Amapiano, a South African music genre taken from the Zulu word for "pianos", is a subgenre of kwaito and house music that emerged in South Africa in the mid-2010s.
It is a hybrid of deep house, gqom, jazz, soul and lounge music characterized by synths and wide, percussive basslines.With over 2 billion streams in 2022 and a 143% increase in streams over the past year, Amapiano is a force to be reckoned with.
Spotify data shows a surge in Amapiano playlists, with over 240,000 playlists featuring the genre's name, reflecting its widespread appeal and growing influence. Learn more on Wikipedia
