Maphorisa Reacts To Being Called The Landlord Of SA Music. DJ Maphorisa real name Themba Sekowe is one of the most recognised amapiano producer and vocalist. The star has been in the music industry for decades now and he has mastering his craft till now.
Maphorisa has been quite open about being honoured and given his flowers while he still can, especially when it comes to music mastering. A fan recently did exactly that, and Phori was impressed about that while influencing his fans to do so more. See post:
Speaking on what motivated him to invest in amapiano, Maphorisa said he liked the fact that the sound was South African and there was more he could do with it. “With my gigs, I wanted to understand people’s reactions to this new sound because amapiano was underground. What really sparked my interest in the genre was that, at the time, I was looking to get into something that originated in South Africa. Amapiano is part of kwaito and dance music. When I started working with Afrobeats, which hails from Western Africa, I felt that we didn’t have a sound that strongly represented South Africa. When I started paying close attention to amapiano, I knew that this was a sound that would take South Africa to the world. There’s a lot that you can do with amapiano — you can make it soulful, funky, dusty and hard or jazz it up,” he said.
The DJ and producer recently jetted off to Dubai as he was set to perform at the 2020 Dubai Expo, joining many other biggest SA stars who were in attendance at the event. DJ Maphorisa has been sharing snippets from his ‘workcation’ while he’s away and when he’s not showcasing the work he does, whether it be him in studio with Dali Wonga or on the red carpet, he’s been sharing how he’s spending his hard earned cash.From going shopping at Prada to getting iced with Cartier jewellery, DJ Maphorisa is living the dream. The DJ shared a video of him counting stacks of cash when he was allegedly purchasing a Love Bracelet with four diamonds worth R161,914,04 and a Juste Un Clou bracelet worth R109,424,93.
