Emerging South African superstars Major League Djz and Major Lazer unveil the video for, ‘Ke Shy’ today, shot in South Africa and featuring vocalist Tyla and Major League Djz. Additionally, the remix of the track by English producer and DJ Joy Orbison debuted yesterday via Benji B at BBC Radio 1.
“Ke Shy,” which also features South African artists LuuDaDeejay and Yumbs, is taken from Major League Djz and Major Lazer’s collaborative amapiano album Piano Republik featuring Ty Dolla $ign, Channel Tres, Nigerian stars Joeboy and Tiwa Savage, DJ Maphorisa and more.
The BET-nominated amapiano duo Major League Djz—twin brothers Bandile and Banele Mbere—have quickly risen to international visibility as stars of the South African dance music scene, serving as pioneers of the genre and de facto global ambassadors with hits like “Bakwa Lah” and “Dinaledi.” Since the release of their critically acclaimed album from 2021, Outside, they have gone on to break the world record for the longest DJ set performed by a duo, performing for 75 hours for a special edition of their Balcony Mix Xperience.
Last year, they performed at Coachella alongside Black Coffee and sold-out a headline show at the O2 Academy Brixton. This summer, Major League Djz will be the first amapiano act to debut a massive London residency at new venue HERE at Outernet, playing and curating exciting lineups every Saturday in June. With fans and supporters including TEMS, Burna Boy, Honey Dijon, Jorja Smith, Rema, Asake, Stefflon Don and Jayda G regularly attending their parties in South Africa, Ghana and beyond, they’re now poised to take the world by storm.
