Major League DJz are on a mission to take amapiano to the world.
Speaking to TshisaLIVE, Banele spoke of the duo's pride in how far they've come in their career.
“It's mainly about taking the South African sound to the world. We are getting international recognition. I feel like the Major League brand is being celebrated more outside South Africa. We've done a lot of cover shoots, bigger shows. Our shows are much bigger outside South Africa.”
While there are controversial conversations on social media regarding the genre, people should focus on celebrating it more to benefit from its success.
“Everybody should be embracing amapiano. It's a South African thing that is really taking over the world. Corporates should be putting big money behind it and every South African should invest in something that could put us on the map. Other countries are riding with it. South Africa should continue riding with it too.”
