The Scorpion Kings take on a monumental task by remixing Caiphus Semenya’s legendary track “Matswale,” and the result is nothing short of iconic. By bridging South Africa’s rich musical heritage with the modern amapiano wave, Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa show their respect for tradition while also reimagining it for today’s audience.
Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa recently appeared on Lalelani featuring Zaba, Njelic and Dlala Thukzin.
The remix maintains the essence of Caiphus Semenya’s original, keeping its soul-stirring melodic core intact, while layering it with the Scorpion Kings’ signature amapiano elements — deep log drums, textured synths, and hypnotic progression. The balance is carefully struck so that the legacy of Semenya’s timeless artistry shines through, while the updated beat structure makes it ready for contemporary dance floors.
This remix is more than just a song; it’s a cultural conversation between generations — where the roots of South African music meet the genre that has become its global ambassador. For fans, it’s both nostalgic and refreshing, paying homage while breathing new life into a classic.
