Iconic trio Jamali is back with new music
South African music group Jamali stopped by Breakfast with Martin Bester to talk about new music and perform one of their iconic songs on Friday Live.
Their comeback single, 'Ohema', an Afro-infused pop track from their EP, was released on 24 July 2026.
'Ohema' is derived from the Akan word for "queen" (or Ohemaa) in Ghana.
The project marks both a return and a reinvention, staying true to the emotional storytelling and soaring vocal performances that made fans fall in love with them, while embracing fresh sonic influences such as Afrobeats and 3-step.
The result is a mature, confident and beautifully evolved sound that reflects the women they are today.
More than just a comeback, 'Full Circle' is a celebration of legacy, sisterhood and growth.
On Friday, 14 August, Jacky, Mariechan and Liesl joined Breakfast with Martin Bester to celebrate the new music.
The trio also performed their iconic hit 'Love Me for Me' on Friday Live.
