Amapiano
South Africa's log-drum house
Aapiano is ' n Suid - Afrikaanse dansgenre wat op diep baslyne, jazzagtige klavierkoorde en die rolende stompdrom gebou is. Dit het uit die woonbuurte Gauteng in die 2010's gegroei en het sedertdien een van Afrika se mees uitgevoerde klanke geword.
Origin & history
Amapiano emerged in Gauteng province — Johannesburg, Pretoria and the surrounding townships — in the early 2010s, drawing on kwaito, deep house and jazz.
It spread first through taxi ranks, WhatsApp and SoundCloud rather than radio, and the log-drum bass that defines it became recognisable far beyond South Africa within a decade.
