Speaking on the colaboration with Scorpion Kings and venturing into amapiano, Tresor said: “This particular album is special for me because it represents a bold statement of pride in the diversity of our culture as Africans, embracing the rich musical landscape of our home. We went back to the source and tapped into sounds from all over the continent for this album.”
“Rumble in the Jungle is a sonic roar, a cultural bridge breaking all barriers and bringing our people together through music. We are fusing the incredible South African rhythm of amapiano with Swahili, French and Congolese sounds and melodies, as well as West African chants with Afrobeats elements. It’s boldly authentic, unapologetic, energetic and raw,” Tresor added.
DJ Maphorisa said: “This album is a gift to Africa. We are bringing the amapiano sound to the continent. We loved working on it and are excited for Africa and the world to hear it.”
