Amapiano is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in South Africa around 2012. It combines deep house, jazz, and lounge music, and is known for its distinctive sound, which features heavy basslines, airy synths, and jazzy piano melodies - hence the name "amapiano," which translates to "the pianos" in Zulu and Xhosa. The genre also often incorporates local South African rhythms and percussive elements, creating a uniquely vibrant sound that has gained popularity worldwide.
