Amapiano pioneer DJ Stokie prepares to unveil his long-awaited fifth studio album, “Shandu KaNdaba”, a powerful blend of heritage, emotion, and musical mastery. Known as one of the founding architects of Amapiano, Stokie once again showcases his ability to craft music that connects generations – merging ancestral rhythm with the modern sound of South Africa’s streets. The project reflects his evolution as both a producer and storyteller, rooted in authenticity, reflection, and timeless groove.

As a build-up to the full release, DJ Stokie drops his brand-new single “Sowenza Rongo”, featuring LeeMcKrazy and TMan Xpress. This energetic and vibrant track sets the tone for what’s to come – filled with deep log drums, captivating vocals, and the unmistakable warmth that defines Stokie’s touch. It’s a glimpse into the spirit of Shandu KaNdaba – a balance between celebration, rhythm, and soul.

The album also features collaborations with some of Amapiano’s most talented voices, including Zain SA, DJ Nnana, Neo Soul, Eemoh, and Sipho Magudulela. Each brings a unique texture and emotional layer to the project – from heartfelt vocal performances to deeply spiritual tones – offering listeners a taste of the rich, soulful soundscape that defines Stokie’s latest body of work.

With Shandu KaNdaba, DJ Stokie continues to shape the sound of Amapiano while paying tribute to his lineage and city. It’s more than an album; it’s a reflection of legacy, love, and the musical spirit that connects past and present.
