South Africa’s genre-bending artist, Doowap, kicks off the year with a high-energy single, ‘Shay’sthombe’. Featuring the Bacardi legend Enny Man Da Guitar and lyricists Ok.Mulaa and Don Tella, this track captures the vibrant spirit of the Bacardi genre and showcases the exciting future of South African music.
Produced by Enny Man Da Guitar, Shay’sthombe is an innovative fusion of beats and melodies inspired by the diverse sounds of South Africa. Enny Man Da Guitar explains,
“Bacardi is growing fast, like Amapiano, but with its own tempo and unique dance moves.”
Ok.Mulaa reflects, “The song is all about embracing the joy of letting go. I drew inspiration from losing myself on the dance floor, finding freedom in the beat, and capturing those electric live party vibes.” Don Tella adds a layer of lifestyle storytelling with his verse, saying, “Shay’sthombe is inspired by the club lifestyle— popping bottles, drawing attention, and creating moments that make people envious of your energy and vibe. It’s groovy, energizing, and makes you want to move.”
Doowap’s vision for Shay’sthombe is to highlight Bacardi as the next big wave in South African music. She shares, “This song is a first look into the dynamic and exciting music I’ve been crafting. It’s rooted in the rich culture and energy South Africa has to offer and sets the tone for what’s to come this year.”
Shay’sthombe is more than a song; it’s a celebration of South Africa’s creativity and the Bacardi genre’s undeniable energy.
