The development of South African house has given an enormous boost to the local music scene, making it a popular export in neighbouring countries like Zimbabwe, Botswana and Namibia – where local producers have also added their own twist to the sound. In South Africa, house music keeps evolving and has made a name for itself on the international scene.
Music In Africa has compiled a dynamic playlist list of the top SA house songs of 2021, in no particular order. The playlist also includes songs that were released late last year and are still trending in 2021. The playlist will grow as the year progresses, so make sure you bookmark it for your continuous listening pleasure.
