Dj Maphorisa, Kabza De Small & Oskido – Afro Wave ft. Olodum, Tman Xpress & Phila Dlozi As the rave scene in West Africa continues to grow, AFRO WAVE emerges as the perfect anthem for this vibrant movement.
The single, a collaboration between South Africa’s Scorpion Kings (Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa) and the legendary Oskido, features powerful vocals from Tman Xpress and Phila Dloz, along with the iconic Brazilian Bloc-Afro band Olodum. Together, they blend Afrohouse with Amapiano beats and isiZulu lyrics, creating a sound that is both innovative and deeply rooted in African traditions.
AFRO WAVE is the first single off the forthcoming ONE DRUM EP. The EP is produced by legendary producers Oskido and Commissioner Gordon.
ONE DRUM is more than just music; it’s a celebration of the cultural bonds that unite Africa and its diaspora, shaped by our shared history and the enduring legacy of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. The EP resonates with rhythms that have traveled across continents— from the global sounds of Afrobeats and Amapiano, to the vibrant drums of Brazil to the soul-stirring Reggae of the Caribbean.
CANEX Creations Incorporated, an initiative powered by Afrexim Bank’s Creative Africa Nexus (CANEX) programme, is behind the creation of the ONE DRUM EP which was produced by legendary producers Oskido and Commissioner Gordon.
This collaborative masterpiece brings together a diverse array of artists, celebrating Africa’s rich musical heritage and its deep-rooted connections across the diaspora.
