Kabza wants to make history

Phori and Kabza have cemented their names as pioneers in the genre. Now, they announced a music festival, which will unite 50,000 yanos lovers from all over the country.

After announcing the much-anticipated concert, Kabza called on his friend to help him make history. "Let's make history, my boy," Kabza hyped.

They also pride themselves on being gamechangers, with Kabza saying, "This is more than a show, it is a celebration of where we come from. It is a declaration of where we are going. Amapiano changed our lives. Now, we take it higher. The world needs to feel it. We are the sound of now. This is our time."

Phori, on the other hand, wants to unite the genre by making world-class music instead of unnecessary division.

"We have built something that belongs to us. It is our sound, our voice, our movement. It is about unity, culture, power and world-class music. It is history in the making. This is not just a South African story. It is an African story, a township story and a global story."
