Maphorisa Urges Shimza To Play Amapiano On His International Tour. With amapiano being the biggest genre in South Africa at the moment right now, one of it pioneers Maphorisa is working on growing the sound even more and introducing it to a wider audience.
Maphorisa has once again asked Shimza to play the South African sound internationally. This comes after Shimza shared on his socials that he is on his way to his international tours both in France and Portugal. “o dlale piano da danko,” he retweeted Shimza’ post. See tweet:
This mark as Maphorisa’s second attempt to asking Shimza to play amapiano at his international gigs. The first time, the Scorpion King kindly asked the popular DJs Shimza, Heavy K and DJ Black Coffee to play Amapiano music in their sets. Even though they are not Amapiano DJs, their impact in the industry is so massive that them playing the songs will elevate the genre. “I wish Shimza, Heavy K le Bo Black Coffee badlale amapiano (could play Amapiano). It will mean a lot for the movement ya amapiano,” he wrote on Facebook.
Heavy K first responded by saying his 10 years in the industry allows him to be flexible and experiment with other sounds. Even though he can handle Amapiano and House music, he wants to try out other things. “Me I can handle both House and Amapiano, Porry. It marks 10 years of Heavy K this year and I’ll be introducing my other production strong points. It’s necessary for me. To my day-one fans, I’ll never leave you behind but allow me to experiment,” he replied.
DJ Shimza on the other hand said it does not seem right for all of them to be doing the same thing because their goals are not set out the same. “We can’t all do the same thing because we all have different goals and paths in our careers, ma brother. You guys are doing perfectly fine without us and it’s amazing to watch from the outside! Keep going! We here to support.”
