2020

Amapiano — a subgenre of house music featuring log drums, jazzy piano melodies, and heavy basslines — became the dominant sound of South African music in 2020. Kabza De Small and DJ Maphorisa (the 'Scorpion Kings') were the genre's most prolific hitmakers. Master KG's 'Jerusalema' became a worldwide viral hit, and COVID lockdowns paradoxically helped amapiano spread globally via social media.
