- House Music has been trending and on the rise for the last couple of years. But I see subgenres like Amapiano taking over in 2024.

From Chicago. Found amapiano in 2020. South Africa is taking over the world with that sound.
Factual
As a South African I appreciate that you actually did your research before posting this video, shout out to you 💯
house music nvr died, was always breathing heavy in SA since the days of chi town, detroit, SA is the home of house.....Amapiano is our lil nephews & nieces playing with FL, keyboards & samplers in their rooms but deep house will nvr die......
As a South African hip hop fan I've watched amapiano take over the local hip pop and even pop scene completely.
It came and conquered and it's here to stay
It's hasn't taken over Hip Hop but It will have it's place in the music industry
Amapiano or any other genre will always trump a bunch of South Africans putting on cringey fake American accents & trying be something else
@@TheAdoptedSon1five Danko. Most of them don't understand that HipHop isn't the problem. The problem is with imitations and trying to be American.
@@TheAdoptedSon1five We know them west Africans pretending to be Americans. Always pretending.
I dont remember house going anywhere, especially in SA. Each to his own but the house-heads (in SA) are & have been periot!
I totally agree. Amapiano Music is amazing. Soulful, heartful, authentic, moving heart and soul. Found out about it through Tyla. It brings back authentic vibes which move you to dance, even sitting, let's say moving vibes. I love the Jazz elements and what I love most is also the inclusion of authentic instruments . Keep the good work . Thank you for your video. Much Peace and Love from Ibiza 🙏💖
House music has many sub genres. Afro House, Tribal House & Deep House are a few of my favorites.
I dont think House music is coming back in South Africa, because its beeeeennn here we've been dancing to it in this part of the world.
“But did house music really go anywhere?” In my house head who grew up on the original Chitown house music voice
But on the global scene it kinder disappeared you know...
@@rigodiaz100 Nope house music is still very much alive, amapiano will surely disappear but real house music will always be with us.
it'll disappear to you, since it's not 'real' to you
@@sensationalloops225 i've seen many similar genres come and go but real house is still going stronger.
@@hope22hope41Amapiano is real house. The foundation of house music is African rhythms.
Thanks for the content! I'm from Newark, NJ and 55 yrs old. This sound is like no other. House music has been productive, but not like this so fast. I'm hearing Chicago, DC, of course Jerz, in the way that the djz are incorporating back in the day artists. Amapiano has made its own mark.
Appreciate the watch! I’m excited to see house in more spaces. And we will be throwing events playing house music very soon
My love affair with house music began in the late 80s and early 90s New Jersey. My uncle had sound system and some of his DJ friends who'd stop by to test their mixes before club nights. What a time! when the basement was a legit sweatbox, fueled by thumping beats and pure fun. Take me bacccck!
House music is not making a comeback, maybe in America, it is. But in South Africa ever since the 90's house music has always been very dominant.
South Africa is small in terms of global influence.
AS a South African, house music has never lost its momentum in South Africa, Artists from all over the world have been coming to our shores to play/make new music/colab' projects/etc. most of the international House DJ's have relocated to South Africa. We consume a lot of House music. quite A lot.
This is valid. Someone growing up in Chicago area I can say that the youth didn’t experience it like the generation before. I didn’t really hear it till I got to college and that was through my own curiosity, finding artists like Kaytranada.
@@realrandr Thats great, we have been consuming house music from Chicago. Some of the best artists were coming to bless us down here. Some artists come to still come to Soweto and many other Townships. You go anywhere during the weekend, a public holiday, social gatherings, Family gatherings, Weddings, etc we listen to house music. We only appreciate the creators/founders from Chicago.
House never left South Africa
I thought I was a hip hop head until a song called “Shesha Geza” came out 😂 I started questioning who I truly am, funny enough my big bro used to have house cassettes back in the day and all of a sudden had 2Pac, Jay Z, Ja Rule cassettes etc and I followed his path, now I’m back to house, and I know I know he’d be bumping that if he was still with us, may his soul rest in beats 🖤
Amapiano 2 The Fxckin 🌍
I was a Zimbabwean Gqomhead (even before it blew up…l even had South African friends who would look at me funny with my love for Gqom)… heard about Amapiano (and thought it boring…this was preShesha Geza/Mshove)…
…then l heard Shesha Geza 😅😂😂😂😂😂
(I wasn’t even listening actively… l was distracted in deep conversation with someone. But that song just made me stop the conversation and ask “Whatttt innnn the air is that???”🙆🏾🔥🔥🔥
It was over for Gqom 🥲😭😭😂🤣🤣🤣
I was doubting the Amapiano..as a hip hop from S.A ..till my homeboy introduced me to Kelvin Momo i started switching 🔥🍿
I basically stopped listening to rap about 5 years ago and started listening to House and Afrobeats because it isn't so angry. Im in a better mood and I don't feel so tense and emotionally charged. Amapiano goes hard
Amapiano is going global!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
check my mix
It is global. Even Indians claim to have their version.
