More About The Artist
The Blawa Mafiozo
''The Blawa Mafioso is a dance music label and production unit/stable based in Port Elizabeth, South Africa. It is comprised of ……… The name Blawa is a name commonly referred to call New Brighton, A Port Elizabeth township where we come from.
The idea behind the label is to expose and unearth the musical talent of our township in New Brighton. We came to the realization that Port Elizabeth and in fact the whole Eastern Cape region is in relative obscurity as far as the South African music industry is concerned and felt that this was partly because there isn’t a dance music label dedicated to our region despite it being the birthplace for renowned artists like Sizwe Zako, Ntando, MXO, Zonke and many other talented musicians.
What sets us apart is that is that we are willing and able to keep our ear on the streets and nurture talent from the streets of eBlawa and we won’t compromise our love for the streets for commercial gain. We offer the listener kwaito, deep house, techno/electro house and hip hop. We draw our musical influences a diverse range of producers both locally and internationally such as Don Laka, Spikiri, MDU, DR DRE, Jazzy Jeff, DJ Rasoul, Julien Jabre and other 90`s dance music pioneers. Therefore we are able to be diverse because we realize there are only two kinds of music, good and bad, and we respect the township because you get different musical urban cultures all happening in one township and that enables our ears to appreciate all kinds of music.
