MFR Souls have made a comeback with another banger,The platinum-selling duo hailing from Katlehong, Johannesburg, who have claimed to be the creators of the amapiano genre, have also started recording a joint EP with Kabza De Small and are on a quest to shake the music scene.
“We are trying to bring back the old piano sound. Amapiano started with no vocals. It was just instruments and keys, so we are trying to bring back that feel,” Tumelo told TshisaLIVE.The amapiano genre has become a global success, topping music charts, and for the duo seeing many new producers and DJs come after them and succeed internationally has been a joy.
“Amapiano was one of the genres whereby if you were really hungry, it was the fastest way to secure the bag. In that sense, we ended up having many producers which has happened before,” he told TshisaLIVE. “The dream that we had came true for us ... now it's an international thing. I think the subgenres that came after amapiano are the ones that helped boost it. It's something that has been happening for years We can only do things up to a certain level. A fresher mind a fresher talent comes into place and produces something new right now.”
