First..what is Amapiano?

Amapiano (from Zulu word : piano) is a style of house music that emerged in South Africa in 2012. It is a mix of deep house, jazz and lounge music characterized by synths, airy layers, broad percussive bass lines, gospel-inspired keyboards and traditional percussion.

It is characterized by high-pitched piano melodies, Kwaito bass lines, low-tempo 90s South African house rhythms and percussion from another local house subgenre known as Bacardi.

In 2020, the genre has grown in popularity across the African continent and worldwide with a notable increase in digital streams and chart successes in countries far from its South African.

To get familiar with this style, what better than the compilation Amapiano Now, released on July 23 and in which the web radio NTS (based in London) has gathered 17 tracks and no less than 20 artists.

Among them, Mandisa Radebe aka “DBN Gogo”, 28 years old. Originally from Durban and raised in Pretoria, this DJ is the daughter of former minister Jeff Radebe (who held various portfolios from 1994 to 2019) and the niece of Patrice Motsepe, the current president of the Confederation of African Football.

She has signed several singles and two opuses : Thokoza Café in 2020 (with DJ Dinho, present on the track Possible that we present) and Break Through in 2021 (with Unlimited Soul) – ” Le Monde “
