Hybrid: Amapiano, Afro House, Reggaetton & HipHop

Amapiano, meaning ‘the pianos’ in Zulu, is a subgenre adapted from House music and has exploded into one of the biggest genres in the Dance Music Industry.

This funky, sexy genre hands you a cocktail of deep House, jazz, and lounge music with a splash of sultry synths, airy pads, and wide percussive basslines. And if you’re wondering where ‘the pianos’ comes into this, Amapiano is uniquely characterised by its distinctive high-pitched piano melodies.
