Dlala Thukzin, the prodigious talent hailing from Lamontville, a township on the South Coast of Durban, is gearing up to captivate American audiences with his distinctive beats and infectious energy.
The young DJ and producer, renowned for his contributions to the Gqom genre, is embarking on a highly anticipated tour across the United States, promising to bring the pulse of South African music to new heights.
