DJ Black Coffee brings unique house blend to summer festivals
- 9 years ago
Nkosinathi Innocent Maphumulo, the artist otherwise known as Black Coffee, is a shining star on South Africa’s dance scene.
The award-winning record producer and DJ started his career at around the same time that the new South Africa was born.
Twenty-one years and four albums later, he has brought his special blend of home-brewed house to festivals around the world, like Barcelona’s recent Sónar Festival, where he kept crowds up dancing all night.
“Black Coffee is a music producer, a DJ, an entertainer really who’s always been interested in music from an early age,” he told euronews. “When I was young in school, after school, everywhere, I mean until I finished high school and I went to study music, I was involved in choirs, classical music, anything that had to do with music I was first in line, basically.”
Black Coffee’s sets deliver soulful house, vocal passages, sizzling percussion and live remixes using loops along with all kinds of sonic trickery.
