South African muso Vanco is the king of Ibizas party scene with his smash hit Ma Tnsani Yalla Habibi. Thats according to the latest data by Shazam, which identified the top 10 dance songs on the Spanish Mediterranean island for the northern hemisphere summer May 1 to October 1.
Featuring vocalist Aya, the song beat popular tracks by Calvin Harris, Max Dean, Luke Dean, MoBlack and Salif Keta. The 33-year-old DJ and music producer from Douglasdale in northern Johannesburg tells Sowetan what the data means to him.
Im short of words and beyond grateful. When I first saw that list, it felt like a dream. Ive been performing in Ibiza for the past four years at different venues and for different crowds. To see this happen now is something I never imagined. Im truly thankful for the love and support Ive received this summer, from music lovers to DJs whove been pushing the tune.
