Aperol Spritz, the iconic Italian aperitif synonymous with life’s most joyful moments, has partnered with Langa Mavuso for his brand-new single, Best Friend. Langa’s soulful voice and meaningful lyrics perfectly capture the spirit of celebration that defines Aperol Spritz—while simultaneously capturing the country's heart too.

Known for his evocative voice and personal lyrics, Langa has quickly become one of South Africa’s fastest rising stars. His songs, which explore themes of love, heartache, and self-discovery, invite listeners to connect with their own experiences. As a brand all about creating memories that last, the partnership with Aperol Spritz is a natural fit. 

“Langa’s music is all about connection, which is at the heart of what Aperol Spritz represents,” says Busisiwe Moyi, Brand Specialist on Aperol Spritz. “We wanted to collaborate with an artist who embodies the spirit of togetherness, and Langa’s new single Best Friend does exactly that. It’s a song that reminds us all of the importance of those special relationships in our lives—the ones that make every moment brighter.”

The music video features Langa on a date where he surprises his partner by taking her to a carnival—a place she’s always dreamed of visiting. Together, they sneak in after hours, share an evening full of fun and laughter, and, of course, sip on refreshing Aperol Spritz cocktails. The video perfectly captures the brand’s celebration of life’s spontaneous and joyful moments, creating a feel-good vibe that’s impossible to resist.

To celebrate the partnership and release of the single, Aperol Spritz and Langa hosted an exclusive games night at Cracker Zac’s at The Zone@Rosebank. Langa invited some of his closest friends for an evening of fun, where they enjoyed the thrill of arcade games while sipping on Aperol Spritz. Fans also had the chance to win their way into the gathering through a social media competition.

Whether it’s a casual get-together or an all-out celebration, Aperol Spritz turns ordinary moments into extraordinary experiences. Follow the brand on Instagram or Facebook to keep up with competitions and upcoming events.
