Scorpion Kings fly SA flag high in London during Piano People in the Park Festival

After successfully hosting exhilarating events in Miami and New York, dropping the ball was not an option for the Piano People in the Park event organisers. The highly anticipated event brought the spirit of amapiano across oceans and mountains for the people of London to experience.

The Scorpion Kings, a DJ duo made up of maestros Dj Maphorisa and Kabza de Small, were accompanied by some of South Africa’s biggest amapiano names to deliver what can only be described as a monumental performance that set the streets of Southwark Park into a buzz. “Piano People is all about expanding the global footprint of Amapiano & continuing to further deliver something truly unique and culturally important to an audience that has been traditionally under-served,” explains the event’s website.

After the Louis Vuitton store reportedly closed down to allow the Scorpion Kings to browse and shop comfortably, the duo had no choice but to bring the people an unforgettable performance engraved in their memories for a long time.

Before dancing along to one of the greatest duos, attendees were treated to a few performances by Oskido, MaWhoo, Young Stunna and Nkosazana Daughter, who performed their fan-favourite collaborations with Dj Maphorisa and Kabza De Small. The popular Uncool MC was also in attendance, hyping up the crowd, and helping them sing along to their favourite songs.

Attendees took to their social media with raving reviews about the event, praising the performers and DJ for giving them an unforgettable experience.

As the headliners, the Scorpion Kings have played a pivotal role in opening doors for the rest of the amapiano industry. They have exposed those who come after them to a world of opportunities, and for that, they will always be remembered as South African legends.
