Show Notes
Amapiano is undoubtedly one of the biggest music genres in Africa now. Originating from South Africa, the drum-heavy sound that has shifted Gqom to the side has since become a mayhem across Africa.
DJ Lord pursues his love for the genre with the fifth installment under the flagship mixtape ‘Piano & Chills.' He compiles some of the best Amapiano bops of South African and Nigerian origin and fuses them together in this beautifully carved body of work.
