Kelvin Momo’s third album, ‘Amukelani’ (2022), enlists the talents of instrumentalists and producers Jay Sax, Sipho Magudulela, Mas Musiq, Yumbs and Loxion Deep, as well as vocalists Nanette, Tyla, MaWhoo, TBO, Chley, Babalwa M and more. The result is a mammoth 26-track exploration of his self-coined ‘yanos subgenre of ‘Private-School Amapiano’.
To celebrate his feature, Kelvin Momo has also created an exclusive Isgubhu playlist that gives listeners a taste of what attending one of his shows would be like.
“When Apple Music called me up about curating the Isgubhu, I wanted the songs to reflect not only what I listen to but the type of songs I play as part of my sets. Think of it as a Kelvin Momo gig in your pocket,” he says.
Launched in early 2021, Isgubhu is the home of African Dance and Electronic music on Apple Music, and spotlights and elevates the work of African Electronic DJs, producers and creatives.
Isgubhu also houses a collection of playlists including Spotlight On–a focus on boutique labels like Soul Candi, House Afrika, Stay True Sounds and Uganda’s Hakuna Kulala & Nyege Nyege Tapes and Isgubhu Voices–a focus on the best Dance and Electronic tracks that feature vocals.
