Internationally acclaimed South African producer and DJ Caiiro makes a return with the release of his new single ‘ZAYA’, a collaboration with rising Dutch producer Chaleee.
Blending Afro house rhythms with melodic European textures, “ZAYA” is a masterclass in cross-cultural synergy. Driven by hypnotic synths, emotive keys, and a commanding percussive core, the track balances raw energy with deep atmosphere, resulting in a sound that feels both global and timeless.
“This track is about synergy,” says Caiiro. “It captures two worlds coming together rhythm and harmony, African roots and European edge in a way that’s powerful but still soulful.”
The release marks an exciting new chapter in Caiiro’s journey, underscoring his mission to expand Afro house onto the global stage. As his first official single of 2025, “ZAYA” not only signals his evolving sound but also highlights the collaborative spirit that defines the genre’s international growth.
With gold and platinum plaques to his name, Caiiro is fast becoming one of South Africa’s most valuable musical exports. His breakout single “Fela” and acclaimed album Agora solidified his position, while “Ndisize” featuring Ami Faku dominated the music charts for four consecutive weeks.
Beyond chart success, Caiiro’s reputation has grown on the global stage, with performances spanning Miami, London, Paris, and Dubai. His spiritual yet modern take on Afro house has been pivotal in showcasing the creativity and power of South African music to international audiences.
