It's a sizzling party vibe with the entire crowd singing and dancing in unison.

The amapiano song playing in the background is an unreleased song called “Adiwele” by Kabza De Small and Young Stunna.

Major League DJs have been teasing the song relentlessly over the last few weeks during their tour of Europe.

Uncle Waffles' original Twitter video has clocked over 3 million views since it was posted on her account two days ago, spawning several other video posts with thousands of views.

She's since been featured on several international platforms, including the popular Link Up TV and Complex UK.

Social media users from across the world have been responding to the viral video, lauding South Africa for its vibrant party scene.

As the video started to go viral on Sunday morning, Instagram users noticed that she'd received a following from Canadian pop star Drake, further amplifying the hype.

She's since gained over 50 000 followers in the past 24 hours across Twitter and Instagram.

Fans are hopeful that Drake will jump on and co-sign the amapiano wave.
