Nkosinathi Maphumulo more affectionately known as Black Coffee is taking over the world one DJ set at a time. From sold-out sets at Coachella to Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards nominations, it’s safe to say that Black Coffee is killing it in the music scene and waving that South African flag high for us. But his latest venture has us very excited here at GLAMOUR because it involves two things that we absolutely adore – music AND fashion! Yes, Mr Black Coffee himself has landed a gig with the new artistic director for Louis Vuitton Virgil Abloh. The DJ has actively shown their friendship on his Twitter feed earlier this month, even referring to Virgil as his “bro”. AWWW

But the two creative geniuses have decided to collaborate on pop-up parties all around the world (South Africa included) where they will be throwing killer parties as well as spinning the decks side by side. They have said that the aim of these parties is not only to have a good time but to also bring people together from all sides of the earth through good music.
We know these parties are bound to be a success because we all know Black Coffee attracts a big enough crowd when he’s playing by himself, throw someone like Virgil Abloh in the mix and they are set to bring the house down!
