The 3-track EP Executive Produced by award-winning producer, singer and songwriter; Musa Keys, is a true celebration of one of the biggest cultural movements to come out of South Africa and a genre that is sweeping dancefloors and charts across the globe, amapiano. International cultures and music styles come together on the tracks of Mix It Up Vol.3 to embrace the Piano genre – a genre that’s constantly evolving, and champions collaboration and experimentation.
On Mix It Up Vol.3 the infectious rhythms of Piano with standout amapiano producer Nkulee, amapiano Wonder-boy Duppy, and self-proclaimed prince of amapiano Toby Franco, meet the raw US rap of A$AP NAST, the mesmerising lyricism of Nigerian artist Teni, and the distinctive UK Drill tones of Unknown T.
Recorded and produced between Nando’s sponsored Flame Studios on Constitution Hill in Johannesburg and Nando’s Soho recording studio in London, the EP embodies Nando’s brand belief that ‘Life’s Better When You Mix It Up’.
