Deep London Reveals How ‘Hamba Wena’ Hit Single Changed His Life. Musician and producer Lita Kupelo popularly known as Deep London believes both his recently-released singles have been well received by his fans and vows to produce an EP (Extended Play) for the festive season.His first single, Hamba Wena (You go) was released in July before his new hit Piano Ngijabulise (Piano make me happy) on September 23.
The musician got his big break through his hit amapiano song, Hamba Wena featuring Buhlebevangeli Manyathi, professionally known as Boohle.“That song was inspired by my journey on how I moved from doing deep house to amapiano genre, because when I started back in the day in 2013, I was producing mainly deep house music.“It is my first amapiano song and the reception really overwhelmed me. My dream has always been about making people happy so when I came up with something that makes people appreciate music because it is a universal language, it was fulfilling for me.”
I am so grateful really because when I see our elderly people doing those dance challenges every time the song plays or on social media, it really touches me. The young ones also which seems cute, it is just saying to me that indeed hard work pays off.”
Kupelo celebrated his 29th birthday on October 13 and is known for his famous house soundscapes, soulful house grooves and afro house and has now ventured into amapiano.“[Amapiano] is a new wave in the South African music industry and the whole continent is receiving it well. It is the sound for everyone and it brings joy to kids, teenagers and adults. I dedicated Piano Ngijabulise to all the [amapiano] lovers and how we connect through it. All I want to do is to show every young artist and dreamer out there that the dream is possible to achieve, the imagination can be reality.”
