Aleo & Malo Drops Emotionally Powerful New Single “Thando”

International music producer Malo on the Beat has released “Thando,” a groundbreaking new single that showcases the unifying power of music across cultures and continents. The track brings together the creative forces of Zimbabwean-born Malo, Yugoslav producer Aleo, and talented vocalist Oscar De Racso in a soulful collaboration that blends Southern African rhythms with European electronic textures.
“Thando,” which means “love” in several Southern African languages, serves as both a celebration of cultural synergy and a deeply emotional ode to the unbreakable bonds between people. Oscar De Racso’s smooth, heartfelt vocals float over lush, immersive production that creates a fresh, globally inspired sound celebrating love, connection, and music’s power to bridge geographical divides.
The Hamburg-based producer has been making waves in the international music scene since his 2015 debut, building a reputation as a multi-genre artist whose work transcends traditional boundaries. His impressive portfolio includes collaborations with acclaimed artists from around the globe, including Talwiinder from India, South Africa’s Tellaman, India’s Muzzle, Zimbabwe’s Hanna, and Egypt’s Djiza.
Malo’s artistic journey embodies the spirit of a musical polyglot, drawing from his unique background that bridges African heritage with European influences. Born in Germany to Balkan parents, he was profoundly influenced by the old Yugoslav cassettes that filled his childhood home. Beginning with accordion at age five, he later mastered piano, guitar, and drums as a self-taught musician before discovering digital music production as a teenager.
His dedication and belief in the power of resilience have earned him notable recognition, including features on MTV, Rolling Stone Magazine, and BBC Radio. These achievements underscore his ability to captivate international audiences and solidify his position as a global musical force.
The single is available now on all major streaming platforms.
