Tresor, Batundi & Msaki Unite on “NALIYA” — A Soul-Stirring Afro-Electronic Anthem
Tresor, Batundi, and Msaki have joined forces for the breathtaking new single “NALIYA”, now available on all platforms. Described as a continuation of the story that began with Sondela, this emotionally rich collaboration weaves together Afro-soul, electronic house, and African pop into a powerful narrative about love, heartbreak, and healing.
“New Music ‘NALIYA’ with Batundi & Msaki. Out Now 💎 We’re very excited to share this special song with you as a continuation of Sondela 🌹 Enjoy ❤️” .

“First Tresor and I did Sondela, now the saga continues with our Brother Batundi!!! Ps. Don’t laugh at my dancing!”.
– Msaki added
Anchored by Batundi’s lush production and elevated by the unmistakable voices of Tresor and Msaki, “NALIYA” explores emotional betrayal with poignant lyrics like:
“And I know when you’re lying, I can see that you’re lying right to my face…”
A Congolese-born, South African-based artist, Batundi is redefining the sound of African dance music. “NALIYA” is his debut release under Jacquel Dance, the newly launched dance imprint of TRESOR’s Jacquel Entertainment Group, signaling a bold new era for African pop rooted in rhythm, culture, and sonic innovation.
With global credentials including work with Drake, Tems, and Popcaan, Batundi steps confidently into the spotlight—not just as a producer, but as a visionary artist.
“NALIYA” is more than a song; it’s a celebration of resilience, love’s enduring imprint, and the power of collaboration between some of Africa’s most celebrated voices.
