"Together, they bridge the gap between two powerful musical worlds, seamlessly blending the beats and rhythms of Amapiano with the raw energy of Gqom."

2Faced might have brought out the energy in their first performance at Macufe in Bloemfontein.

2Faced fuses Gqom and Amapiano

For some time now, ever since Amapiano came into popularity not only locally but internationally, many argued that it has caused other genres in SA to lose their flavour. Namely Hip Hop and Gqom/Kwaito.

Durbanites know the powerhouse that is Slenda, who calls Afrotainment home, and with the help of Thuli P, they breathe life into the genres in a very unique and entertaining way.

"Prepare to be enticed by this unique experience where two genres unite on stage, creating a mesmerizing musical fusion. @2faced_sa invites you to embrace the duality of sound and embark on a musical journey like no other."
