South Africa’s legendary Afro House duo Black Motion return with their latest single, “Monateng”, released today on all major streaming platforms. The track features the dynamic percussion of Spice Drums and the versatile artistry of longtime collaborator and friend Deejay Buckz, creating a rhythmic journey that speaks to the heart of African dance music.
“Monateng” is a celebration of music, movement, and culture. Sung in SePitori, the vibrant dialect of Pretoria, the track blends Afro House grooves with subtle Latin-inspired rhythms, driven by hypnotic drums, layered percussion, and lively chants - signature elements that have defined Black Motion’s sound for over a decade.
The single arrives at a milestone moment for Black Motion, who are currently nominated for four South African Music Awards (SAMAs):
- Best Collaboration for Takala
- Best Dance Album for The Cradle of Art
- Best Engineered Album for The Cradle of Art
- Best Produced Album for The Cradle of Art
With over a decade of platinum-certified albums, international collaborations, and award- winning performances, Black Motion continue to shape the sound of Afro House in Africa and beyond. On “Monateng”, they combine their signature live instrumentation with Spice Drums’ percussion mastery and Deejay Buckz’s versatile artistry to deliver a track destined for clubs, festivals, and playlists alike.
“Monateng is about joy, connection, and the energy that music brings. It’s an invitation to move together as one,” say Black Motion.
