Frequently Asked Questions
-
Amapiano — meaning "the pianos" in Zulu — is a genre of South African house music that emerged from the townships of Gauteng Province in the early 2010s. It blends deep house, jazz, and lounge music with signature log drum basslines and melodic piano riffs at a laid-back 110–120 BPM. What started in Johannesburg and Pretoria has taken over dance floors worldwide. If you've heard Tyla, Uncle Waffles, or Kabza De Small, you've heard the sound. If you haven't — this is where you find out.
