The German collective drops a new single with the dancer and singer, an interesting German take on South African club music.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

Freak de l\u2019Afrique is a collective of DJs, MCs, dancers and event managers with a common passion for Africa’s modern club sounds. The group already has two Afro-house singles to its credit: \u201cMama Eh\u201d and \u201cAkom\u201d, released respectively in 2017 and 2018, which ended up being remixed by some of the continent\u2019s most respected DJs and producers (Gafacci<\/a> from Ghana, DJ Satelite<\/a> from Angola\u2026). Following the United Kingdom and more recently France, it seems like Germany is now finally turning its ears towards South Africa with \u201cYebo\u201d, the crew\u2019s take on amapiano.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With a bilingual topping of German and Tswana, the track might be the first time the South African club genre is produced in Berlin. To make it happen, Freak brought its very own DJ Nomi on the microphone, joined by South African dancer and singer Lindi. The two artists call and respond in true Mzansi style : \u201cCan you feel it?\u201d, \u201cYeeboo\u201d (\u201cyes\u201d), with Nomi raising the bar with some German adlibs (\u201cMacht Mal L\u00e4rm\u201d – \u201cMake some noise!\u201d). The track also has a certain Afropop vibe to it, with short guitar sequences and an overall joyful and chilled atmosphere we can\u2019t wait to experience at the collective\u2019s parties. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Active since 2012, Freak de l\u2019Afrique started through events at the notorious Cookies nightclub, convinced that Berlin, usually associated with techno, could also fall in love with pan-African electronic sounds. Over the years, more and more members joined the group, which has started to play gigs on national and international scale in Europe and Africa. Today, Freak de l\u2019Afrique hosts some of Germany’s biggest club nights, such as Cirque de l\u2019Afrique, Black Paper, Bantu\u2019s Diary and The Afro House Xperience.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