Good content bro. I'm South African and I can say, you spitting . Born close enough to the city where amaPiano is said to have started, in Pretoria.
Amapiano is getting global day by day 🇿🇦
Chicago House Head here! House Culture 4 Life! It's spiritual. Pouring libations for Ron Hardy!
All this stuff is just House Music subgenre
Do afrotech. It's also huge in SA
Bring back house music where it came from. The REAL house music.
Im 34 from Chicago. I grew up listening to House, but didnt really know what it was by genre. I decided to get back into it recently and been loving it. I've been hearing about Amapiano through TikTok. I gotta check that out.
House music is amazing honestly i would be happy if it knocked rap down a lot
Additionally, it's the rhythm of the logdrum for me. It's something very different and kinda breaks the usual beats of house and dance music which makes your body move in new ways. Combined with the jazzy vibes it can't get any better for me. Also, some Artist's logdrums go very very deep, which is amazing if you like bass and listen over a system. As you say, the genre stands out.
Yea I agree with alot of this, I can't think of another instrument that has stood out to me this way in recent memory!
first person narrative: Club Vinyl in lower Manhattan closed down and MAW started getting more gigs outside of New York as the "house" genre expanded into more sub-genres - where MAW are seen as the grandfathers of the NY Underground scene. Louie Vega started traveling and expanded his influence outside of Afro-Latin genres. After his divorce from salsa mega-artist La India, Vega explored Brazilian and African music genres, which lead to him booking major shows in South Africa. Louie Vega introduced soulful, gospel, deep, Latin, and tribal house to South Africa which sparked a wave of new producers in the region. South Africa created their own version: "Afro-Deep", a new music genre which resonated all across the continent from Nigeria to Ghana to Botswana. Afro-Deep maintained Louie Vega's recipe of Deep House with eclectic & indigenous influences of rhythms and chants..... an early example would be "Township Funk" and music by Osunlade, Black Coffee, DJ Mujava, Zakes Bantwini, and OF COURSE Culoe De Song! This was where "Amapiano" sprouted from........... and speaking of which, I am still waiting for Vigro Deep to produce a whole damn LP with Ty Dolla $ing called "My Beach House" - and I wouldn't mind Vigro Deep doing Sade's next album either.
You know your stuff and please cover the new wave of house music in South Africa that is called 3 steps
Definitely going to look into it!
The house sound that was totally underground in Chattanooga, Tennessee back in the 2010s, has totally taken over pop music.
Black Americans influenced the world with Jazz, Rock&Roll, R&B, Hop Hop, Techno, & House Music.
Kwaito is also like the perfect combo between house and hip hop. Please do a video on Gqom music which is another South African genre that didn't get to shine long enough because amaPiano came on the scene but it's like our version of EDM basically
House music never really left… Especially considering SA is one of the few countries that will play house music on radio across the country and it’s been like that for years
I’m American so our POV may be a bit different. In SA I can 100% see how that would be true. I gotta get out there soon!!
It’s simple. People wanna have fun and dance. Some live rap shows are very boring. People just film or stand around.
I pray that young people of TODAY in the USA rediscovers the music that we created. I am tired of mostly us older people in Chicago, Baltimore, New York, New Jersey, Detroit, DC, and Atlanta keeping the culture/music alive by ourselves.
What I’d like to add is that if major labels or influential figures in the music want to take this sound to the next level, they have to bring in the people that made it popular in South Africa to possibly A&R or executive produce bc what happens is that the sound gets watered down as it reaches a more mainstream appeal. Which I guess is fine in some cases (re:Tyla with Water) . Drake got Kabza De Small to produce for him on his tour with 21 Savage and I think link ups like that would make for the best possible product
Personally speaking, I started listening to mainstream "American" house music because of Drake's album "Honestly, Nevermind"
Drake is important!!!
House music originated out of black Chicago communities, went global andnever went anywhere. Tomorrowland music fest is one of the biggest house/techno fests in the world. So the other genres are SUB genres under house. Jesse Shaunders made the first ever house song she is still making music and playing till this day all over the globe. All is great music none the less 🔥
You should checkout AfroHouse, tribal house, artists like Black Coffee before he went global and so on
You know your music bro. Please also listen to De Mthuda, Mas Musiq, Gaba Cannal, Sam Deep, Mick Man, Musa Keys, Tyler ICU, it will all change your life.
