The new release by Bantu is Jackie Chan. The music video is an upbeat Afro swing track that features his frequent collaborator and friend Dr. Chaii, who also is from Zimbabwe. The two teamed up together for this feel-good track – a nice introduction for what else is to come on EP2!
This winter Bantu is gearing up for the release of his second EP, Africa for the Summer 2, a continuation of his signature tribal, upbeat, and rhythmic sound. Just a Little, his first single from his latest EP has already gained traction and is currently featured in the Netflix hit series On My Block, as well as being featured on Apples Breaking Pop and Global Pop Playlists. Bantu premiered his first track as an artist in 2016 with his single Holiday, an uptempo love song that fused bright electronic club sounds with African rhythms.
The Zimbabwean’s music and visuals reflect his multicultural background with a collage of infectious sounds, rhythms, and stories. Since then he released his first EP Africa for the Summer in 2017, including a single Roll With Me.
Pop productions
In addition to his own projects, he has produced and written for some of the world’s biggest artists. His credits include Jason Derulo’s single Tip Toe featuring French Montana which hit #5 on the UK charts; Whiskey by Maroon 5 featuring A$AP Rocky on their new album Red Pill Blues; Hey Ma by J Balvin, Camila Cabello and Pitbull from The Fast and Furious 8 Soundtrack that was also nominated for a Latin Grammy this past year; Say My Name by Tove Styrke; Getting Over You by LAUV, and past cuts with Rita Ora and Chris Brown.
All in all, Bantu is able to take his fresh unique sounds and integrate them into his pop productions. Bantu’s goal through his music is to uplift and bring people of all backgrounds together.
