Curation Picks: Kabza De Small, DJ Maphorisa, Vigro Deep - Wishi Wishi

"Wishi Wishi" is a groundbreaking record because it's where the pioneers of the original style of Amapiano and the new age of Amapiano meet. Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa are instrumental forces in the genre. Having captured the hearts of South Africans and the rest of the world by storm during the COVID-19 era with downtempo, soulful and melodic records — which gave a lot of us hope during times of uncertainty and birthed the wave of Amapiano — they're now back with "Wishi Wishi."

I've mentioned in previous articles that Vigro Deep is the pioneer of Amapiano-tech, an electronic genre approach. On the theme of fusions, this record is a combination of Amapiano, Gqom, and Afro Tech. The record is bass heavy due to its Gqom influence (a type of Bass/Club genre from the coastal regions of South Africa), melodic due to its Afro Tech influence, and catchy due to its lyricism from Young Stunna and Scotts Maphuma — two of the genre's most in-demand vocalists. Put this record on for any dance floor — be it in Europe, America, or South Africa — the result will be people quickly losing their morals.
