DJ Mujava- The current pinnacle of African house music.

Dj Mujava- "Township Funk"


From Pretoria, South Africa Mujava got his break when taxi drivers, who for the most part act as independent grassroots music distributors, had heard him play on community radio and decided to rep his music in their taxis. His the single posted above, released in October 2008, launched him out of South Africa and into the UK house scene. This track should be noted a prime example of Kwaito. This South African music genera is based on house music beats, but typically at a slower tempo and containing melodic and percussive African samples which are looped creating almost a hypnotic resonance, deep basslines and often vocals shouted or chanted rather than rapped.

I'm really digging this song right now... check out the music video for the song here to see some dancing and the crazyness that is Dj Mujava.
