I recently listened to Yebo Lapho (Gogo) by Felo Le Tee, Scotts Maphuma, Thabza Tee, DJ Maphorisa, and Djy Biza, and it’s a solid addition to the Amapiano industry. “Yebo Lapho” roughly mean to “Yes, there” in English, a phrase that’s repeated to create a vibrant and catchy hook. The beat is energetic, staying true to the Amapiano genre, known for its upbeat tempo and groovy basslines. This track keeps the pace engaging, making it easy to see why it’s popular on streaming platforms and even sparking the “Yebo Lapho challenge” on social media.
The lyrics mix Zulu phrases with popular slang, centering around enjoying life’s luxuries and sharing moments with friends. Lines like “Ngithi woza la wena eye candy” (loosely, “Come here, eye candy”) and “Ngizokbonisa ama bank” (“I’ll show you the money”) create a playful vibe. The lyrics don’t aim for deep meaning, but the energy they bring matches the song’s club-friendly style.
For Amapiano fans, “Yebo Lapho” is likely to become a favorite. If you’re looking for a song to set the mood or keep a party going, I think this track really does the job. The collaborative effort here strengthens the genre’s growing influence, showing how Amapiano’s sound can keep evolving without losing its core feel.
