Ghanaian Amapiano songs to enjoy this weekend

The South African music genre, Amapiano has slowly creeped its way into the West African setting and now Afrobeat singers are switching fast and tapping into the new genre.

Amapiano

Amapiano, a music genre that has been making waves in Ghana is a style of house music that emerged in South Africa in 2012. The music genre is a hybrid of deep house, jazz, and lounge music characterized by synths, airy pads, and wide and percussive basslines.

It is distinguished by high-pitched piano melodies, Kwaito basslines, low-tempo 90s South African house rhythms, and percussions from another local subgenre of house known as Bacardi.

Ghanaian producers and artists, for the most part, have embraced the sound and are making and releasing their own Amapiano and Amapiano-inspired songs.

To help enjoy your weekend, we put together five (5) Amapiano songs you can listen to;
