A Pre-Durban July Sonic Explosion
Afrotainment and the Scorpion Kings are setting the tone for the biggest weekend in Mzansi’s entertainment calendar with a powerful new release. Dropping Friday, July 4th — just a day before the Durban July — ZASHA arrives as a genre-defying anthem set to dominate dance floors and street corners alike.
A Historic Collaboration Across Genres
Spearheaded by Gqom trailblazer DJ Tira and the genre-shaping duo of Amapiano royalty, DJ Maphorisa and Kabza De Small, ZASHA is not just a song — it’s a cultural moment. The trio is joined by an all-star cast featuring Leehleza, Uncool MC, Dladla Mshunqisi, Captain, and Campmasters, making the track a melting pot of South African sounds.
Gqom Meets Amapiano Meets 2-Step
ZASHA thrives on its fearless fusion of Gqom’s gritty basslines, Amapiano’s melodic rhythm, and the slick cadence of 2-Step and dance music. The result is an electrifying anthem that blends lyrical fire with hypnotic production — a sonic journey through the best of SA’s music culture.
An Anthem for Unity & Street Culture
More than just a party-starter, ZASHA is a call for unity in South Africa’s evolving music scene. The single breaks boundaries while celebrating every element that makes African music globally admired — energy, rhythm, soul, and authenticity.
A Track That Redefines the Sound of Now
“Gqom is the heart, but the pulse comes from everywhere,”
says DJ Tira. ZASHA proves that when different styles come together, they don’t have to dilute — they can elevate. As the Durban July weekend kicks off, this anthem is already being hailed as the track that will soundtrack the celebration.
