Shakes & Les – Tribal Bells ft. Royal Musiq & Djy Biza is a rich and immersive Amapiano track that highlights the genre’s ability to connect ancestral sounds with modern-day grooves. The title “Tribal Bells” perfectly captures the essence of the song — a hypnotic, percussion-driven piece layered with melodic bell tones that give it both a spiritual and celebratory character.
Shakes, Les and Rishbeats recently appeared on Ekse Huzet featuring Malemon, Tumilemang and Shakaman YKTV.
Shakes & Les lay the foundation with their signature hard-hitting log drums, rolling percussions, and evolving textures, creating a steady rhythm that drives the track forward with undeniable dancefloor energy. The bell elements, which carry a tribal and almost ceremonial feel, give the song its identity, adding a layer of mysticism and cultural depth.
Royal Musiq contributes with smooth chord progressions and atmospheric layers that soften the harder edges of the production, bringing balance between intensity and musicality. Meanwhile, Djy Biza injects youthful energy with clever rhythmic variations, making the track unpredictable yet captivating. Together, the collaboration feels like a perfect blend of raw street groove and refined artistry.
The track’s progression is gradual but powerful: it starts with minimal percussions and bell accents before opening into a full-bodied groove where each artist’s influence becomes clear. By the time the log drums take center stage, “Tribal Bells” feels like both a ritual of rhythm and a celebration of culture, making it equally at home in township streets, lounges, and festival stages.
Overall, “Tribal Bells” is more than just a dance track — it’s a spiritual soundscape that merges tradition with modern Amapiano innovation. With its hypnotic bells, layered drums, and collaborative brilliance, it captures the deep soul of the genre while ensuring its place as a crowd-moving anthem.
