Meanwhile, the Recording Academy celebrated Pabi Cooper as one of the 11 women of Amapiano.
“Hailing from South Africa’s administrative capital Pretoria, Pabi broke out as a 21-year-old with the party-starting “Isphithiphithi,” a hit produced by Busta 929 in 2021.”
“2022’s “Banyana Ke Bafana” was a widely popular hit, propelled by irresistible verses from the Pritori trifecta of Pabi, vocalist Ch’cco, and rapper Focalistic. Her debut EP, Cooperville, introduced audiences to a vast world of her making, with soulful numbers like “MAMA,” alongside more street-centric jams like “Waga Bietjie” and “Angeke.”
“Today, Cooper has solidified herself as a symbol of youth power, mesmerizing South African crowds through her concert series Cooper FC and snagging a BET nomination in 2023 for Best New International Act. She also carries her hometown on her back wherever she goes; last year saw her release “Jukulyn” alongside Pretoria’s Jelly Babie, a track dedicated to a township of the same name and rooted in the city’s bouncy, infectious sound bacardi.”
