South African music has reached a global scale, thanks to big artists introducing their international audiences to their local artists.

TikTok also played a major role in the success of Mzansi music, especially the Amapiano sound.

American man amazed by South African gospel song

Jordan Josephson was melted by his Mzansi neighbours' incredible music taste. He had to fight his strong urge to walk over to their doorstep to ask for the track’s title.

Josephson turned to TikTok to hopefully get help from his internet besties. He mentioned that his neighbours were South African, which helped him locate Mzansi people who flocked to his comments section.
