The fresh Black Label is present, the youth enjoy themselves imitating Pantsula dances, the minibus taxis are out,\u00a0<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">and football is everywhere. The track itself is a tribute to Thembinkosi Lorch, a local hero and player for the Orlando Pirates;\u00a0a club which is adored by the inhabitants of the Orlando neighbourhood in Alexandra. Also appearing in the video is SA rap star Cassper Nyovest, always ready to impress the crowd\u00a0with high-speed dance sequences.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">DJ Maphorisa began his career in the 2010&#8217;s, having crossed over to lead the waves of kwaito, afro-house, gqom and many others. Highly respected in the African electronic music scene, he has collaborated with giants of the music industry (Wizkid, Black Coffee, Drake, Major Lazer&#8230;). Kabza de Small,\u00a0who started making music\u00a0during the same period, is considered one of the pioneers of the amapiano genre, which is currently\u00a0thriving in South Africa. The two Pretoria DJs have teamed up on four projects, including &#8220;The Return of Scorpion Kings&#8221;, from which &#8220;Lorch&#8221; is taken. The track brings together Miano, Semi Tee and Kammu Dee, three emerging Amapiano artists.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-38877\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/a628def7-lorch-dj-maphorisa-.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"1300\" height=\"925\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/a628def7-lorch-dj-maphorisa-.jpg 1300w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/a628def7-lorch-dj-maphorisa--759x540.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/a628def7-lorch-dj-maphorisa--1010x719.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/a628def7-lorch-dj-maphorisa--661x470.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/a628def7-lorch-dj-maphorisa--465x331.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/a628def7-lorch-dj-maphorisa--375x267.jpg 375w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The two amapiano bosses finally unveil the visuals for\u00a0one of South Africa&#8217;s biggest current bangers.
