In honour of Heritage Month, Deezer, the world’s most personal music streaming service is launching a special dedicated channel to celebrate the sounds that have defined South Africa from the past to the present. The new channel includes a variety of curated playlists, featuring specific genres and artists that are culturally relevant for South Africans.
Starting now until the end of September, music fans can re-live the most iconic music from the last three decades featuring Mafikizolo, Brenda Fassie, Oskido and Teargas or discover fresh sounds from the artists that are making an impact today such as Sho Madjozi, Prince Kaybee, Nasty C and Shekhinah. Deezer’s ‘Celebrate Heritage Channel’ offers something special for just about everyone with playlists including; SA’s Greatest Hits, SA House Classics, Essential SA Jazz and Gospel Gold.
Sotiris Moldovanos, Music Editor for Africa at Deezer commented: “Music has always played an important role in South African history and culture, and we want to recognise and celebrate its significance throughout the years with a dedicated channel that we know our local music fans will love and appreciate.”
So, whether you’re planning to fire up a braai, kick back and relax or ‘sokkie’ the night away, let us provide all the music you need to jump start the festivities with ‘Celebrate Heritage Month’ on Deezer.
Celebrate Heritage Month channel is available from September 2- 30th, and can be found in the ‘Explore’’ page, or through ‘Sounds of our Heritage’ on the homepage.
