TRONIX MADIBE

Just like Kwaito, Amapiano is originally created in South Africa and is now a global and most loved dance music genre. TRONIX MADIBE Global music producer Artist on the mission Amapiano (Zulu for "the pianos".) is a style of house music that emerged in South Africa in 2012. Amapiano 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. In 2020, the genre experienced increased popularity across the African continent with noted increases in digital streams and chart successes in countries far from its South African origin. Amapiano’s demeanour is paradoxical: it's soulful and innocent yet carnal with bright melodies and occasional raw and repetitive hooks, which deeply resonate in the Johannesburg and Pretoria townships where it was first popularised by bedroom producers. In conclusion. Amapino caused the death of Qqom music. RIP TRONIX MADIBE Power to the Composer✊
