He studied Advanced Music Production at the Soul Candi Institute of Music and drew early inspiration from Black Coffee and DJ Kent. He rose to prominence with the 2021 number-one single "Osama" (with Grammy winner Zakes Bantwini), which charted for 12 consecutive weeks and earned BBC Radio 1 Essential New Tune support from Pete Tong. His catalogue is almost entirely collaborative (31 of 32 releases with other artists, including Shimza, Hyenah, Joezi, Maesic and AR/CO) and he has performed on every continent, making him a textbook producer-for-others in afro house and afro tech. ![Kasango](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb08faa46da03ce1a1de05e35e) KASANGO Portrait · 2023–PRESENT ▸ VERIFIED STREAMS 160.592.556 TOTAL · 161M 21 DAYS · Total Releases 20 Years active 2023–PRESENT This week · ▲ 1% · 234K/day Streams this week +1.635.392 161M TOTAL Best day +9.5M Jul 10 Spotify +1.6M 100% OF TOTAL · 7D YouTube — 0% OF TOTAL · 7D SoundCloud — 0% OF TOTAL · 7D FASTEST GROWING Fire Fire ▲ 1.1% Waya ▲ 1% A.I.E. ▲ 2.6% Collaborators · ![Kasango](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb08faa46da03ce1a1de05e35e) Kasango 25 tracks · 160.6M ![Shimza](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb862839c5ea94dd2c76fe2dcd) Shimza 2 tracks · 149.4M ![AR/CO](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb6898a67deb8d51e11949faaf) AR/CO 2 tracks · 149.4M ![Zakes Bantwini](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5ebf14637d4a70f0054b0d35063) Zakes Bantwini 2 tracks · 4.2M ![Claptone](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5ebf8bbaf81da9d83a9a186715e) Claptone 2 tracks · 4.2M ![Chris Arna](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb9cdb9cc5f09a4bd0eb3d7793) Chris Arna 3 tracks · 2.4M ![Voodoochild](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb38245e558b744502ea6ad608) Voodoochild 1 track · 2.3M ![Kasango](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb08faa46da03ce1a1de05e35e) Kasango 25 tracks · 160.6M ![Shimza](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb862839c5ea94dd2c76fe2dcd) Shimza 2 tracks · 149.4M ![AR/CO](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb6898a67deb8d51e11949faaf) AR/CO 2 tracks · 149.4M ![Zakes Bantwini](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5ebf14637d4a70f0054b0d35063) Zakes Bantwini 2 tracks · 4.2M ![Claptone](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5ebf8bbaf81da9d83a9a186715e) Claptone 2 tracks · 4.2M ![Chris Arna](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb9cdb9cc5f09a4bd0eb3d7793) Chris Arna 3 tracks · 2.4M ![Voodoochild](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb38245e558b744502ea6ad608) Voodoochild 1 track · 2.3M ![Eran Hersh](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb5656b5e12809fc28d5dcf9c9) Eran Hersh 1 track · 791.9K ![Benji](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb9513c340685639fa8e15bb57) Benji 1 track · 777.2K ![Kryptic (UK)](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5ebeec91e61788a10b7744a9343) Kryptic (UK) 1 track · 777.2K ![Shayan](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5ebcf40bfc75972cb62aa7aae02) Shayan 1 track · 777.2K ![Dennis Ferrer](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb32bb268d7a099f3024ba2909) Dennis Ferrer 2 tracks · 683.2K ![Danil Wright](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b27388010050580bc6e919ceecce) Danil Wright 2 tracks · 683.2K ![Maesic](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5ebdfc1659c5e3d94985e490241) Maesic 1 track · 612.7K ![Eran Hersh](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb5656b5e12809fc28d5dcf9c9) Eran Hersh 1 track · 791.9K ![Benji](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb9513c340685639fa8e15bb57) Benji 1 track · 777.2K ![Kryptic (UK)](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5ebeec91e61788a10b7744a9343) Kryptic (UK) 1 track · 777.2K ![Shayan](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5ebcf40bfc75972cb62aa7aae02) Shayan 1 track · 777.2K ![Dennis Ferrer](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5eb32bb268d7a099f3024ba2909) Dennis Ferrer 2 tracks · 683.2K ![Danil Wright](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab67616d0000b27388010050580bc6e919ceecce) Danil Wright 2 tracks · 683.2K ![Maesic](https://i.scdn.co/image/ab6761610000e5ebdfc1659c5e3d94985e490241) Maesic 1 track · 612.7K Trending this week · 5 climbing Last records broken · 8 milestones Top tracks · Ranked by streams · 10 ▸ Curatorial ## OBRA BY KASANGO 20 RELEASES ROLE ### 2026 2 releases ### 2025 5 releases ### 2024 7 releases ### 2023 6 releases Catalog · Notes · Curatorial Bio Kasmario Thulani Ike Fankis, known as Kasango, is a South African DJ and record producer from Welkom, Free State, and one of the leading names in the global Afro House movement.
