The Amapiano sound and dance music in general has not only become a landmark for South Africa globally but also for our fellow musicians. We could not be prouder of the DJ’ and producers that are raising the South African flag globally currently from the likes of Lady Du and Boohle just to name a few. Here is a list of the South African musicians that are currently building a name for themselves and representing the country overseas.
Amaroto (Reece Madlisa and Zuma) are currently in the UK:
The talented Duo have finally gotten their big break to go shine beyond the borders of Africa.
The ‘Iy’ntsimbi zase envy’ hit makers are currently touring the UK through ‘The Kings of Ama-piano’ event. They had their debut performance on the 1st of April in the UK at Manchester by the ‘BEC Arena’. They have secured another weekend in Dublin, flying the Amapiano flag up high.

We are very happy for them and we wish them nothing but the best with their careers. May they continue to shine and growing bigger.
Shimza, Darque & Desiree are raising the Kunye Flag high in London:
Kunye Records is one of South Africa’s best dance music hubs. The platform has shown us alternative to what the dance music can be. Playing their first ever sold out show in London, Shimza is introducing Darque and Desiree
Kunye, a platform that connects South Africa’s established and unsung stars to international artists, peers and audiences, shining a light on our colourful soundscape.
This is not the first time that Shimza is taking a Kunye set overseas. In November 2021, he collaborated with Chasing Sunsets by Corona to bring us a Kunye virtual streaming party with Shimza featuring Darque, in front of the Eiffel Tower in Paris. It was streamed digitally on Thursday, 11th November 2021.
Lady Du making a name for herself in the UK:
Lady Du doesn’t need any introduction as the name already speaks for itself. If she isn’t out performing, she is out there making hits and like no other she also got to fly out with other superstars to tour with the ‘Scorpion Kings’ in the UK. The talented Musician has constantly continued to break boundaries in this music space and also show us her capabilities.

The talented singer-songwriter, is really destined for greatness as the signs have always been put up from the Time Square Spotify feature to performing in the UK. All we have to say to Lady Du is continue bagging all the opportunities that are ‘Due’ to you.
We are very hyped to see what the ‘First Lady’ herself has in the vault for us. In the meantime, you can continue to scrolling on her socials to see what else she is getting up whilst overseas.
Boohle is living by her name indeed as she makes ‘BEAUTIFUL MEMORIES’ in the UK:
The ‘Siyathandana’ hitmaker is absolutely making ‘waves’ overseas as she also tours with the rest of the gang in the UK through ‘The Kings of Ama-Piano’ event. Boohle has been a ‘Beaming Star’ in the making and this time around she gets to shine not only in Africa but then all over the world.
We have so much excitement for Boohle’s career as she continues to do nothing but live by her name which glorifies ‘Beauty’ and we know that beautiful things are coming her way in a much bigger and better form.

Osama is not the only great achievement for Kasango as he tours the world:
We have been seeing more and more of South African Producer and DJ, Kasango since his break-through on ‘Osama’. The talented artist has since utilised the recognition that he received from Zakes Bantwini’s Global Charting single ‘Osama’ last year. Kasango has since received gig after gig and currently is doing his own Global tour. The local talent is in the UK and he is getting ready to fly further than the UK.

We are very happy for Kasango as he deserves every blessing coming his way. We will definitely keep our eyes open on the next moves of Kasango as he is moving towards the right direction.
You can also do the same by visiting his social media platforms to see where he goes to next.
DJ Maphorisa is currently penetrating the US market
The Scorpion Kings have indeed chosen delicately for their tour as the talented acts they have on their tour with them continue to do what ‘Society’ deems to be impossible. Although DJ Maphorisa is currently in the USA, we know that he is very proud and will definitely be flying back to tour with them…we hope.
May they continue to create more platforms for our fellow south African musicians to shine as well as grow. We look forward to see what the tour entails of further.
From us to all the listed talents, we are very proud and we wish nothing but the best for you. Continue raising the flag and showing the rest of the world what South Africa is all about.
