5 Amapiano Artists Who Rocked At The Afro Nation Festival In Portugal. South African amapiano artists were flying the SA flag high at Afro Nation in Portugal, the annual three-day music festival over the weekend. The 2022 edition of Afro Nation brought together the best artists in Afrobeats, hip-hop, RnB, dancehall, amapiano, Afro house and more. The musicians took to social media to share their performances at the weekend.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Banele, one half of Major League DJz, spoke of the duo’s pride in how far they’ve come in their career, being signed to international record label Atlantic Records and being among renowned superstars such as DJ Black Coffee, Wiz Kid, Davido and Burna Boy, who have sold out the O2 stadium in London and won BET accolades.
“It’s mainly about taking the SA sound to the world. We are getting international recognition. I feel like the Major League brand is being celebrated more outside SA. We’ve done a lot of cover shoots, bigger shows. Our shows are much bigger outside SA,” Banele said.
Focalistic, Kamo Mphela, Kabza De Small, DJ Maphorisa, Major League DJz, De Mthuda, Uncle Waffles, Vigro Deep, Young Stunna, Mr JazziQ and DBN Gogo were all billed to perform at the event.
