If you are a regular TikTok user, you will most likely have heard about the Tshwala Bam dance challenge that has TikTokkers dancing up a storm worldwide.
The South African amapiano song played in the videos for this dance craze is Tshwala Bam by TitoM and Yuppe, featuring S.N.E & EeQue. The song was released this year and has already reached over 7.7 million streams on Spotify.
According to News24, “the challenge took flight after a clever individual set the infectious Tshwala Bami song to a video from the @ama_quality_boys TikTok account, showcasing three young men flawlessly executing synchronised moves with their necks, heads, and shoulders.” This video currently has 4.6 million views.
Celebrities, including American singer-songwriter Jason Derulo and iconic dancers The Les Twins, have blown up on social media. This particular video has been viewed a massive 57 million times. YouTuber (with 5.4 million subscribers) and online streamer Kai Cenat has also tried his hand at this dance challenge.
Let’s not forget the many South African celebs who have also posted their versions on TikTok, including Cassper Nyovest and some of his friends. There are even videos showcasing how participants from various countries’ dance moves compare in the Tshwala Bam dance challenge!
This trend is not slowing down, and we look forward to seeing many more incredible (and hilarious) renditions of this craze while it lasts.
