Maglera Doe Boy gave his fans a powerful gift for his birthday, dropping the official music video for his song “God Is Power,” a track from his acclaimed album, DIASPORA. The video, a collaboration with producer ONDELIVE and featuring vocalist Burningforestboy, is a heartfelt homage to Maglera’s roots.
The artist shared the news with a poignant message on social media, reflecting on his journey and paying tribute to his heritage. “And on this day my ancestors said let there be a King,” he wrote. “Tau. Let his name be Tokelo. Let him speak for his people.”
The video is a visual narrative shot in the places that shaped him: the city of Matlosana where he came up and the township of Kanana where he was raised. This setting gives the video an authentic and deeply personal feel, connecting his powerful lyrics directly to the landscapes and community that inspired them. Maglera even gave a special shout-out to Matlosana’s Mayor, Fikile Mahlope, for allowing him to film at the city council and in his office, further embedding the project in the fabric of his hometown.
Produced by Fiji Mageba, “God Is Power” is a standout track that combines Maglera Doe Boy’s signature lyrical depth with a soulful, gospel-infused sound. The addition of Burningforestboy’s vocals elevates the track, creating a truly moving and spiritual experience. The music video, Maglera’s first in almost a year, serves as a powerful testament to his growth as an artist and his unwavering connection to his roots. It’s more than just a video; it’s a celebration of identity, a thank you to his community, and a powerful statement of purpose.
