Dj Oskido and Tamara Dey have come up with a Rugby World Cup anthem that will get the country twerking behind the Bokke. Habashwe: Let's do this, that combines electro and house elements, is the official soundtrack for the SABC's Rugby World Cup campaign.It was produced by Oskido and DJ Maphorisa and features the vocals of Tamara Dey and rap segments by Stoan Seate and Professor.Oskido said he wanted to create something that was "current" and which would incorporate a variety of sounds unique to South Africa's music culture."Music is an art form that talks to different people. This song is important. Now it's just for us to unite behind the Boks," he said.Oskido was also behind the 2011 Rugby World Cup hit It's Our Game .SABC presenter Minnie Dlamini also made a guest appearance in the video that was shot yesterday on a rooftop in Braamfontein.Dey said that having grown up watching rugby she felt with the country's support the team could bring home the trophy."Rugby in the past has been seen as a white sport but it's not, it's our sport as South Africans, and it's our guys."..
