Muneyi, born in the heart of Limpopo, is a singer-songwriter and storyteller whose music pulses with memory, myth, and meaning. Rooted in the rhythms of his Tshivenda heritage, Muneyi weaves ancestral wisdom with contemporary reflection, creating a sound that is both timeless and urgently present. His work is an act of cultural preservation and personal revelation — an offering that speaks to the soul while honoring the soil from which it grows.
Inspired deeply by his makhulu (grandmother), Muneyi’s lyrics explore the complexities of love, loss, healing, and identity. Through her stories and songs, he inherited not only language, but a way of seeing the world—one that is gentle, poetic, and profoundly spiritual. These influences echo throughout his music, which often feels like a conversation across generations, where the past and present meet in quiet, powerful harmony.
Singing predominantly in Tshivenda, Muneyi’s work transcends linguistic boundaries, inviting audiences into an emotional landscape that needs no translation. His voice — tender yet resolute — carries the weight of memory and the hope of renewal. Whether performing on intimate stages or large platforms, he captivates listeners with an authenticity that is rare and deeply moving.
As part of a new wave of South African artists reclaiming indigenous narratives through sound, Muneyi continues to carve a space that is unapologetically rooted and resonantly global. His music is not just to be heard — it’s to be felt, remembered, and carried forward.
