Many of you in this comment section need to rest and give it up for the South Africans. South Africa alone has successfully created and exported more than 10 genres of music. And I'm not talking about your local village genres that remain just within your communities; I mean genres that are internationally recognized. How many can each of your countries boast of? 🤔 And I'm not even South African. So when it comes to music genre creation, leave it to them.

[@JaphtaKhoza-hq9um]

If u wanna understand why it is called AMAPIANO watch this music video of MFR Souls - Love You Tonight ft. DJ Maphorisa, Sha Sha, Kabza De Small and u will literally understand

Once again SA proves how influential they are in Africa. SA has the most grammy wins in all of Africa and now giving us another genre of music we can export internationally besides afrobeats 🇿🇦🇿🇦.

Did he just made a remix AMAPIANO version of how deep is your love? Omg this guy is genius... The breakdown of step by step....

[@Rhemmaa]

Wait until you hear that the Wizkid song came about because Wizkid (a Nigerian) put DJ Maphorisa (one of South Africa's biggest producers) on the sound when Amanpiano hadn't blown up. It gained even more traction in South Africa thanks to DJ Maphorisa and other renowned artists, inspiring Davido and the rest of Nigeria to adopt it.

[@decepticon8000]

No lol, Maphorisa was in Afro-house and had produced some classic albums for big SA afro-pop artists. His contribution to amapiano was in finding artists who already had had a mature sound in amapiano and brought them to the mainstream - the genre was underground. He also had a way of packaging the song that allowed them to produce, master and release tons of songs within weeks, which is what caused the genre blow up in the mainstream space, and later internationally as well. South African house fans who understands the SA style of making music will tell you the true evolution of amapiano from kwaito to deep house, to tribal house and the 'slow jam style of deep house that eventually went underground. To eventually reimerge as what you guys now know as Amapiano. Wizkid is one of my favourite artists in the world but his involvement with Maphorisa had no influence on the amapiano sound - as Phori's main contribution to the genre is work ethics and status. He is one hell of a producer so take nothing away from him, but he has not produced any piano song that added/advanced the sound of Amapiano. And I stand to be corrected but I think his first song with Wizkid is "My Soweto baby" and Maphorisa became one of his in-house producers from there onwards, he was helping out with Wizkid albums and not the other way around. We found out about their working relationship when drake wanted a Wizkid feature and Maphorisa tagged along as part of his team. The song was called One Dance.

[@noxiousdjxkush]

That's the reason I was quick to jump on amapiano cause I used to play alot of house and a little of kwaito

[@Being_cool_aint_enough]

Uncle waffles even got a drake co-sign

[@Jephsy_Nwa_Mama]

True that, Nigerians added more lyrics to Amapiano. But the South Africans showed how creative and influential they are by recreating their very kwaito into something new.

[@pump1180]

Which amapiano do you listen to? Cause there’s plenty of South Africans amapiano with lyrics the problem is you all get you’re music from tiktok

[@chrishlongwa6376]

For me it is no sense of shame, jumping from one false claim to another, in endless attempts to claim amapiano. Now it is lyrics, in one podcast they said they made it more danceable! Amapiano is South African period - music, dance, culture and lifestyle, and South Africans will educate the world whenever impostors rear their ugly heads. Fortunately there is only one impostor nation and everyone knows who they are. I respect Davido for having respectfully declared he is 'only a guest in the amapiano house'.

[@Jephsy_Nwa_Mama]

@@chrishlongwa6376 get help. Whether Nigerians made it danceable or what. Amapiano belongs to Mzansi. Didn't hip hop originate from USA? Yet south Africa has a music genre called south African hip-hop. The origin never fades

this thing that amapiano doesn't have lyrics is very ignorant because it's said by people who aren't tapped into the sound. also, stop discovering amapiano on tik tok.

[@giantbrave9883]

@emotioncontrolla In early Amapiano songs, even before the log drum was introduced in the genre, you would get these jazz or piano solo's which they would play. You rarely hear them on the popular/ commercial songs now but when you listen to albums, you will hear these piano solo melodies. Artists like Kelvin Molmo, Gaba Canal, MFR Souls heavily still use the piano/ jazzy element. They just are unknown outside SA so you won't hear that piano sound that much. That's were the name Amapiano comes from. MFR Souls coined the term Amapiano and they used these piano melodies.

[@JeanSampson87]

Well said... I write a piece in the comments regarding this as well. Most west africans (Ghana and naija) are very ignorant about this whole Amapiano genre.

[@giantbrave9883]

Unpopular Opinion: Asake and Magic Sticks are running the Amapiano sound in Africa. These men have been dropping Yanos hits consistently over the past two years and Asake is doing better than our SA artist internationally. My fellow South Africans will fight me on this but they don't even listen to music outside SA. Lastly, Nigerian fans must stop this thing of calling Amapiano a sub-genre of Afrobeats or calling an Amapiano song sang by Niaja artist Afrobeats when you can hear the shakers, the horn, the log drums, etc. Afrobeats never used these elements before but now you hear them on a lot of "Afrobeats" songs. We've seen how Ghana has been erased by clueless fans from Afrobeats history. We won't let that happen here in the South.

[@Crowned-Qwesi]

You are right on all fronts. I hope the Nigerians agree with you.

[@mtp715]

I don't like Nigerian fake Amapiano it just doesn't hit like S.A. Nigerians do a fusion anyway so it's not really Amapiano. 😂I know you love the jollof dudes but take pride in your country's music. Anyway, your probably Nigerian. 😂

[@ihunnawisdom2376]

We use shakers in afrobeats music your statement overall is false....and what signigicans is Ghana in afrobeats history was it created by ghanians?

[@pump1180]

Uncle waffles played at coachella and has a BET award nomination for amapiano not Asake? He doesn’t make amapiano he just uses the amapiano sound for afrobeats because afrobeats is popular but it doesn’t do anything for the amapiano movement cause now people think simple using log drums equals amapiano and it doesn’t.

[@beryltanko8314]

As a Nigerian, I 100 % agree Amapiano is a whole different genre and just because we Nigerians love the sound and are inspired by it doesn’t mean we should put it under AFROBEAT.. but unfortunately it is actually the western media that tries to group amapiano under Afrobeat This all started with the name “afrobeatssss” like what is the S for? And it was created to purposely group all sounds from Africa.. which to me is Trash Amapiano has come so far and I can tell you every Nigerian is proud to see SA going worldwide.. it gives us joy and we want to see AMAPIANO in bold letters on big stages Not only Afrobeat There is so much amazing music in Africa and every one should get to shine AMAPIANO is dope 🔥
