Amapiano’s rise has been nothing short of spectacular! Originating in South Africa, this genre has evolved from a local sound into a global movement, influencing music scenes across Africa, Europe, Asia, and the Americas. The infectious beats, deep basslines, and signature log drums have made it a staple in international DJ sets, with artists like Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa leading the charge


Streaming platforms have seen a massive surge in Amapiano’s popularity, with Spotify reporting a massive 345,000% increase in streams globally over the past decade (data as of June 2024), reaching over 855 million streams by mid-2024. 

The genre’s influence extends beyond music—it has shaped dance trends, fashion, and even slang, making it a cultural force worldwide


What’s your take on Amapiano’s global takeover? Do you think it will continue to dominate, or will another genre rise to challenge its reign?
