Shandesh links up with Boohle and Hitboss SA on “Lebodhelo,” a Lekompo-driven dance record built for full dancefloors.
Shandesh handles production on the track, while Boohle brings her smooth, melodic vocal style into a genre she hasn’t fully stepped into before. Also, Hitboss SA layers a driving 125 BPM groove underneath everything, giving the record that fast, electronic pulse Lekompo fans have come to expect. Performed mostly in Northern Sotho, the song carries strong regional roots while staying accessible to a wider Amapiano crossover audience.
This marks Boohle’s first major Lekompo collaboration, and her vocal approach adapts naturally to the genre’s raw, rhythmic production style. That pairing feels significant given how Lekompo has grown well beyond its Limpopo origins recently, pulling collaborators from across South Africa’s broader dance music scene the same way Amapiano did during its own rise.
Songwriting credits go to Rakgoale Nelly Machete, Hlengiwe Manyathi, and Clarrence Mangena, shaping the lyrical foundation behind Boohle’s delivery. Shandesh continues building her catalogue with records like “Mpepe” and “Warrior,” and “Lebodhelo” adds another strong entry to that momentum.
With three respected names behind it, the record signals just how far Lekompo’s reach has expanded this year.
