Naak is the Afro house project of Anga Makubalo, a singer-songwriter from South Africa now based in Johannesburg. Known for over a decade as an award-winning vocalist and actor, he built his name across the South African pop and R&B scene before turning fully toward dance music. Rather than follow the amapiano wave, he leaned into Afro house, drawing on the tradition of Black Coffee and the genre's global reach to keep his sound rooted in African rhythm while speaking to international floors. His recent work, including the single Noba Yintoni, pairs earthy, percussive Afro house production with the clean, soulful vocals that define his music. In 2026 he headlined the Johnnie Walker AfroExchange in Lagos, Nigeria, extending his reach across the continent. His shows blend DJ selection with his own live vocal performance, offering a set that is both dancefloor driven and distinctly his.
