Amapiano gets ‘go live’ thumbs up
AMAPIANO has taken Mzansi by storm and DJ Maphorisa thinks it might be time for a live show after the genre took over dancefloors across the country.
The Lorch hitmaker took to his Twitter page on Saturday, hinting that he and Kabza de Small were toying with the idea of doing a live show following the success of their three albums, Scorpion King, Piano Hub and Return of the Scorpion Kings.
The caption read: “Scorpion Kings are thinking of doing a Live Show with 10k people at SunArena? should we do it?”
Tweeps quickly responded to the Nana Thula producer, telling him to set the date as they were ready to buy tickets already.
“What do you even mean? We are yours, Phori,” tweeted @della_legodi.
“Do a festival (amapiano fest) You’ve got the numbers. Amapiano is the biggest genre in the country. Giant stadium is where it should be held; one time for Sosha,” commented @FikaShongwe.
“It would be lit. You guys did well. The least we can do is support,” added @ka_madesi.
“Do it! I believe you can’t even doubt that. Hope CPT will experience this as well,” wrote @noss_myeki.
“Ons is daar,” added @ThisIsLetso_S.
“Hamba no Maphorisa do it,” commented @Juba_Da_Dove.
This comes after the Twitterverse dissed the now hit song Phoyisa of the producing duo in the last week of December.
The song came about after a video went viral of Qwesta Kufet jamming to an amapiano track, with DJ Maphorisa asking tweeps to find him a project to jump on a track.
In the video, Qwesta is at an unknown entry way and is jiving to an amapiano song and is heard shouting “phoyisa”, “hamba no Maphorisa” and “vula fustek”.
Move For Me rapper Cassper Nyovest initially said he wasn’t going to send his verse for the song after an outcry from amapiano fans for DJ Maphorisa to release the song without it.
However, the Vula Vala producer ignored the hate and released the song with Nyovest on it.
