Toya Delazy's pioneering fusion of Zulu lyricism with garage, grime, and drum & bass anchors Afrorave, Vol. 1. Beyond just club-ready cuts such as the electro-maskandi "Shakata" and the syncopated "Funani,” which blend South African and English dance-floor impulses, the artist brings an Afro-futurist outlook to the music, which incorporates themes such as mental health, cultural pride, and community.
