DJ Maphorisa & Daliwonga South Africa Live in DC at Karma DC Live Music Venue – Washington, DC

South Africa’s DJ Maphorisa and Daliwonga, two of Amapiano’s most iconic trailblazers behind the genre’s global explosion, are set to ignite the stage with a powerhouse live performance — brought to you by Amapiano Sunday, the premier event series from AmapianoDMV, the collective championing the Amapiano sound across the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area.

AmapianoDMV has solidified its role as the epicenter of the genre in the U.S., with Amapiano Sunday evolving into a cultural landmark for music lovers and fans alike. Known for delivering high-energy experiences and curating top-tier talent, AmapianoDMV now brings two of the genre’s most influential architects to the American stage.

DJ Maphorisa is a living legend in South African music. From producing chart-topping hits to shaping the signature sounds of Amapiano, he’s worked with the biggest names across genres — from Wizkid and Kabza De Small to Drake and Major Lazer. With timeless tracks like “Soweto Baby,” “Izolo,” and countless collaborations under Scorpion Kings, Maphorisa fuses kwaito, house, Afrobeats, and log drum mastery into sets that are as unpredictable as they are unforgettable.

Joining him is Daliwonga, the velvet-voiced vocalist and songwriter whose signature melodies have become the soundtrack of Amapiano’s golden era. From “Abo Mvelo” to “Madlozi” and countless anthems alongside Kabza De Small, Mas Musiq, and Maphorisa himself, Daliwonga’s emotive vocals and Mzansi storytelling have made him one of the most beloved voices in the scene. His live presence brings the soul, the swag, and the sing-along moments that define an unforgettable Amapiano night.

This is more than a performance — it’s a cultural moment. DJ Maphorisa and Daliwonga are bringing the full weight of the Amapiano wave to the DMV, and you won’t want to miss the energy, the soul, and the sound that’s redefined global dance floors.
