Following successful events in Miami and New York, the organizers of the Piano People in the Park festival aimed to maintain their high standards for the London event. The much-anticipated festival brought the vibrant energy of amapiano music across continents, allowing Londoners to experience this unique South African sound.
The Scorpion Kings, a DJ duo consisting of the talented Dj Maphorisa and Kabza de Small, were joined by some of the biggest names in South African amapiano music to deliver a performance that electrified the streets of Southwark Park. “Piano People is all about expanding the global footprint of Amapiano & continuing to further deliver something truly unique and culturally important to an audience that has been traditionally under-served,” states the event’s website.
In a show of VIP treatment, the Louis Vuitton store reportedly closed its doors to the public so the Scorpion Kings could shop in privacy before the festival. With this exclusive experience, the duo was set to deliver an unforgettable performance that would leave a lasting impression.
Before the main act took the stage, festival-goers enjoyed performances from Oskido, MaWhoo, Young Stunna, and Nkosazana Daughter, who showcased their fan-favorite collaborations with Dj Maphorisa and Kabza De Small. The event also featured the popular Uncool MC, who energized the crowd and led sing-alongs to their favorite tracks.
Attendees took to social media to rave about the event, praising the performers and DJs for delivering an unforgettable experience.
As headliners, the Scorpion Kings have been instrumental in opening doors for the broader amapiano genre. Their efforts have exposed future artists to a wealth of opportunities, solidifying their legacy as South African music legends.
