The Grammy Award-winning DJ Black Coffee hosted what seems to be have been very successful event.
Real name Nkosinathi Innocent Maphumulo, Black Cofeee made history this past weekend as the first South African to headline at the Madison Square Garden in New York. Taking to the stage at the 20,000-seat capacity venue in the Big Apple, the KwaZulu-Natal-born star proved that he is in the major leagues now.
Included on his line-up were the Major League DJs, Busisiwe Nolubabalo Nqwiliso aka Bucie, Msaki, and others. Also there to support the muso were music producer Oskido and podcaster MacG.
While playing at Madison Square Garden, Black Coffee rocked custom-made outfit and he explained just what was so special about it.
Breaking it down, the international DJ said: “This one was for the culture… This is such an important piece. I am literally carrying my people to Madison Square Garden. The piece has three women; one Zulu woman, and two Xhosa women. The one in the middle is younger, that being my mother… I wanted to preserve the history of our family,”
The Drive hitmaker’s custom-made garment was created by Mike Amiri. The designer is appreciative of having been part of Black Coffee’s historic night.
