Barely a year old, amapiano is fast becoming the most popular new music genre in South Africa and, in the same way kwaito pushed the boundaries in the early 1990s, it is a testament to the unique ability of South African popular music to constantly reinvent itself. Amapiano is a sound that is being described as a mix of deep house and Gqom mixed with a soulful jazzy piano sound. Its origin can be traced to Pretoria but amapiano now has an audience across the country, with fans and enthusiasts like Fakaza popping up in the UK and the US too, all thanks to the internet. In a similar way to how kwaito captured the popular imagination and was seen as the voice of post-apartheid youth in South Africa, amapiano is finding wide pop-culture appeal among post-millennial South African youth who connect with tracks like Abagezi Abajoli and Let It Be. 1: Dj Maphorisa - Phoyisa 2: Mfr Souls - Love You Tonight 3: Dj maphorisa & Kabza De Small - tender Love
