‘We finally found the perfect song’ — Ami Faku excited about collabo with DJ Black Coffee

Grammy award-winner DJ Black Coffee and Ami Faku have collaborated with Gallo Remixed to create an Afropop remix of  There’s Music In The Air.

The song was originally recorded, written, produced and performed in 1976 by Letta Mbulu and Caiphus Semenya.

In a statement shared with TshisaLIVE, the musicians said they were excited to work together. 

“I'm super excited for the release of this song. I have always wanted to work with Black Coffee and we finally found the perfect song and I hope people receive it well,” said Ami.

“This remix is one that I hold close to my heart as it represents so much of the struggle, perseverance and courage that my country has always put forth. We've taken our roots and splashed a modern spin. I'm excited for this to be released for the world's ears,” shared producer Black Coffee.  

At the beginning of the month Ami teased her followers about releasing a song with DJ Black Coffee.

The singer had fans anticipating her collaboration with the award-winning DJ after she shared moments from her studio time with Black Coffee on her timeline.

“Spent some time in the studio with Black Coffee. Excited to share this special project with you,” she captioned her post on Instagram. 

The song is available on streaming platforms. 

Last year musician Mpho Sebina, alongside three other artists, was picked by Gallo Records to work on the first Gallo remixed EP titled Music is Forever.

She chose Brenda Fassie’s Too Late for Mama, originally composed and written by Sello “Chicco” Twala.

The EP was executive produced by DJ Black Coffee, and Mpho said it was a great experience to be exposed to creative minds in the industry.

“Working with Black Coffee and the team was quite an experience, a learnt one because there were so many creatives minds in the project and we had to find a way to work together to make the project come alive."
