Amatycooler – Ngakuthanda

South African music group Amatycooler presents “Ngakuthanda,” a dance track released on August 1, 2026, that showcases high-energy Gqom sounds.

The song reflects the group’s distinctive style within South African dance music, characterized by strong rhythms, catchy chants, and dynamic electronic production.

The title “Ngakuthanda,” which means “I Loved You” in isiZulu, pairs an emotional theme with a lively Gqom base. It features rapid drum patterns, deep basslines, and engaging call-and-response vocals, creating an atmosphere suitable for dancing and celebrations.

This release is part of their upcoming Tycooler Movement project and gained pre-release attention after dance rehearsal videos became popular on TikTok. This buzz generated choreography challenges among Gqom dance communities in South Africa, increasing the song’s visibility.

With its compelling groove and cultural significance, “Ngakuthanda” adds to the growing Gqom movement in South Africa.
