Bandros drops “Brenda 2.0” – a fresh take on South Africa’s soul‑music legacy
Bandros’ newest single “Brenda 2.0” – featuring vocalists Mia, guitarist Sipho Magudulela, and the duo Kagiso & Simon – blends soul, jazz and Amapiano into a sound that feels both nostalgic and brand‑new.
With a nod to the legendary Brenda Fassie, the track radiates freedom, bright energy and that unmistakable South‑African vibe that Bandros is known for.

The song opens with silky chords and deep basslines that instantly wrap listeners in a lush, immersive groove. Simple guitar riffs from Sipho add a live, organic touch, while Mia’s soaring vocals bring a blend of power and tenderness. Kagiso and Simon layer harmonies and add instrumental depth, giving the track a full‑bodied feel that mixes contemporary Amapiano with Afro‑soul sophistication.
Bandros used this mix to create a track that feels both celebratory and reflective – a revival of classic South‑African soul through a modern Amapiano lens. The result is a groove that’s perfect for a quiet night in or a dance‑floor hit, striking the right balance between smooth listening and kinetic energy.
“Brenda 2.0” is more than a song; it’s a heartfelt homage that pays respect to Brenda Fassie while pushing Bandros’s own musical boundaries forward.
