Skaiva & DJ Cy & Softman & Ranter - African Dance (feat. Softman) (Ranter Remix)

We African's love to dance we see it as the ultimate form of expression, were born with rhythm. Skaiva hailing from Zimbabwe certainly has music in his bones and has created this Afro House gem as a ode to how we Africans love to dance .

The Original mix features an infectious guitar riff which compliments Softman vocals perfectly, sung in Shona the vocals are extremely catchy . Both CY and Softman are established artist in their homeland who have been instrumental in pushing the Zimbabwe house scene.
On remix duty we have The Ranter based in SA his remix is Afro Tech at its finest. Stripped to the bone with a thumping grimey synth taking centre stage, add to this haunting rising strings and the obligatory wood block all blended together perfectly.
Next up is a new Afrocentric artist by the name of DJ Cider SA a self taught Dj & Producer, he provides a more percussive mix with spine tingling bells and heavy!!! hand claps,to take the original in a completely different direction
