The Amapiano sound infiltrated its way into the Nigerian airwaves in 2020 and it became popular after Nigerian artists like Mayorkun, Niniola, Davido, Masterkraft, Olamide and the rest jumped on it.

Origin wise, the sound originated from South Africa and is a Zulu word for ‘the pianos’. The sound is a style of house music that emerged in South Africa in 2012.

Amapiano is a deep house, jazz, and lounge music mix characterized by synths, airy pads, and wide and percussive bass lines.

It is characterized by high-pitched piano melodies, Kwaito bass lines, low tempo 90s South African house rhythms, and percussions from another local sub-genre of house music labelled as Bacardi.

While there has been a lot of ambiguity concerning its origins, there have been various accounts of the musical styles originating in the Johannesburg townships — Soweto, Alexandra, Vosloorus and Katlehong.

From the end of 2020 to the present, practically every A-list singer has jumped on the trend to create the ‘Nigerian Amapiano’ sound, much to the joy of their fans.

Amapiano in Nigeria

Nigerian musicians are noted for their ability to own any sound they are introduced to. This is known as the ‘Nigerian Effect.’

The Amapiano sound won’t be the first sound from outside the shores to have Nigerian artists jumping on it.

For example, the Makossa craze which had been the mainstream sound in Cameroon for decades before it swept Nigeria in the early 2000s, gained popularity in the Congo from the mid-’90s onwards, finally leading to the viral presence of Congolese singer Awilo Longomba within the country’s shores.

Another example is The Azonto sound which originated from Ghana and found its way into the Nigerian airwaves in the 2010s and had artists producing songs tailored to the sound.

While it’s not certain how Amapiano sound got into Nigeria, but social media and streaming platforms have a role to play in the popularity of the sound.

The sound started taking shape in Nigeria after Mayorkun dropped “Of Lagos” in the month of April 2020.

Then, music producer, Kiddominant dropped “EWallet” a collaboration with South African act, Cassper Nyovest in May and another music producer, Masterkraft dropping the Flavour-assisted “Equipment” in June.

It wasn’t too long when other artists like Rema and Niniola dropped “Woman” and “Addicted” respectively in the month of July.

At this time, the sound was at its baby steps in the Nigerian music Industry.

However, in the 4th quarter of 2020, it was evident that Amapiano was already becoming the trending sound in the Industry.

Davido wasn’t left out of the craze as his 2020 album, “A Better Time” contained three different Amapiano songs, “Heaven“, “I Have a friend” featuring Mayorkun and Sho Madjozi and “La La” featuring Ckay.

Other songs lie “Require” by DJ Tunez and Olamide, “Highway” by DJ Kaywise and Phyno, “Hallelu” by Masterkraft, Zlatan and Bella Shmurda, “Inumidun” by Skales, “Squander” by Falz and Niniola among others were dropped in the late part of 2020.

The popularity of these songs trickled into 2021 which witnessed a boom of more Amapiano songs. In fact, at some point, it felt like every artist was producing Amapiano inspired songs.

Except for a few other songs, Amapiano songs became the dominating songs on the airwaves.

Pan-African collaborations like that of Focalistic and Davido on the remix of “Ke Star“, “Coming” by Naira Marley and Busiswa among others have aided in the popularity of the sound.

South Africa and Nigeria connection

It would be a surprise to many to know that Amapiano isn’t the first South African sound to have Nigerian artists jumping on it. For example, the Shaku Shaku craze that once dominated the Industry can be traced back to South Africa.

In fact, one of Shaku Shaku’s earliest proponents, “Legbegbe” by Mr Real has its roots in Gqom- the House variant that combines SA folk with bombastic, Techno-indented bassline.

• RELATED: Major League Djz: The duo that understands the power of Amapiano sounds
• RELATED: De Mthuda, Kwiish SA, Mr JazziQ, DBN Gogo, Focalistic, and others perform the best amapiano

This song alongside other similarly styled bangers like “Oshozondi” and “Shepeteri”, led the Shaku Shaku wave that has now become foundational to Nigerian street-hop music today.

