South Africa’s legendary Afro House duo Black Motion return with their latest single Monateng released 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 and Best Produced Album for The Cradle of Art.
Adding to the excitement, Black Motion will host their flagship event Friends of Black Motion (FOBM) on 20 September 2025 at The Lion & Safari Park, Johannesburg. The event promises an authentic celebration of music, culture, and community, bringing fans closer to the duo’s energy and creativity.
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,” says the duo.
