Welcome to FEMME MAG Listens, a carefully curated playlist we’ve put together for your listening pleasure. Yea, you’re welcome. In this segment, we’re spotlighting the different womxn dominating the South African House music scene. Put together by the sonically gifted Toke Ariyo, it’s a 10-track mashup of the bass-thumping and soulful vocals of the womxn in the music scene. From the iconic Bucie’s “Get Over It” to Boohle’s 6-minute long “Tata”, it’s guaranteed to keep you on your feet for 59 minutes.
Speaking to FEMME MAG about what inspired her selection, Toke Ariyo says, “When womxn do things they do they do them with intention. This is especially true of the South African womxn who make up this playlist. In an industry that often overlooks them, I felt it was important to highlight the passion, energy and range this womxn channel in their work and I hope you’re moved by it like I am.”
