Tyla, the dynamic South African musician, is gearing up for her highly anticipated tour, and she’s bringing some homegrown talent along for the ride. The “Water” hitmaker recently revealed her desire to showcase the unique dance skills of South Africans when she finally hits the stage.
In an interview, Tyla expressed her excitement about the upcoming tour and her decision to incorporate South African dancers into her performances. She emphasized the special connection that native South Africans have with dance and the vibrant energy they bring to the stage. According to Tyla, there’s a distinct rhythm and infectiousness that comes from being immersed in South African culture, particularly the culture of Amapiano and its accompanying dance styles.
“When I say ‘I want South African dancers,’ I want South African dancers!” Tyla exclaimed. “Obviously, people are learning the dance moves, but it’s different. When you’re born in South Africa and immersed in the culture, the culture of Amapiano and the dancing – there’s a different rhythm that you have.”
“It’s just so infectious when we perform, and I really want people to feel that when they come to my show. I want people to feel the energy come off the stage.”
