Producers Fisherman and Dlala Thukzin have joined forces with the iconic Professor and emerging talent Sykes to create a Gqom masterpiece titled Shikisha. With its infectious energy and high-octane beats, Shikisha is a dance anthem that captures the vibrant spirit of South African nightlife and party culture.
Darque, Kabza De Small, Dlala Thukzin recently appeared on Nkosi featuring Sino Msolo.
The word Shikisha, meaning “shake” in Zulu, perfectly encapsulates the track’s intent. From the first beat, the song propels listeners into motion with its electrifying rhythm and commanding bassline. Gqom, a genre known for its stripped-down intensity and raw energy, finds its quintessential expression in this track. Dlala Thukzin’s expertise in crafting magnetic beats is evident, while Fisherman brings a distinct sonic signature that enriches the song’s texture.
Adding to the track’s dynamic sound are the vocal performances of Professor and Sykes. Professor, a veteran in the South African music scene, lends his charismatic delivery and lyrical prowess, grounding the song with his signature style. Sykes, on the other hand, brings a fresh and youthful energy, creating a perfect balance between experience and innovation. Together, the artists create a synergy that is both captivating and invigorating.
Beyond its technical brilliance, Shikisha is also a celebration of collaboration. It bridges generational and stylistic gaps, showcasing the power of South African music to bring people together. This track isn’t just for the dance floor—it’s a cultural statement, a reminder of the richness and diversity of Gqom as a genre.
Whether it’s at a party, a club, or simply through your headphones, Shikisha delivers an unforgettable experience. It’s a testament to the creativity and resilience of South African artists who continue to innovate and redefine the boundaries of music.
