Phakama Records is an independent label championing the rise of Afro House and Amapiano. Phakama — meaning rise — is both our name and our mission: to elevate authentic, boundary-breaking music that pulses with rhythm, soul, and intention.

Rooted in African sonic traditions and driven by future-facing production, Phakama is a home for artists who honour the dancefloor while pushing it forward. Each release is a full artistic statement — from the music to the cover design — telling stories that resonate across borders.

We are more than a label. We are a movement for elevation, rooted in sound.
