected our differences — and let it all explode on the track.”

It was one of those relentlessly hot Johannesburg days. Earlier that week, AMUNDA had been in slower, reflective sessions; this time, paired with two “wordsmiths” — Una and Zanah — she flipped the energy. She built a beat loop, slid it across the room, and everything snapped into motion — verses flying, cadences locking, the air turning electric. For Zanah, it’s simple: “BOOM is infectious and energetic with just one message: DANCE.”

“I found this big hall with an opening that looked out over the mountains — it reminded me of home in Limpopo. That connection hit me hard. I started writing with ‘I’m from the 015,’ and it pulled me right back into rapping. It felt natural, fun — and that energy is all over the song.”

The track was born at AmaGroove — our annual flagship Residency — the track brings together artists from across continents, genres, and lived experiences to co-create without limits.

Old-school electro collides with Afro hip hop and EDM; verses switch between English, Tshivenda, isiZulu, and Bahasa Indonesia. Even the raw background shouts carry layers of story, recorded by Una’s brother Matt and Muneyi The result? A track that’s impossible to stand still to — a sonic tug-of-war between chaos and control, sharpened by each artist’s distinct edge.

Experience the explosive energy of BOOM — the global dance anthem by Una Rams, AMUNDA, and Zanah Afrikan, created at our AmaGroove Residency.
