Maskandi has always been loved, but rarely given space. For decades, this proudly South African genre has been pushed to the margins – heard mainly in taxi ranks, on campuses, at shisanyamas and taverns. Yet for its fans, Maskandi is more than music: it’s identity, healing, and celebration.

This is where Spotify stepped in. By opening up the genre to stream anytime, anywhere, we gave Maskandi lovers the freedom to take their soundtrack with them – uninterrupted. Whether navigating heartbreak, welcoming a child into the world, or tying the knot, Maskandi is now always within reach.

With Spotify, the sound of Maskandi is no longer confined. It’s carried everywhere – proudly, loudly, endlessly.
