The coronavirus pandemic has silenced many artists, but South Africa s house music pioneer, Nkosinathi Maphumulo, popularly known as DJ Black Coffee, has been rocking it dropping an album and creating a streaming platform.
The legendary DJ released his sixth album, the first in five years, a few weeks before his 45th birthday.
As the pandemic hit the pause button on live music performances and pushed many in the gig industry to the brink, the township-born musician-turned-house star was navigating between composing a new album, creating his own streaming music service and philanthropy work.
On February 5, he delivered a 12-track album titled Subconsciously featuring an eclectic mix of local and international artists including American singer Pharrell Williams, French DJ David Guetta, Australian musician RY X and South Africa s Msaki.
