Efya, a famous Ghanaian singer, asserts that she created the well-known Amapiano genre in South Africa and meanwhile, Unquestionably, South Africa is where the genre originated, and there is a documentary on its history. Some SA piano performers have even discussed the sound and its origins in interviews.

The singer firmly asserted that she and DJ Tunez founded the amapiano genre in a recent interview with Adesope on the Afrobeats Podcast.

“I would say Tunez and I started the amapiano thing when we did that first tape in 2019. Before Covid, Tunez and I started making that kind of sound and then we kept going, then South Africans. There have been so many things I’ve been involved in,” she said.

There is no way this lady started amapiano, responded Maero, co-founder of MFR Souls in response to the claim. She might wish to become famous, but it is impossible. People are aware that amapiano originates from South Africa.

“Amapiano is a mix of kwaito and deep house, and kwaito is a South African genre. And even the origins of kwaito are from South Africa. So, as I said, there’s no way a Ghanaian musician came up with amapiano,” said.

“When we started the genre didn’t have a name because it wasn’t a familiar sound. It just was keys and no vocals and then people started calling amapiano.”
