Bello no Gallo, a name resonating with the vibrant rhythms of Gqom, is a musical outfit that has been stirring the South African music scene with their pulsating electronic beats and cultural echoes. Emerging as torchbearers of the genre, which originated from the Durban townships, they have steadily climbed the ranks to become one of the modern ambassadors of this dance music revolution. Their sound is characterized by its hypnotic, heavy basslines and syncopated, fragmented percussion that compels movement and embodies the street party spirit.
Their works, such as the ambitious "Gqom To Another Level, Vol.1," demonstrate a commitment to both maintaining and innovating within their genre. Collaborations with notable artists like Okmalumkoolkat on "Kyashibilika" and DJ Tira on "Ey'Ntabeni" showcase their ability to blend traditional influences with modern, urban vibes, thus bringing gqom to a wider audience. With tracks like "Imali Iyagezana," featuring TDK Macassette and QUE DJ, and the magnetic singles "Khula" as well as "Khula (feat. Niseni)," Bello no Gallo keeps the spirit of Durban's dancefloors alive and kicking. Their music not only celebrates the current South African soundscape but also contributes to its ongoing evolution.
