Spring is here, and so is the season’s soundtrack.

From Amapiano bangers to Afrobeats and Latin House grooves, these tracks bring energy, emotion and movement to every moment.

Whether for dancing, running or relaxing, this playlist sets the tone for the season. 

“Biri Marung remix”, featuring Sje Konka, Focalistic, DJ Maphorisa, Scotts Maphuma, CowBoii and Davido

Originally a local hit, “Biri Marung” has grown into a global phenomenon. The remix now features multi-Grammy-nominated Afrobeats star Davido. 

Ego Slimflow, one of the artists behind the song, said, “The reception from the world has been incredible. Sometimes we doubt how powerful music really is, but this journey has been a blessing and a reminder of its impact.”

“Tambora” by Faul & Wad Ad

This Latin House track features Spanish innovators MËSTIZA and Colombian vocalist Martina Camargo.

Released jointly on Virgin Records and Tomorrowland Music, the song blends Spanish guitar and shuffling drums.

Its rhythm and percussion reflect both the emotional struggles of life and the ancestral Tambora tradition from the Afro-Colombian Caribbean.

“Cash Flow” by Young Jonn, featuring Wizkid

Afrobeats producer Young Jonn, also known as Jiggy, returns with “Cash Flow”, an anthem about ambition, success and lifestyle.

Jonn said, “It’s about the grind, the rewards and the vibe of knowing you’ve earned your place. Linking up with Wizkid brings Lagos energy to the world.”

The track is part of his upcoming LP, “Blue Disco”, which combines introspection and movement, mood and dance.

“Holy Water” by Ntokzin, Kabza De Small, De Mthuda, featuring LeeMckrazy and Nvcho

Ntokzin joins forces with Amapiano artists Kabza De Small, De Mthuda, LeeMckrazy and Nvcho for “Holy Water”.

Ntokzin said, “This song is a testament to the magic when we all get in the studio together. Working with Kabza, De Mthuda, LeeMckrazy, and Nvcho was a spiritual experience.” 

“Tebogo Mahange” by Lex LaFoy

Durban rapper Lex LaFoy released a single designed for running.

LaFoy started running while on tour in Germany in 2014 and wanted a beat for her running content.

She said, “I named this song after Tebogo Mahange, founder of the biggest social running club in SA. His movement and ethos inspire me.”

“Nthabiseng” by Flash Cortez, featuring Romeo ThaGreatwhite

This track tells the story of a young girl who becomes a victim of human trafficking. Flash Cortez said, “This song is more than music – it’s a story that needs to be told. I want people to reflect on society’s impact on the vulnerable and confront human trafficking.”

“Stars & Constellations” by Yashna International, featuring Kuhle Nsele and Kyle Deutsch

Produced by Neo Ndawo, this pop love song is easy to listen to and perfect for spring and summer days.

Yashna International said, “I have spent eight months curating an Amapiano project that I am confident will satisfy my fans. ‘Stars & Constellations’ is a palate cleanser before the full project later this year.”
