The 2015 SAMA award-winning duo, Black Motion, started producing music in 2009. Both Thabo Mabogwane (29) and Bongani Mohosana (28) had been dancers and were inspired to create music of their own – music they could dance to.This led to a series of singles produced for DJ compilations before they released their first successful 2010 song, Banane Mavoko. The song would later receive a Metro FM and Channel O award nominations, and also win a Munghana Lonene FM music award for best dance song.To date, the duo released three albums – with their 2014 Fortune Teller album reaching gold status in just one month – and winning a 2015 SAMA award for Best Dance album. On stage the duo makes use of DJ decks (Bongani) and a complete set of African and Latin drums (Thabo). The energy they bring on stage is livened by their dance routines they incorporate into their performances. Off stage black motion are style and fashion enthusiasts who have the same synergy with their look as they do with their performances and recordings.
