Yo people,
African music is getting increasingly popular in the world, with DJs like Black Coffee filling up Madison Square Garden, Afrobeats songs streamed over 15 billion times on Spotify, and huge Amapiano parties taking place in major European cities.
But somehow it's missing on this techno island.
So, i'm on a mission to bring you all kinds of African dance music - tribal, passionate, exciting, soulful, s*xy, pumping music from all over Africa and the diaspora.
The genre i'm most excited about and one which is constantly rising in popularity, is AMAPIANO, which originated in south Africa in the mid 2010s. It is related to afro-house, but slower and with amazing basslines and percussions. I find that while it can be tribal, it's also more sensual and juicy than faster House music.
I've been playing Amapiano since a few years, and I love seeing how people take a moment to feel how to dance to it, and then GO WILD !
Here's a Tribal Amapiano DJ set I played late last year:
