South African DJ and producer Dlala Thukzin, is poised to make a significant impact on the international music scene as he prepares to headline the upcoming Ama Fest event in the United Kingdom. The event, which celebrates the Amapiano genre that has taken the world by storm, will feature a lineup of some of the biggest names in the genre, including Daliwonga, Murumba Pitch, Kamo Mphela, Black Motion, Leemckrazy, and Musa Keyz.
For Dlala Thukzin, headlining Ama Fest is not just another gig—it’s a monumental achievement in his rapidly rising career. Speaking with TshishaLIVE, the DJ expressed deep gratitude for the opportunity to perform on such a prestigious platform. “It’s a blessing to have come this far. I can only imagine what more God has in store for me,” he said, reflecting on his journey from local fame in South Africa to becoming a recognized figure on the international stage.
Ama Fest is a significant event, highlighting the global reach and influence of Amapiano, a genre that originated in South Africa and has quickly spread worldwide. The festival provides a platform for artists like Dlala Thukzin to showcase their talent to a broader audience.
In addition to his upcoming performance at Ama Fest, Dlala Thukzin is also gearing up for the Dlala Thukzin Weekend, set to take place from September 27 to 29 at the Durban Amphitheatre (North Beach). This event is a major celebration of Durban’s musical talent.
“This event is big, and it was a combination of Durban’s greats coming together and forming this magnificent Dlala Weekend,” Thukzin explained. “Dogg Durban and his FamUs team, as well as myself and my formidable team, we came together and started this thing.”
The Dlala Thukzin Weekend promises to offer fans an unforgettable experience, with the DJ hinting at the possibility of new music on the horizon. “More than anything we’re selling an experience to people and we strive to provide the best. We’re trying to create permanent music, so people should expect an album this year,” he teased, building anticipation for what’s to come.
As Dlala Thukzin continues to break boundaries and expand his reach, his upcoming performances, both at Ama Fest in the UK and the Dlala Thukzin Weekend in Durban, are sure to be highlights in a career that is clearly on an upward trajectory.
