DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small have launched Scorpion Kings Live with Friends, a live music festival.
The concert, set to take place at Loftus Versfeld Stadium on August 29, will showcase amapiano performances with an expected capacity of more than 50,000.
“This is more than just a show. It’s a celebration of where we come from and a declaration of where we are going. Amapiano changed our lives. Now we take it higher,” Kabza De Small said.
“We’ve built something that belongs to us. It’s our sound, our voice, our movement. Scorpion Kings Live with Friends is about unity, culture, power and world-class music. It’s history in the making,” DJ Maphorisa added.
Over the past few years, the amapiano genre has opened up doors for many artists to make a name for themselves within and beyond the borders of Mzansi.
Kabza and Maphorisa have been at the forefront of the movement and their collaboration has grown over time.
“This isn’t just a South African story — it’s an African story, a township story and a global story,” Maphorisa said.
“The world needs to feel it. We are the sound of now. This is our time,” Kabza said.
