South African Amapiano duo Shakes & Les are preparing to give fans more music as they officially announce the release date for their upcoming projects, Groovinhos Kitchen II and Funk Series II. Both projects are scheduled to arrive on November 13, 2026, setting the stage for an exciting month for the production duo.
The announcement comes as the duo continues to build anticipation around their next musical offerings. Known for their contributions to the Amapiano scene, Shakes & Les are now revisiting two of their established project concepts, giving listeners a second instalment of each.
Taking to Instagram, the duo confirmed that the wait was almost over while also revealing that two new singles would arrive ahead of the full projects. They wrote: “The Wait Is Over Bawo & Ifikile Dropping Midnight, Groovinhos kitchen II & Funk Series II dropping 13 Nov. Pre-save & Pre-order Link in Bio.”
According to the announcement, “Bawo” and “Ifikile” are set to drop this Friday at midnight. The two records will serve as the opening releases for the upcoming projects, offering fans an early taste of what Shakes & Les have been working on before the full collections arrive.
The rollout gives supporters something to look forward to in the coming days, with the singles expected to build momentum ahead of the November 13 release. Fans can also access the pre-save and pre-order links shared by the duo through their Instagram bio.
The return of Groovinhos Kitchen and Funk Series is particularly exciting for listeners who have followed the duo’s previous releases. By bringing back both concepts for second instalments, Shakes & Les are continuing projects that already form part of their musical catalogue while creating room for new sounds and collaborations.
With the festive season approaching, the timing of the releases could also give the duo an opportunity to make a strong impression on dance floors and playlists. Amapiano artists and producers traditionally use this period to connect with audiences through fresh music, and Shakes & Les are positioning themselves to be part of that conversation.
As November 13 draws closer, anticipation is building around both projects. For now, fans can look forward to “Bawo” and “Ifikile” arriving first, before Groovinhos Kitchen II and Funk Series II officially make their debut across digital streaming platforms.
