Even if the success of Kabza de Small \u2013 originating from the same city of Hammanskraal \u2013 inspires him on a daily basis, Sam Austin Audebe doesn\u2019t seek to imitate his idol. By landing on the scene of an extremely popular genre that has now become mainstream, his music is unlikely to dominate airwaves tomorrow. More raw and direct in his ideas, DJ Black Low presents a more underground, DIY sound signature based on distorted samples and synths.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed-youtube wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"DJ Black Low &amp; Hapas Music feat  DJ KS &amp; Patna - Jaiva Low\" width=\"500\" height=\"281\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/MmsCoJjBT6o?feature=oembed&#038;autoplay=1\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><figcaption> DJ Black Low &amp; Hapas Music feat DJ KS &amp; Patna &#8211; Jaiva Low <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Respecting the codes of the genre \u2013 a flirtation with jazz, afro house and kwaito \u2013 Black Low dares to go against the trend through Uwami, a project that says a lot about his range of ideas. At only 20 years old, the young producer\u2019s taste for improvisation comes through in an unstructured amapiano album that strikes by its spontaneity, even if it comes from commercial house. He surrounds himself with guests such as DJ La Bengwa and DJ Saxo Boy, then with some vocalists who sing in different South African languages such as SePedi, Setswana and\u00a0 isiZulu. He is a rookie who can be counted on to experiment and shake up the minerals of a music that gains more and more popularity over the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The album will be released on March 12, pre-order it <a href=\"https:\/\/djblacklow-southafrica.bandcamp.com\/album\/uwami\">here<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1010\" height=\"1010\" src=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7afac652-a1216996562_10-1010x1010.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-71156\" srcset=\"https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7afac652-a1216996562_10-1010x1010.jpg 1010w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7afac652-a1216996562_10-759x759.jpg 759w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7afac652-a1216996562_10-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7afac652-a1216996562_10-661x661.jpg 661w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7afac652-a1216996562_10-465x465.jpg 465w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7afac652-a1216996562_10-375x375.jpg 375w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7afac652-a1216996562_10-200x200.jpg 200w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7afac652-a1216996562_10-85x85.jpg 85w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7afac652-a1216996562_10-73x73.jpg 73w, https:\/\/pan-african-music-production.fra1.digitaloceanspaces.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/02\/7afac652-a1216996562_10.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"(min-width:1010px) 759px,100vw\" loading=\"lazy\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>After Teno Afrika, the label Awesome Tapes From Africa continues its interest in amapiano with the announcement of a debut album by the young South African DJ Black Low.
