New Song: NND International Imnandi Download Mp3
NND International open their Amalambu album with “Imnandi,” a track that sets the tone for the 12-song Maskandi project. Released on April 10, 2025, the song runs for about 4½ minutes and is credited entirely to NND International, with Evans Smith listed as the engineer.

NND International are a South African Maskandi group with a catalogue that includes NND INTERNATIONAL, Impi Yenja Nenazaretha, Amanz’ Esdumbu and Amalambu. Their music stays closely connected to the storytelling tradition that makes Maskandi such a distinctive part of South African culture.
Amalambu itself contains 12 tracks, including “Uxolo,” “Umnumzane,” “Emanxiweni,” “Icala,” “EmaTarven” and “Bayakhala” featuring Kwazi Nsele. Opening with “Imnandi” gives the project an accessible first step before the album moves into its other subjects.

At 104 BPM, “Imnandi” sits at a comfortable pace, giving the song room to establish its rhythm without feeling rushed. Its position as the opening track is significant too: before listeners get to the more serious or reflective titles later in the album, NND International begin by setting an inviting tone.
Conclusion
There is something fitting about starting a project with a title that essentially says “it’s good.” It feels confident without needing a long introduction. Sometimes the best way to introduce an album is simply to make the first song enjoyable enough to keep people listening.
