DJ Maphorisa To Introduce African Sound To The US

DJ and Music producer Themba Sekowe popularly known as DJ Maphorisa will be part of the upcoming One Africa Music Festival that will take place in New York this weekend where he will be introducing the fresh and new African Sound to the audience. The DJ was interviewed by TshisaLive where he said that he’s always honored to represent South and African Sound “It is always an honour to represent South Africa and Africa when I travel to places outside of the continent. It’s cool to play to audiences that may have never heard this kind of music. Like gqom for example: When you play it they have no idea what they’re hearing but they can’t help but move to it,” Maphorisa said.

Other local star expectd to represent SA in the festival is Cassper Nyovest. Maphorisa is famous for his great work in music, he has won himself a number of awards and has worked with other big international artists lone of them being Drake. He said that playing overseas was an exciting experience that constantly blew his mind.”The audiences are just different (to those in South Africa). People in the diaspora and outside of the continent are very interested in African sounds. It’s really cool to see so many people show so much love and passion for what we’re doing.”

The DJ will also be part of the upcoming Spring Jump Off Musical event which is set to take place on the 17th of September at the Mahungra car wash in Bloemfontein. Tickets can bought at Computicket.
