What started as a local Amapiano banger has become a global sensation. The national anthem “Biri Marung’ has now entered a new era with its smashing remix featuring multi-Grammy-nominated Afrobeats star Davido.
With 33 million streams, 8 weeks at No.1 on the BMAT Chart, and 25 consecutive weeks in the Top 30, Biri Marung has already proven its global impact.
On TikTok alone, the song has inspired over 4.2 million videos and racked up 5.6 billion views, becoming one of the most viral Amapiano hits to date. With 2.7 million Shazams, the world isn’t just dancing, it’s still searching for it.
“The reception has been incredible,” says Ego Slimflow. “This journey is a blessing and proof of music’s true power.”
Bringing together the best of South African Amapiano and Nigerian Afrobeats, the remix with Davido elevates the track to higher levels.
