July 12, 2021 Be first to comment

Despite the cultural differences and language barriers, there is one thing that always seems to bring Africans together: music. Nigerian artists have built strong relationships with artists from all over the world, especially within Africa. Davido confirmed this unity among Africans when he said, “…whether na chocolate, all of us na one race”, in his song ‘I got a friend’ ft. Mayorkun and the South African Rapper, Sho Madjozi. In the past, Nigerian artists and producers have explored different music styles from other regions. For example, the Makossa of Congo, Azonto of Ghana, Gqom of South Africa, and now the Amapiano sound from South Africa has taken over airwaves all over the continent. are all music styles Nigerians have adopted. You can trust Nigerians to give more popularity to any music style they adopt.  

Amapiano, a Zulu word for “the pianos”, is a subgenre of house music originating from South Africa in 2012. The music genre is unique for its piano melodies, kwaito basslines and deep house rhythms. The Amapiano or Afro-Amapiano sound gained prominence in the Nigerian music scene in 2020, and as the genre gradually grabbed the nation’s attention, many artists found themselves jumping on Amapiano records and releasing Amapiano remixes of their pre-existing songs. However, Amapiano is not limited to Nigeria and South Africa alone and has reached accepting audiences in the U.K., U.S.A., Japan and other countries. Keep reading to find out our favourite Amapiano songs by Nigerian Artists:

Squander – Falz ft Niniola

Falz made his debut into the Amapiano style with his hit song, Squander, featuring Niniola. Before his fans got over the Amapiano sensation, he decided to release a remix of the song featuring the South African Amapiano hitmakers Kamo Mphela, Mpura and Sayfar.
