SHANGAAN ELECTRO

South African Eclectic Music Scene

Year : 2010 - 2014

Shangaan Electro is a dance movement and musical style that originated from a 21st-century revival of local folk traditions in South African townships, blending elements of Tsonga Disco and Kwaito House. This movement has been primarily led by producer Nozinja in recent years, transforming it into an iconic Afro-futurist subgenre of electronic dance music.

Over a three-year period, I documented the Shangaan Electro scene for several publications, culminating in a conceptual video featuring Shangaan Electro pioneer Nozinja, released by Warp Records.
