Amapiano Selections

Style amapiano emerged in the mid-2010s thanks to the creativity of dozens of young producers from the suburbs of Gauteng and quickly spread through social networks. It has become one of the most relevant genres of house music in South Africa, combining various musical influences prevalent in the Gauteng region. It features jazz keyboards; bass synthesizers from kwaito, a popular style of African house; synthesizers from deep house; and the tempo of late 90s South African house. The bright atmosphere and relentless drums of amapiano convey the urban rhythm of South Africa, while nostalgic elements may be the key to its widespread success. 21-year-old producer Teno Afrika has incorporated all the versatility of amapiano into his debut.
