    As a Nigerian living in China, AMAPIANO is taking over the clubs even the Chinese ones, as long as there is a foreign DJ and Africans in the building that night is gonna be lit for everyone. waking up in the morning and i cannot start my day without PIANO.

      Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️!
      Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget!
      So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen. ✝️

      For my perspective, it is amazing to see Amapiano started. In the 90s, Kwaito was big in SA. It then moved Afro House (in the 2000s), which was even bigger (hence the OG DJs like Oskido, Vini Davinci, DJ Fresh, the new generation - Black Coffee, Sun El Musician, etc.)
      Then, amapiano mixed the two genres, with Jazz. The outcome is what we have today.

    I am Zimbabwean and my first record was by Yvonne Chaka Chaka. We have been listening to South African since aeons ago. I agree, at the moment Amapiano is South Africa's biggest import but it's not the first original sound. They have been producing original sounds from looong ago! Like Oskido speaks of Kwaito... there was Papa Hugh, Stimela, Ladysmith Black Mambazo... and so many I am probably forgetting. The beauty now is: South Africa is being truly seen!🔥🔥🔥

      It's quite unfortunate that anyone would say Amapiano is the first original sound out of South Africa. I am Nigerian, growing in the 90s, the album record of FESTAC 77 (Black & African Festival of Arts and culture) was a staple in most homes. Nigeria was host country of its 2nd edition in 1977 and it was a hugely successful festival.
      en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FESTAC_77
      The sound of the south African contigent Ipi tombi was unforgettable.

      Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️!
      Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget!
      So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen. ✝️

    I’m Ukrainian and fucking love amapiano for its power, soulness, dance moves (sometimes really hilarious), and fashion style. I think this documentary is missing Kabza de Small, DJ Maphorisa, MFR Souls, Gaba Cannal, and MDU a.k.a TRP, as they’re true originators of the style. Recently, I also became a fan of gqom: it’s a bit like amapiano but even more energetic and, actually, influenced amapiano in the beginning.
    Long live amapiano and South Africa. I wish to come and party there one day. Aw yebo!

      @@Robio_scorpio don't even try to undermine South Africans and discredit our artists. I'm fed up with Nigerians and their arrogance in claiming to push our music. Your asses haven't done jack and can't even identify what real Amapiano sounds like. At the moment Afrobeat music is falling off due to pathetic copycat Nigerian musicians using knock off amapiano sounds to rebrand their music and it sounds atrocious. There are many songs that have blown over internatiionally from SA and they have nothing to do with Afrobeat or their opportunistic artists who are jumping on the South African wave to be relevant. The world is currently dancing to South African dance challanges. South Africa produces afrohouse, 3 step music, amapiano and even afrotech, alongside gqom. Don't try to downplay our ingenuity and on top of that songs like Mnike and Tshwala Bami have taken the world by storm without any so-called Afrobeat artists pushing anything. You can stop with the misinformation now and start respecting South Africans. We control our own narrative and it's a pity your inflated ego and delusional mentality can't accept that. Amapiano is in the hands of South Africans and that is where the soul of it belongs. The insufferable main character syndrome will not work with us because if you did your research you would even know South Africa's music industry is literally older than that of Nigeria and even generates the highest revenue (accounting for 70%) on the continent. I won't even mention how South Africa boasts of the most Grammy Awards in Africa. So, Afrobeat did not lay any foundation for us. We're not new to this and do not need any validation for global domination.

You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen. ✝️✝️

      It’s demonic, it’s witchcraft.
      Lord Jesus Christ is coming back everyone, please don’t worship celebrities and entertainment, focus on Him alone. I promise there’s more to life than money, partying, homosexuality and music. Hell is real, repent from sinning confess your sins and ask God to forgive you, I know He will if you’re sincere. Anyone who thinks the Name of Lord Jesus Christ is a joke, boldly mocks and scorns Him or takes pleasure in people who do is in for a big unpleasant surprise on judgement day IF they don’t repent and follow Lord Jesus Christ. Hell is very hot, people please repent! In the mighty name of Lord Jesus Christ, Amen 🙏💪✝️💜❤️✝️!
      Idolatry such as, Islam, Catholicism, Sangomaism, Buddhism, Hinduism, Santa Clausism, Confucianism, New Age, Science, Evolution, halloweenism, Harry Potterism, Politics, Donald Trumpism, Easter Bunnyism and other religions/faiths that are outside Biblical Christianity lead to hell! Don’t believe them, believe the Almighty God the Father of Lord Jesus Christ, who begot Him. Our Creator, The God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob is mighty, He doesn’t need a woman to beget a son, He is God. I choose to put my faith in a God who can do anything and everything, a God who has unlimited and infinite power to beget!
      So, it’s time to confess that Lord Jesus Christ is the Lord and to believe that He died and rose from the grave after three days and you shall be saved if you only obey Him by praying, worshipping, praising, reading the Bible and living holy and righteously according to the Bible. You have to endure until the end, carry your cross daily and build your relationship with God by following Lord Jesus daily until the end. You must never renounce your faith in The Lord Jesus Christ, there’s hell awaiting those who reject/deny Lord Jesus Christ and those who continue living sinfully, even the Christians who don’t want to repent will face the same fate, so please repent beloved people, in Lord Jesus Christ’s mighty and precious Name, Amen. ✝️✝️

    In 2005 I went to South Africa and I was there for almost 3 months. I was hearing similar and house music was so fun and so different there. It kept you on the dance floor all night until the women began screaming Aibow! I think South Africa should gate keep its music it really should. It’s a magical place!
    I pray they stay true to South Africa and do not begin to mimick anyone else. They’re magical people in a magical place.
    Their music has always had stories and purpose. I PRAY they never ever change!

Then I head other songs that didn’t have that US influence and I loved it even more. The more they drop songs the more their creativity is exposed and I can’t wait to see just how far they push it. The music is perfect for ppl that love to dance simply perfect! South Africa has my heart in more than one way! Love from the USA.
