Nakhane Touré’s "Almost Acapella" Version of 'We Dance Again' Proves He’s South Africa’s Best Singer

In 2015, Black Coffee and South African singer and author Nakhane Touré set off a worldwide dance craze with their collaboration and accompanying challenge for “We Dance Again.” The single appeared on the South African producer’s award-winning fifth full-length album, Pieces Of Me, which got a worldwide release last month via Ultra Music.


Aside from being incredibly catchy, it’s also a really beautiful song. This becomes all the more clear with one stream of Touré’s latest spin on the track.

Yesterday, the singer uploaded what he’s calling an "almost acapella" version. It definitely takes things up a notch, giving the song an otherworldly, uplifting new feel. The end result is nothing short of astounding.
