Shimza Celebrates SA Roots On ‘Sunset In Pretoria EP’
Shimza just delivered a love letter to home, and it came wrapped in rich Afro-house production. The South African powerhouse has released Sunset in Pretoria, a three-track EP via his KUNYE imprint.
Sunset In Pretoria Captures The Spirit Of Home
The project captures the emotion and beauty of South Africa through cinematic production. Title track Sunset in Pretoria, a collaboration with producer Demaya, opens the EP with warm atmospheric textures. However, the song slowly unfolds into an uplifting Afro house journey rather than staying static.
On Uma Wami, Shimza teams up with South African talents Jnr SA and Thatohatsi for a soulful, vocal-driven record. Meanwhile, the track balances emotional warmth with genuine dancefloor energy. Additionally, closing track “Entle” delivers the project’s emotional peak through expressive vocals and slow-building instrumentation.
A Continued Celebration Of South African Sound
Across its three tracks, Sunset in Pretoria blends Afro House, Afro Tech, and melodic influences into one cohesive body of work. Notably, the EP arrives through KUNYE, the label Shimza founded to champion African electronic music globally. Born in Tembisa, Shimza has performed at festivals including Tomorrowland, Ultra, and Cercle.
With this project, he once again shows why he remains one of Afro House’s most compelling voices. Furthermore, the EP reinforces his commitment to staying rooted in South African identity even while touring the world. AfrobeatsGlobal recommends this one for a slow, sunset-appropriate listen.
