Kabza De Small continues to break barriers as his Kunye PTA III – Afro Set surpasses one million views on YouTube. The live recording, which premiered on December 26, 2024, has already accumulated 1,154,241 views, proving the unstoppable appeal of the King of Amapiano—even in the Afro House scene.
A Monumental Milestone
The set was recorded live on June 29, 2024, at the National Botanical Gardens in Pretoria as part of the Kunye PTA III event series. While Kabza De Small, born Kabelo Petrus Motha, has long dominated the Amapiano scene, this latest achievement signals his growing influence in the Afro House genre as well.
Known for hits like “Umshove”, which propelled him to international fame in 2018, Kabza De Small has cemented his reputation as a top-tier DJ and producer. He is also one half of Scorpion Kings, a duo he formed with DJ Maphorisa, further solidifying his dominance in South African dance music.
What is Kunye?
The Kunye music event series, founded by Shimza (Ashley Raphala) in 2020, is more than just a party—it’s a movement. Meaning “together” in Xhosa, Kunye is dedicated to celebrating South African culture and music while connecting local artists with global audiences. Over the years, Kunye events have taken place in Johannesburg, Umhlanga (KZN), and even Nairobi, Kenya, showcasing South Africa’s thriving house music scene to the world.
Kabza’s Afro House Takeover?
While Kabza De Small has been at the forefront of Amapiano, his Afro Set at Kunye PTA III has sparked excitement among fans. Many believe this could mark the beginning of his deeper exploration into Afro House, a genre that has already welcomed him with open arms.
As Kunye continues to bridge the gap between South African artists and international audiences, Kabza De Small’s viral set is yet another example of the global power of South African dance music. With over a million views and counting, the world is clearly listening.
