The limited-edition Hunter's Dry and Gold cans were developed in collaboration with Ch'cco and Boohle, two South African musicians who are well known for their contribution to the Amapiano genre, says the brand.
When cold, the cans reveal two tracks from the last 35 years that have been refreshed by Ch'cco and Boohle.
Consumers can scan the on-pack QR code and stand a chance to win tickets to see Boohle and Chicco at the Hunter's Refresh Experience. The event will feature Ch'cco and Boohle with a 20-piece Amapiano big band led by Kesivan Naidoo.
"The Hunter's Refresh Experience presents a highly anticipated industry first for the Amapiano genre. It's a huge step forward for the culture and for this genre to be recognised and translated in the greatest way possible through a 20-piece band," says Lynsay Sampson, marketing manager for Hunter's.
The big band will feature A-list SA jazz musicians, all paying homage to this proudly South African musical genre, which — despite being in its infancy — is taking the world by storm.
The band has no shortage of top-tier musicians; it boasts
SAMA winners, a
Standard Bank Young Artist of the Year and international touring artists.
Hunter's says that it has always been synonymous with music and supporting local talent, so it's fitting for the brand to have facilitated this amazing moment in musical history.
"Big band music originated around 100 years ago, and back then, it was the new kid on the block. A century later, it's Amapiano's turn. It will truly be something special to see these genres come together at the two Hunter's Refresh Experience events in Johannesburg and Cape Town over the summer," concludes Sampson.
Both tracks will be available on Spotify from Friday, 13th of October. Scanning the QR code will further unlock one's chances to win prizes and tickets to the Hunter's Refresh Experience. Limited tickets will be available on Howler.
