Amapiano MP3 Download – Free Amapiano Songs

Amapiano took shape in the townships around Johannesburg and Pretoria in the mid-2010s. It mixes deep house, jazz and kwaito around the log drum, a pitched, percussive bass that slides under airy piano chords, shakers and long vocal chants. Tempos usually sit around 110 to 115 BPM, slower than most house music.

Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa are two of the producers most closely tied to the style, and tracks like Focalistic's "Ke Star" and Tyler ICU's "Mnike" traveled far beyond South Africa. Uncle Waffles, Young Stunna and Major League DJz are other familiar names. Sub-styles include private school piano, a softer and jazzier variant, and harder, bass-heavy log drum tracks.

Amapiano tracks run long and often credit three or four artists, so a short search works best: one artist plus the title, like "Tyler ICU Mnike". Many songs exist as an original and a remix with guests, while DJ sets usually run past 30 minutes, which the converter does not support.