Vigro Deep, the new kid on the block😮ba re ke lemnecke
Great video. Would definitely like to see something about european house like Daft Punk, Modjo from France or London artists.
Rocking with you man, I be doing house rap so ima check this vibe out more
Check out "Big Flexa" by Costa Titch
you informed bro.🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌🙌
Appreciate that !!
My hope for the younger folks ( I am middle aged, from Chicago who witnessed house be born) The one thing about our parties is that we never limit ourselves musically. So it would behoove you to continue to be a forever student of music. Its so much to discover and learn musically. Thank you for this share. I love most of the music coming from the motherland I am familiar with the music just didn't know the artists names. This shed a lotta light. Peace and love from Chicago.
Love that you did your research for this.
Chris brown, drake, Travis Scott and some more artists have already started listening to amapiano. It's only a matter of time before they (or someone else) figure out how to make it work with their styles of music and when that time comes...
Facts
This is interesting
I've been listening to classic house
and deep house for like the last 3 months
I just woke up one day and got tired of hearing an endless stream of negativity
House music is about love
I just simply wanted to change the message going into my earhole
I could've listened to anything, but I'm very familiar with classic house because I was a faithful weekly house music club attendee
Plus I love that it's tempo is more upbeat.
House music never left …to make a comeback
To the mainstream it can be debated
If you understood the Zulu language (99% of vocal amapiano is in Zulu), you'd fall 10x more in love with it. You'd enjoy the spritual and romantic side that amapiano often is.
good stuff!!!!!
Bro you're 100% correct
House and techno music may both come from the Midwestern US (Chicago for house and Detroit for techno), but they have become so completely global that it’s inevitable for these new vastly different offshoot genres like Amapiano to grow, just as the global hub of techno music has been Berlin for the past few decades despite its origins in Detroit. I can say with absolute certainty that the big trend in mainstream popular music will be house music, and quite frankly I am already seeing this to a massive degree as in the examples of Ariana Grande’s new single being a 90s Italo House/Vogue-inspired track, the new Kali Uchis album Orchídeas being a mixture of slower BPM house-inspired music combined with strong influence from various subgenres of Latin American music (including the already popular Dembow and Reggaeton, but also in the case of the song Te Mata she released a Mariachi/Bolero track, and there’s also the influence of Bachata and Merengue). The big trend between 2020 and 2023 was largely a revival of various types of disco music, as seen in the massively successful album Future Nostalgia by Dua Lipa, the album Disco by Kylie Minogue (which is the most pure disco album I can recall being released since the last revival of disco in the early 2000s - although the early 2000s revival was a sort of modernized version of the genre often called “Nu disco” and I wasn’t as big a fan of it as I am more traditional disco). As more artists keep releasing new house tracks to great success, I can only see the trend continuing. Frankly, Amapiano is the only truly new genre to come out in the past few years, and I hope it continues to grow in popularity. I haven’t listened to much of it myself, as frankly I listen to primarily house and trance tracks from roughly between 1989 and 2006, various underground techno tracks that are highly focused on rhythmic variation (although this music is quite difficult to find and just is not the same outside the setting of the illegal/semi-legal rave with a DJ doing live remixing), and also I listen to various dance pop artists like the aforementioned Kylie Minogue and Dua Lipa (and many others), hip-hop but almost exclusively from female rappers these days (as rap made by men largely just seems dead), and increasingly more and more music in Spanish, especially more alternative-type pop from artists like the Colombian pop singer Esteman (I highly recommend his songs Noche Sensorial and Fuimos Amor, especially if you’re in the LGBTQ community like me). I hope this trend towards the further mainstreaming of house music continues, but even more I hope that we can return to the days where “Extended Mix” means a 9 minute track and the “Original Mix” means a 7 minute track. This trend of 2 minute long tracks is ANNOYING AS HELL.
Don't matter, it came from Black Americans...We ain't copy nobody
@@Soufside_Slim that’s kind of my point though. Even as various genres of music have been adapted for different contexts around the world, at the center of it all, black people in America basically created in some way nearly all genres of music that have been popular for over the past 100 years in the US (with the possible exception of country music). And just as with other genres, the only truly new and globally popular genre to come out for a long time - Amapiano - was also invented by black artists (except invented by black South Africans instead of black Americans). And y’all should definitely be proud of that, just as I’m proud as a gay Latino man of the importance of gay Latino men in the history of disco and house.
Comeback?!!! House never left! Has morphed world wide!
Fair point!
Correction: Kwaito is actually a house/Hip-Hop variant.
tell em bredda!
can you make a videos explaining why there's is so many Djs during this period of amapiano
U should listen to Mdu aka trp the king of the logdrum
Definitely A Vibe
@@realrandr did u listen to him
solid man - hope your apartment works out for greatest
I dunno bro amapiano during 2019-2021 was a truly golden era of the genre. Nowadays the piano is all about tiktok trends, kids showing off dance moves and music that is fresh for 3-4 weeks and its gone! I still jam beats from that era where producers gave their upmost attention to detail and made fans go wow this is a classic. RIP Mpura

house music never left
"k-why-toe" & "ma-po-reece-ah", brother.
Come back? It never left. Where you been. It's been around since the 70's.
House will neva die
Just a heads up, you don’t pronounce the “ph” in Maphorisa as an f. You pronounce the p as normal
shame we didn't hear any...
since when was house even dead for it to have a comeback?
Touché
Point is, it was kinda nonexistent in the mainstream as the mainstream was dominated by hip hop and Fnb mostly.
It’s making a comeback as a mainstream genre.
This isn't about house making a comeback (it never fell off) - this is about the globalization of sounds and a paradigm shift on our perspective of music. We have reached the fallout of the hip hop/rap industry as we know it. Labels like OVO are placing a huge bet on afro house with Oliver El-Khatib at the helm and close relations with Keinemusik further propelling the cross-over. The creativity and energy coming out of South and West Africa is absolutely insane, but we are seeing artist in the US and Europe adopting the afro-sound as well. 2024 is the year of the afro-house remix with Drake and Travis Scott with the most notable to date. This is the wave and it will be bigger than ever by EOY.

Amapiano is bacardi music that went to private shool. It has elements of Kwaito more than house to be honest😊
House music isn't restricted between 120 and 130, Larry Heard (Chicago's house music legend) has created songs with a 110 BPM.
House music has been around and never faded. In USA music producers like Glenn Underground (Chicago), Louie Vega (Bronx)and DJ Spinna (Brooklyn), to name a few, have been making it. Asia, like in Japan, they have clubs bumping it. Also in Europe, they've yearly festivals like ade (Amsterdam Dance Event). In Africa, we have South Africa, Swaziland, Botswana and Kenya pushing the envelope, even on mainstream.
House music gigs have been live streamed / video recorded for more than a decade.
So, the genre is not making a comeback, it has been here.
People are misinterpreting what I am saying. From a mainstream pop perspective, things are gaining more notoriety as of late.
@@realrandr, hence, I said, "In Africa, we have South Africa, Swaziland, Botswana and Kenya pushing the envelope, even on mainstream."
But why are genres always pitted against each other like this??? Music is better with veriety.
House,trance,etc is gonna come back cos our kids grew up listening to it,and they realise that all the very weak shite that they been listening to (Kpop,swift, Sheeran etc is gonna kill your buzz when you're out on a Friday or Saturday night. Our kids are coming home before midnight and thinking, hang about,dad would roll in at 5am,still buzzing,and pay the babysitter extra to stay until lunchtime.
There are some very lame people in charge of the media outlets,but our kids will get in there eventually and beef it up again
Comeback! 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Wait wait wait.......Uncle Waffles is a female??
yeah she is
Check out ANOTR
I can’t believe people say hip hop is dying and it all sounds the same when house music all sounds the same 😂 but do you
UK Garage does not sound like Amapiano, literally have different instrumentation, BPM, and their speaking different languages lol. But they’re the same yea
As a South African Amapiano is crab
House music never went anywhere hruh
Awesome video ! I've discovered Amapiano 3 years ago and have been playing it extensively in my African Parties in Koh PhaNgan. People take a moment until they feel how to dance to it, and then go wild.
Soulection is another big channel who features a lot of Amapiano. My own favorites are S!rene from netherlands, and the sub-genre of Quantum Sound Amapiano, which has more tribal vocals and hard-hitting percussion.
keep up the great work
Here's a tribal Amapiano DJ set I played last year:

I'm sorry house is not making a comeback its always been popular in South Africa, and Europe now America and the rest of the world are listening to it I grew up on house I literally Dont listen to rap at all my spotify Dont lie lol
How many house inspired beats made the top 100 last year . Go
kwaito is a type of hiphop not house
Wb in instrumental what is that categorized as
Kwaito is slowed down house beats, with raps on it.
Kwaito heads used to diss rappers so I couldn’t say it’s a type of hip hop
amapaino is not house music, its a more morden kwaito music. as am from south africa i tell what is what. its not house music and will never be house music. its dance music.
Kwaito music is categorized as house music as well. House music is defined by BPM, tempo, and instrumentation.
@@realrandr kwaito comes from hip hop incase u didnt know my brother. ive seen the birth of kwaito and amapiano in my life time. i think i know what am talking about as a music producer and kwaito is the reason ilearned how to make music.
