His smash hit single ‘Osama’ is one of the biggest dance songs to come out of Mzansi this year and fans have been waiting with baited breath for Zakes Bantwini to drop his highly-anticipated new album ‘Ghetto King’. Now, the album is here – and it’s everything we hoped it would be.
The album solidifies Zakes Bantwini as the ‘King of Dance’ with features from rising talent; Eastern Cape born producer and DJ Karyendasoul, as well as KwaZulu-Natal born singer-songwriter Nana Atta on Abantu, a song which has received a great reception. Multi award-winning recording artist Amanda Black lends her voice to the rhythmic track Bawo.
Another young talent, Skye Wanda showcases her soothing voice on Girl In The Mirror, while Mthunzi, composer and producer, sings melodically in Kumnyama. Fans can also enjoy the Radio chart topping ‘Osama’ on the 11-track album.
“Music is a language everyone can understand. With this album we go on a sensory exploration through the different sounds and voices featured on the project. It’s a journey in search of truth, in search of perspective. The African sound is merging with a more electronic sound to bring an AfroTech House experience to music lovers,” Zakes tells us.
The album has already made a solid debut on local streaming charts and is expected to be the soundtrack to many summer parties around the country.
