Focalistic’s Original ‘Ke Star’ And ‘Ke Star’ Remix Reach Major Milestones. Focalistic, aka Pitori Maradona, never ceases to amaze Mzansi. From having a major hit that broke the South African airwaves and being the song of the year, to collaborating with Nigerian Afrobeats star Davido. Foca dropped ‘Ke Star’ featuring Vigro Deep last year, and followed up the song with a remix featuring Davido and Vigro Deep. Both songs have earned recognition and plaques, fully breaking the two SA amapiano stars into fame.
Both the original and remix songs achieved multiple platinum status. Foca took to social media to announce tht his debut single Ke Star and Ke Star Remix, had both gone triple platinum.
The remix for “Ke Star” is hopefully a move that kickstarts Pitori Maradona’s continental dominance. Amapiano as a sound has proven popular in many parts of the continent and some parts of the world. Davido is one non-South African musician who has embraced the sound which can be heard in his latest album A Better Time.
With his home-grown popularity increasing, it is no wonder Focalistc has made a name for himself on the international scene. Recently Ke Star (Remix) featuring Vigro Deep and Davido was declared by TIME Magazine as “one of 2021’s best hits thus far”. In its annual list to honour the best global hits of the year so far, SA’s amapiano flies the flag high. “On this song, two SA stars who have been turbocharging dance floors across their country — the DJ and producer Vigro Deep and the rapper Focalistic — are joined by Nigerian Afrobeats king Davido for a bombastic intercontinental smash,” stated the publication .
