What is Amapiano?
Amapiano — meaning ‘the pianos’ in Zulu — is a South African genre blending deep house, jazz and lounge music with hypnotic log drum basslines. Born in the townships of Johannesburg and Pretoria around 2012, it has swept across Africa and the world.
From underground Soweto parties to global streaming charts, Amapiano is now one of the defining sounds of African youth culture. NMC Signal programmes it alongside Afrobeats and Kizomba as part of the pan-African diaspora sound.
