The first two episodes focused on Johannesburg's riveting arts and culture scene. The latest fourth episode shows Ubunifu Space sampling Cape Town's music, food, dance and night life culture. The docuseries would not be complete without South Africa's top music artists who make cameos alongside young music hopefuls.</p><p><div class="preroll-video"></div><ora-player></ora-player></p><p> <strong></strong>Ubunifu Space includes <strong>Bryan Obonyo (</strong>Kenya) <strong>David Osafo </strong>and<strong> Ian Opolot</strong> (Uganda), <strong>Monique Touko</strong> (Zimbabwe-Cameroon) and <strong>Shay Sade</strong> (Nigeria).The five<strong> </strong>make up the collective of Black Africans living in London who were all motivated to cultivate the musical palates of Londoners. Ubunifu Space originally rose to international stardom through their reaction videos which centered music from across the African continent. Their reaction videos have amassed over 40 million views on YouTube and have created a diverse and critical voice for music coming out of Africa. The collective has exposed gqom and amapiano to the world with their <a href="https://www.zkhiphani.co.za/uk-vloggers-go-crazy-omunye-video/" target="_blank">reaction video to gqom hit "Omunye"</a> by <strong>Distruction Boyz</strong> featuring <strong>Benny Maverick </strong>and <strong>Dladla Mshunqisi.</strong></p><p><div class="dfp_atf-slot" data-not-loaded="true"></div><script type="text/javascript">

This showed us that what we're doing is very impactful. This isn't just a reaction video platform. We really can draw links and connections between ourselves and our brothers and sisters on the continent. This is a platform that represents that and showcases those stories."</em></blockquote><p>Watch Ubunifu Space's #UbuOnTour fourth episode below:<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ac5j0QD-DSA&ab_channel=UbunifuSpace" target="_blank"></a></p><p class="shortcode-media shortcode-media-youtube">
