All roads lead to the Durban July, and Afrotainment, together with the Scorpion Kings, are ensuring they usher us in with a banger! A sonic shift is hitting the South African airwaves with the release of ‘ZASHA’, a high-energy and genre-blending Gqom anthem that unites some of the country’s biggest names across multiple music scenes. Spearheaded by Gqom heavyweight DJ Tira and the Kings of Amapiano, DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small, the track features powerhouse collaborators from 2-Step, amapiano, and dance music, delivering a cross-genre experience that breaks every rule and redefines local sound.
Set for release on Friday, the 4th of July, a day before Mzansi’s prestigious event, Durban July, ‘Zasha’ brings together the bass-heavy drive of Gqom with melodic hooks and lyrical fire from a star-studded line-up including Leehleza, Uncool MC, Dladla Mshunqisi, Captain, and Campmasters. The track is both an anthem for the streets and a bold step toward unity within South Africa’s music culture.
This track is a fusion of everything we love about African music – energy, soul, rhythm, and edge. DJ Tira, DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small showcases how different styles can come together without losing their power – Gqom is the heart, but the pulse comes from everywhere.