Through constant innovation, the sound has mutated and evolved into several dimensions.

This is also the same case in Amapiano. However, unlike Gqom which elements could be manipulated to give a different sound, Amapiano is a lot more complex due to its musical specificity.

The subgenre’s sonic make-up is so distinct that it’s obvious when it’s been adopted, and retooling causes such severe alterations that it can no longer be classified as Amapiano.

It doesn’t imply that the sound is limited; rather, it emphasizes how distinctive it is.

The talented Nigerian outstanding singer, songwriter, and recording artist, Oniyide Azeez, popularly known as Zinoleesky, has revealed why he featured DMW superstar Mayorkun and South African vocalist Busiswa on the remix of his mega-hit ‘Kilofeshe.’

The interview was shared via Youtube on Wednesday, the 3rd of November 2021.

In an interview with CloutAfrica, the Marlian music singer revealed that he had always wanted to feature Mayorkun on a song.

According to him, after releasing the smashing amapiano tune “Kilofeshe,” a couple of his friends advised him to put Geng hitmaker (who was on a killing feature run at the time) on the song’s remix, so he reached out to the Mayor of Lagos for the remix.

When asked why Busiswa from South Africa was included in the song, Zino simply replied that the remix required someone with an original amapiano sound, as the genre is dominated by South Africans.

In addition, the 25-year-old artist stated in the interview that he would prefer to write a new song than re-record an existing one.

He also assured his fans that he will keep releasing successful tunes for them to enjoy.

Zinoleesky has been reinventing the sound of street pop music over the little frame of his career on mainstream pop music in the Nigerian music industry.

Oniyide Azeez popularly known as Zinoleesky is a Nigerian singer, songwriter, and record producer.

Soulful singer Zinoleesky emerged as a new voice in Nigeria’s street music scene in 2019 and was signed to a label within a year.

Zinoleesky broke through in his native Nigeria with the 2019 single “Popo,” which addressed social inequity.

His rise to fame began when Kizz Daniel Watched one of his freestyles video to his single “Fvck You” and showed interest by following him on Instagram and also promised to do a collabo with him

In December 2019, he signed to Marlian Music Label owned by a Nigerian renowned singer, rapper, and songwriter Naira Marley after allegedly turning down a deal from DMW label.

He is affiliated with secondary school friends and musical colleagues, Ibradosky and Lil Frosh

Zinoleesky gradually infiltrates the music industry around 2019 after performing at Marlian fest at Eko hotel, 2020 he released his single titled ‘Caro’ featuring his label boss Naira Marley, which also serves as his lead single to his debut Six (6) tracks EP titled ‘Chrome‘

• RELATED: Blaqbonez, a Proof there’s still hope for Hip-hop in Nigeria

After the release of ‘Caro’ featuring Naira Marley, in the same span of the calendar, Zinoleesky strikes yet again with a visual to his supported single titled ‘Mapariwo’ off the EP ‘Chrome‘ and inspired with an edge of facet in his musical style.

The track encapsulates the love story and became his biggest breakout song prior to Rexxie‘s produced track ‘Caro’ featuring Naira Marley

The song charted on several radio stations in Lagos and across Nigeria, introducing him to a wider audience, especially other parts of Nigeria aside from Lagos.

The journey of consistency doesn’t end with just one hit single, meaning that an artist has to repeatedly drop a hit song to be able to solidify the spot.

In December 2020, Zinoleesky released his much-anticipated visuals for yet another lead single titled ‘Kilofeshe’ an amapiano infused sound off his debut EP ‘Chrome’ (Eccentric), which in turn is getting much recognition and connecting the dots of consistency and stability.

The name is already a household name, basically, all the top giants in the Nigerian music industry have acknowledged his art and style.

In 2021, Zino cemented his position as the hottest kid as he continue to dish out hit song titled “Naira Marley,” which was produced by Niphkeys and mixed and mastered by Spirit Mix

This post appeared first on Mp3bullet.ng... Read Original post on Zinoleesky has gradually been redefining the sound of street pop music.

