JOSIAH DE DISCIPLE PAYS TRIBUTE TO LEBO MATHOSA WITH AMAPIANO REMIX OF AU DEDE!!!


Lebo Mathosa still reigns supreme as she remains hailed as South Africa’s Queen of Dance. Her legacy as an artist is riddled with highlights of not only remarkable live performances and stage presence, but also impeccable vocals. It has been 16 years since the iconic figure passed away, but she is never forgotten as she left an indelible mark in the hearts of music lovers, young and old alike. After being the lead singer of Boom Shaka, she went on a successful solo career and cemented her presence in both the airwaves and dancefloors. In her memory and the hits she brought us, a few local producers have honoured her memory and musical contributions by embarking on a remix project for her 3 mega hits, Au Dede, I Love Music & Brand New Day.

  

Amapiano titan, Josiah De Disciple, affectionately known as Grootman Ya Namba, who has also released a string of his own bangers, including his latest EP, The Interlude featuring hits such as Amaphupho and Ezizweni, has remixedAu Dede, giving it a laid-back interpretation that would have one excused for thinking the song was entirely brand new because of how well Lebo’s vocals and lyrics fit perfectly into today’s sound. As a hitmaker in dance circles Josiah found it fitting to pay tribute to Lebo in the best way a musician icon can be celebrated and remembered, and that is in song. The track sees Lebo’s vocals being remixed into a whole new Amapiano groove that was crafted to perfection for today’s party scene or chill sessions.

 

 Due to the modernization of music consumption through digital formatting, such projects are aimed at ensuring that South African music catalogue remains accessible as opposed to the era of physical records when valuable music would fade into oblivion due to loss, damage or going out of print. As we celebrate and commemorate the legend that is Lebo, there is no better way to carry her legacy forward than by keeping her voice echoing in our spaces, even though the everchanging sonic landscape. The brand new Lebo Mathosa EP is titled Forever and will not only feature remixes but also digitally remastered original versions of the remixed hits.
