This Heritage Month, Audiomack is celebrating the artists and sounds that give South Africa its distinct musical identity with its Hometown Heroes provincial playlists.
The playlists shine a spotlight on the artists shaping the sound of Limpopo, KwaZulu-Natal and Gauteng, bringing together established names, emerging talent and the diverse genres that have become synonymous with each province.
From Limpopo’s unmistakable sound to the artists carrying it forward, the playlist features hometown favourites including Makhadzi, King Monada, Darque, K-Zaka, Ba Bethe Gaoshazen, CK the DJ, Obiie King, TorQue and Shandesh, among others.
Celebrating the rich musical landscape of KwaZulu-Natal, the playlist moves across Maskandi, Gqom, Afro-pop and contemporary sounds, featuring artists including Mjolisi, Mawhoo, Kelly Khumalo, Jikijiki, Nobuhle, Que DJ, Nomfundo Moh and Q Twins, alongside the newly launched Zulu Queens playlist.
Together, the playlists are a celebration of where South African music comes from, how it sounds, and the artists who continue to push it forward.
As South Africa celebrates Heritage Month, Audiomack is putting the country’s musical diversity front and centre – giving fans a place to discover the hometown heroes they know, and the sounds they may be hearing for the first time.
