Curation Picks: DJ Maphorisa, Mellow & Sleazy, Uncle Waffles, DJ DadaMan - Ke Nakwela
Returning to the roots of and origins of Amapiano, new age talents and genre pioneers have reincarnated old house genres like Bacardi which originated from Pretoria, South Africa. On this record, DJ Maphorisa teamed up with new-age Bacardi pioneers Mellow & Sleazy, DJ Dadaman, and Uncle Waffles to create "Ke Nakwela" from their collective Bacardi Fest EP.
MCs are vital vibe curators in the Amapiano nightlife while DJs perform bass-heavy groovy tunes. Uncool MC, who is a key driving voice in the Amapiano nightlife, is well known for his catchy chants, high energy and dance challenge-creating moves at major events. He is this record's main vocalist. As festival season approaches in South Africa, I anticipate "Ke Nakwela" being one of the top songs of the summer.
