Sha Sha ft: Ami Faku - Themba Lami (Single)

Sha Sha, the Queen of Amapiano, has teamed up with modern Afro Soul songstress Ami Faku to deliver “Themba Lami” available now via RCA.

“Themba Lami” is the second single from Sha Sha’s upcoming album ‘I’M Alive’ and comes after she dropped “Ungowami” to launch the album pre-order. “Themba Lami” was born out of the heartbreak and break-up stories shared by Sha Sha and Ami during a studio session.

Speaking about the single, Sha Sha shared; “‘Themba Lami’ is about how we as women keep giving so much to men, but don’t get it back. It shows women’s vulnerability (which can be toxic sometimes).  We decided to put all of that in a record and I hope everyone enjoys it.” 

The Sha Sha and Ami collaboration was inevitable, given the chemistry between the two songstresses and their unique, yet complementary music and overall styles. The two are also friends who have worked together before, so a collaboration for Sha Sha’s album was only a matter of time.

Reflecting on how  the collaboration came about, Sha Sha says after connecting with Ami on Instagram, the two worked on three songs. “This was at the time  we worked on Nomfundo Moh’s ‘Phakade Lami’. Our heartbreak and love stories are all embedded in this track one way the other.”
