A multi-talented and electrifying personality on the South African entertainment scene, LexLeo (also popularly known as Dr Smile, dentist to the stars) is widely celebrated for being a philanthropist. In his latest music offering, LexLeo has released a brand new single titled Kancane Kancane, together with global movement Awake, about making a positive change for a better world, little by little, with the hope of influencing the mindsets of today’s younger generation.
His music is often peppered with elements of hip-hop and a unique Afro-Persian sound, but Kancane Kancane is LexLeo’s first afro-beat track. “Each one of us is given unique capacities and talents; to find those talents, develop those capacities and use them for the good of humanity – well, what goal could be better than that? Little by little, day by day, kancane kancane,” comments Lex Leo.
