Omagoqa

Durban, South Africa

Omagoqa - a trio creating new wave gqom with the intention to always let the masses feel the indigenous authenticity of sound. Their music showcases a version of gqom coined as ‘uThayela’, which translates literally as “corrugated iron” and is used to describe “a rougher sound with a harder bassline that it is made for clubs”. It's a proud testament to a love of South African creativity and music. The group is made up of Andile Mazibuko (stage name Ma_A), Franco Makhathini (stage name KB) and Njabulo Sibiya (stage name Chase).

The trio has been together for over 7 years and are a collaborative team that have worked alongside the likes of DJ Lag, Que DJ , Zvri, Jimbo Soundz, Cultivated Soulz, Scelo Gowane, Madanon & Newlands Finest. Omagoqa plays a raw sound, it can be aggressive and dark, but there isn’t a moment when the crowd isn’t giving it all back. They pull elements from EDM , Electronic & Dance/House to bring their unique music to life.
