“The African dance scene is a very powerful one,” South African house legend Zakes Bantwini tells Apple Music. “We are making world-class dance music, and the focus now needs to be developing world-class stages and platforms to showcase the dance music that we create as Africans, year in, year out.” In an exclusive month-long takeover of our Isgubhu playlist, Bantwini gives us a peek backstage—featuring 26 of his favorite hits from Kasango, AWEN, Karyendasoul, Josiah De Disciple, Nandi Madida, and more. “This playlist is a taste into my world and what gets me going,” he explains. “I hope it fuels your productivity!” Hear something that gets you going?
