# Shakes & Les Announce *Groovinhos Kitchen 2*, a New 10-Track Amapiano Album

Shakes & Les will release *Groovinhos Kitchen 2* on 13 November 2026, extending their Amapiano catalogue with a 10-track album built around a broad cast of collaborators.

The project’s tracklist points to a release that places collaboration at its centre. Across the album, Shakes & Les work with established and emerging voices from the South African dance music scene, including Boohle, Djy Ma’Ten, Mashudu, Mphoet, Amukelani M, Smaki 08, Mangoli, Djy Biza, Ciniso, JayJayy, Mlooda, Miikey Ndlovu, Shakaman YKTV, Rishbeats, Mr Shane SA and Hypaphonik.

The opening track, “Bawo”, features Mphoet, while the early run continues with “Kwesaba Kuphele” featuring Amukelani M, Mashudu and Djy Biza, followed by the paired appearances of Smaki 08 and Mangoli on “Dali Wami” and “Golide”. Djy Biza returns on “Maduze”, alongside Ciniso, giving the album’s first half a clear network of recurring contributors.

The second half broadens that circle further. “Yiyo Lento” features JayJayy, who also appears on “Puleng” with Shakaman YKTV and Rishbeats. “Nhliziyo yami” brings together Mlooda, Miikey Ndlovu and Boohle, while “Elements” features Djy Ma’Ten. The album closes with “Loving You”, featuring Mr Shane SA and Hypaphonik.

With ten tracks and a consistently collaborative format, *Groovinhos Kitchen 2* is positioned as a substantial Amapiano release rather than a short collection of singles. Its appeal will likely lie in the way Shakes & Les connect different artists across the tracklist, creating multiple entry points for listeners familiar with the genre’s vocalists, DJs and producers.

As of the supplied information, no further details about the album’s themes, production approach or the meaning behind individual songs have been confirmed. What is clear is that *Groovinhos Kitchen 2* is designed as a collaborative showcase, with Shakes & Les at the centre of a wide-ranging 2026 Amapiano line-up.
