Using their skills in uniting blacks, the duo have teamed up with Oskido, Olodum, Tman Xpress & Phila Dlozi for this infectious single ‘Afro Wave.’
‘Afro Wave’ is a track that that blends the Bahia sound offered by Brazilian bang Olodum with Afrohouse and Amapiano beats accompanied with isiZulu lyrics – the result is a track that bridges cultures and genres, while celebrating the rich musical heritage of Africa and its diaspora.

This Upcoming EP also highlights the enduring rhythms and musical traditions that have been carried across continents, from the magical drums of Brazil to the reggae and soul of the Caribbean and the global beats of Afrobeats and Amapiano.
