1. Konke and Musa Keys: ‘Kancane’
One of the most in-demand amapiano musicians right now is Musa Keys. Along with touring the globe, he most recently caught Lewis Hamilton's attention last week when the Formula One driver posted a reel including Selema, last year's breakout hit (Pop Po).
2. Felo Le Tee: ‘Manca’ (ft. Toss)
Felo Le Tee, a producer and DJ, with the aura of a rap star. He is flashy, dressed like an ATL trapper, and enjoys a nice joint, as his big hit "Dipatje Tsa Felo" made abundantly evident. For the catchy vocals on Manca, Felo turns to Toss, a rookie with a deep voice. In this scene, Toss gives one of the best performances of his quickly advancing career. The vocabulary, atmosphere, and spirit. It is the pinnacle of amapiano.
3. Kabza De Small: Eningi (ft. Mhaw Keys, Simmy and Njelic)
As is customary for amapiano, 'Eningi' has been a huge hit for a long time before amapiano pioneer Kabza De Small included it on his excellent new album, KOA II Pt. This song has the sense of a worship song with a logdrum because of Njelic's relatable refrain, "weSomandla ngiceli ungiphi mali eningi" (God please grant me a lot of money).
Before Kabza finishes the song with a mesmerizing log drum sequence, Afropop artist Simmy's haunting vocals transform it into a really otherworldly listening experience. fakaza music
4. Kamo Mphela: ‘Ghost’ (ft. Daliwonga and Felo Le Tee)
When Kamo Mphela released "Ghost," she was in need of a big song. While she was frequently touring and giving performances throughout the continent and in Europe, her fans had been deprived of any new songs due to the star's silence during the year.
With "Ghost," her most innovative and artistic release to date, she duly delivered. The single's overall appeal is enhanced by the perfect, "Thriller"-inspired music video that was made by Nape Phasha.
5. Daliwonga: ‘Abo Mvelo’ (ft. Mellow & Sleazy and MJ)
The arrival of "Abo Mvelo" was like a wrecking ball. The South African vocalist Daliwonga shared a teaser clip of the song on his social media, and by the time it was officially released, it had gone viral and was a regular part of club DJ sets at amapiano clubs. The amapiano DJ combo Mellow & Sleazy, who have been on a roll all year, came through swinging with this seductive groove and a customarily thumping log drum. Their most recent song, "Chipi Ke Chipi," could have easily been included as well.
