L’vovo Jumps Into Amapiano With New Single . L Vovo Derrango’s real name Thokozani Ndlovu was born in Newcastle KZN. He started schooling at Sphumelele Primary and matriculated in Khanyanjalo High School went to further studies at Durban University of Technology and enrolled as a fulltime student studying for a National Diploma in Language Practice.
The legendary Kwazulu-Natal based artist L’vovo Derango has now decided to release a record flexing his own take on amapiano.He is still in recovery from the stroke he suffered last year but now feels the time is right to reprise his career in music.“I didn’t decide to switch. I make music and so I can play any kind of music. If you listen to amapiano, it’s the same as kwaito. I just felt like doing something different as I have been quiet for a long time,” the 43-year-old told News24.
He said amapiano and kwaito are very similar. “If you pay attention to the way they write music, the flow, it’s kwaito. I don’t see why I should be worried; I mean I did gqom as well, so.”L’vovo felt inspired by the amapiano movement as a whole and he is proud of what this fraternity of artists have managed to do with this music.
“All the amapiano artists are doing a great job. I can’t single out just one as they have taken it to a global level. It’s a group of them invading other countries with their talent.”
