Download Babes Wodumo – AMA drums ft. Mampintsha & Madanon

“AMA Drums” is Babes Wodumo’s punchy comeback, full of raw Gqom power, magnetic charisma and loud Zulu pride. The track roars with two of Durban’s legendary Gqom voices – the late Mampintsha and Madanon – and pays tribute to KwaZulu‑Natal’s street‑wise beat culture, a sound that blends rhythm, intensity and swagger.

Babes recently turned up on the Imizwa podcast alongside Mawhoo and Trymore.

From the first boom, the track lives up to its name – the drums are heavy, stacked and never let up. Production is unmistakably West Ink: deep kick drums, crisp snares and hypnotic synth chops that feel almost tribal. It’s a track meant to move people – to shake taxis, shake bars and shake dance floors across Mzansi.

Babes Wodumo takes the reins with “electric” vocals. She throws playful yet commanding lines, blending attitude, humor and street slang. Her voice slices through the beat with rawness that is both fierce and feminine, proving why she’s still the Queen of Gqom. She doesn’t just sing – she owns the rhythm, chanting and mic‑shouting in a way that pulls listeners into Durban’s sonic core.

Mampintsha’s baritone adds a familiar weight, a reminder of his lasting impact on Gqom. His verses bring balance and groove, anchoring Babes’ fire with laid‑back authority. Madanon, on the other hand, injects explosive street flair: sharp delivery and fast energy that lift the record’s infectious groove.

The lyrics celebrate unity, rhythm and the pure joy of music. “AMA Drums” is about how a beat brings people together and how Gqom’s sound speaks resilience, identity and pride. Beneath the danceable surface it’s an anthem of heritage and self‑expression, pulsing with Durban’s spirit.

In short, “AMA Drums” isn’t just a song – it’s a celebration of Gqom’s heartbeat, a blend of legacy and high energy that keeps Mampintsha alive while cementing Babes Wodumo’s reign. Raw, unapologetic and grounded in South African rhythm, no one can command those drums quite like she does.
