DJ Black Coffee's lookalike recently released his debut album.
Not only does he look like the international acclaimed DJ Black Coffee, but he was also inspired by him to join the music industry. Emmanuel Ramaliba, known as DJ Ricoffy, "the black coffee's twin" recently released his album The year 2018.
Prior to the release of his album, he released a hit single, Days of your life, featuring Venanpha. The single was well received by local club DJs and it became a hot favourite on almost every DJ's playlist.
Ricoffy hails from Tshitereke village, outside Thohoyandou. "I started making music back in 2010 after being inspired by Nkosinathi Maphumulo, globally known globally as DJ Black Coffee." He said that since he had started making music his biggest challenge had always been that he was not well known, and he had no proper instruments and music equipment.
He said his proudest moment was when DJ Black Coffee retweeted a post, telling the people to "meet DJ Ricoffy."
He is also a qualified electrical engineer. People interested in his music can get his album at Thohoyandou Cash Crusaders.

The revival of Tshivenda traditional music is not just the pipe dream of some idealists. Judging by the turnout during a meeting held in Thohoyandou this past weekend, this form of music is about to undergo a major revival.
Tshivenda traditional-music lovers are in for a treat with a collaboration between Tshivenda traditional music legend and veteran Solomon Mathase and popular poet and guitarist Dzomo la Venda. The two were spotted on Saturday, 20 April, at a function in Thohoyandou where they showcased their talents during a live performance.
During a Sunday sermon, Bishop Johannes Muofhe of the World Mission Church’s Fondwe branch prophesied that a musician, someone other than a member of the worship team, would emerge from the church.
With a successful roots-reggae album titled “Shandukani” to his name, Fhatuwani Richard Mashele is quickly becoming a household name in South African music. Better known as Jah Saint in music circles, Mashele believes that success does not come overnight and that one must work hard to earn it.