Mp3bullet.ng has unveiled a top 10 list of Nigerian & South African collaborations in 2021 so far.

Focalistic ft. Davido, Vigro Deep – Ke Star Remix

For this resounding Amapiano tune, Focalistic employed Davido’s vocals for a soothing remix delivery.

The original surfaced in 2020, and it became one of the hottest Amapiano songs in South Africa.

In a bid to reach a wider audience, he enlists the DMW frontman for the refix and it became a blast.

The Marlian president took us to another dimension as he served us this erotic melody.

On it, he tagged his South African associate, Busiswa for a great collaboration.

Tekno ft. Mafikizolo – Enjoy Remix

This is another superb collaboration we witnessed this year. After relishing us with the mid-tempo gbedu in 2020, Tekno decided to upgrade the sound with a remix, featuring popular SA Mafikizolo.

Again, on this remix, Tekno shows us he is boss!

Falz ft. Kamo Mphela, Mpura, Niniola, Sayfar – Squander Remix

Going by the success of the original Amapiano infused song, Falz thought to make another outstanding performance by providing a remix.

On it, he retains Ninola, and employed South African Kamo Mphela and others.

Zinoleesky ft. Mayorkun, Busiswa – Kilofeshe Remix

The Marlian Music protege Zinoleesky proved beyond doubt his worth to be in the mainstream as he unlocked the original version of this Amapiano infused jam.

Of course, for such a well-accepted tune from a fast-rising, it is paramount to have a reloaded version.

Zino, however, presented it with a feature from Mayorkun and Busiswa.

Yemi Alade ft. Mzansi Youth Choir – Rain

Off her latest project, “Empress” comes this fine track that features the Mzansi Youth Choir.

About the song, she promotes the African culture in a glorious way, as she takes a toll on the late Majek Fashek’s rhythm.

Rexxie ft. Mohbad, Sho Madjozi – Ko Por Ke (KPK Remix)

This is another groovy collaboration that has been on the top 10 radar since its inception.

The glorious KPK by Rexxie certainly got the best remix as he tagged Sho Madjozi and retained his vocalist, Mohbad.

Here are the Top Collaborations between Nigerian Artists and other African artists Of 2021 So Far.

Ke Star remix- Focalistic ft Davido

Although this song wasn’t Davido’s first time on an Amapiano beat, this is his sweetest. Focalistic who had been dominating South Africa with “Ke Star” featured Davido on the remix early in the year, and the end result is nothing short of perfection.

Davido’s verse made the song a hit not just in Nigeria but in South Africa also.

Yaba Bukulu remix- DJ Tarico, Preck & Nelson Tivane ft Burna Boy

Burna Boy is one of the best choices for a feature because he knows how to spice up a song and this is the case of “Yaba Buluku” remix.

His verse is calm but builds up tension that only dance can release.

Coming- Naira Marley ft Busiswa

Naira Marley was a genius when he created the idea for this song. In his usual freakiness, he teams up with South African powerhouse, Busiswa for the amapiano styled song, “Coming”

The song despite its very vulgar lyrics (something to be expected from Niara Marley) topped charts right from the day it was released.

Sere- Olakira ft Zuchu

Olakira was one of 2020’s biggest stars thanks to his “Maserati” song. He attempts to continue that streak with “Sere” featuring Tanzanian singer, Zuchu.

The song might not have been big like “Masarati“, it is however getting its deserved attention on the airwaves, even amassing more than 4 million views on youtube.

Squander remix- Falz, Niniola ft Kamo Mphela, Mpura, Sayfar

Falz and Niniola added the Nigerian amapiano craze with the dance anthem, “Squander” in 2020. In 2021, Falz spiced things up by featuring artists from South Africa where the sound was birthed on the remix.

Forever remix- Gyakie ft Omah Lay

Gyakie began gaining attention with her love ballad, “Forever” and it even became a big hit of Tik-Tok but when she featured Omah Lay on the remix, it became bigger. Let’s just say, Gyakie and Omah Lay ooze chemistry that made the song more lovable.
