South Africa’s favourite DJ brought the beats of the rainbow nation to California, performing at one of the world’s biggest music festivals, Coachella. Locals couldn’t have been more proud of Uncle Waffles’ moment!
California, USA (17 April, 2023) — South African musicians and artists don’t just understand the global assignment—they’re acing it. From Lloyiso getting his own billboard in New York’s Times Square, to Micaela Kleinsmith winning a global country music competition, the Rainbow Nation’s musicians mean business. And, spinning her way into hearts around the world is the queen of SA beats, Uncle Waffles, who recently brought all the heat to Coachella in California.
Sharing festival status with the likes of Glastonbury, Coachella is no gather-around-the-fire, sing-along session.
Earning a spot on the Coachella stage along with some of the biggest names in music (Frank Ocean, Bad Bunny, Gorillaz, Metro Boomin, Calvin Harris, you get the picture) is a massive vision board moment for any artist. And, DJ Uncle Waffle’s recently joined the artists who have checked Coachella off their ‘to dream’ lists; making locals groove with pride back home.
Lungelihle Zwane (Uncle Waffles) is an Amapiano princess originally from Eswatini. Her superpower? Her music and the ability to get any crowd up on their feet no matter where in the world she is.
With millions of fans and supporters in South Africa, her moment in the Coachella spotlight naturally saw a wave of love and pride rushing in for Waffles:
