Groove Cartel Presents: Eeque – The Voice Redefining Amapiano

All it took was AshMopedi to tell Leago Moganedi ,better known as Eeque to sing a song for him to show, to show his flexibility as an artist with a versatile lyrical approach and kasi lingo. He personifies kasi and is not afraid to draw inspiration from the greats to interpret it in his unique style. This international vocalist is no one-hit wonder but a significant contributor to the ever-evolving sounds of South African music.

In an engaging interview with AshMopedi , Eeque delved into the spiritual roots of his music. When asked about his journey and the inspiration behind his music, Eeque emphasized the importance of tradition, saying, “Firstly, I believe in tradition, and I don’t take that lightly. With my style, regardless of the vibe I’m going for, it’s just like more of an original South African / African song that actually reminds people that we mustn’t forget our culture.” He elaborated on how African beliefs in spirituality, ancestors, and angels play a vital role in African existence and expressed concern about how today’s generation often overlooks these principles.

The discussion also touched on how TikTok has been a game-changer for Eeque, allowing him to travel the world and reach a global audience. They further explored his “Concrete Jungle” project and his upcoming work. Eeque explained that his forthcoming project would resonate more deeply with people, offering a contrast to the groovy feel of “Concrete Jungle.”
