@acendnz: 09: GENRES IN KPOP — AFROBEATS and AMAPIANO | Afrobeats is a genre that originated in West Africa, particularly Nigeria and Ghana, during the 2000s. It is known for its vibrant percussion, melodic vocals, catchy hooks, and influences from African pop, hip-hop, dancehall, and R&B. The focus is often on rhythm, melody, and songwriting, making it both danceable and easy to sing along to. Amapiano is a genre that originated in Black townships of South Africa during the 2010s. It is characterized by deep piano melodies, atmospheric pads, log drum basslines, and slower, groove-focused rhythms. Unlike Afrobeats, Amapiano emphasizes its instrumental groove and bass-driven production, creating a more laid-back yet hypnotic dance experience. REMINDER: THEY ARE NOT THE SAME. — author’s note: Here’s the most awaited afrobeats / amapiano videoo! To be honest, this was a very hard video to make since there were A LOT of misconceptions regarding the songs being amapiano or afrobeat, like Smart of LSRFM, some said it was an afrobeat track but after thorough research and endless listening to other genres, its actually considered as an amapiano track! This goes to all songs mentioned in this video, I had to do lots of research about the genre and its background, and hopefully, my information is correct :D If I have made any mistakes, feel free to correct me! You can also drop other songs that you know with these genres in the comments! Thank you so much for 94K followers and 4.6M likess! Love yall sm! #fyp #kpop #genre #afrobeat #amapiano
