South African Amapiano duo TxC hands over their fan-favourite “Nakupenda – I Love You” to Vigro Deep for a massive remix treatment, =
The original “Nakupenda” already had a strong foundation before any remix conversations began. The Swahili title meaning I love you gave the record an East African emotional warmth that resonated across multiple markets. So when the decision was made to bring in Vigro Deep for the remix, the question was never whether the song could handle it – it was about who belonged alongside it.
Vigro Deep is one of the most trusted remix architects in South African Amapiano. His ability to reimagine a record without stripping out what made it connect in the first place has made him a consistent choice when producers want to give their music a second life. His touch on this remix keeps the emotional core of the original intact while building a wider, more layered sonic space around it.
The addition of Davido and Zlatan is where the remix becomes a cross-continental moment. Davido has always had a natural relationship with East African musical language — his catalogue is full of Swahili and Kiswahili-influenced records that connect deeply across the continent. Zlatan brings that unmistakable Lagos street energy alongside him. Scotts Maphuma, Shoday, and Al Xapo round out a lineup that covers South Africa, Nigeria, and beyond in a single record.
This remix is not just a new version of a song. It is a statement about how far Amapiano’s reach has grown when the right names decide to move together.
This stirring Amapiano banger will get you dancing as soon as you press play.
