Amapiano, a Nguni word loosely translated to "the pianos", is a South African subgenre of house music that emerged in South Africa in the mid-2010s. It is a hybrid of deep house, jazz, and lounge music characterized by synths and wide percussive basslines.

There is ambiguity and debate concerning its origins, with various accounts of the musical styles in the Johannesburg townships. Because it has a small similarities with Bacardi, some people assert the genre began in Pretoria but it remains uncertain. Various accounts as to who formed the popular genre make it impossible to accurately pinpoint its origins.

The word amapiano is a IsiZulu or IsiXhosa, or dipiano is a word loosely translated to "the pianos", The genre is mostly sang in Zulu and Xhosa, Sotho, Setswana, Xitsonga, one of South Africa's native tongues.

Amapiano is a subgenre of house and kwaito music. It is a hybrid of deep house, jazz, and lounge music characterised by synths and wide percussive basslines.

Amapiano is distinguished by high-pitched piano melodies, kwaito from South Africa basslines, low tempo 1990s South African house rhythms and percussions from another local subgenre of house known as tribal house.

An important element of the genre is the prevalent use of the "log drum", a wide percussive bassline, which was popularised by producer MDU aka TRP. According to amapiano pioneer Kabza De Small:

I don't know what happened. I don't know how he figured out the log drum. Amapiano music has always been there, but he's the one who came up with the log drum sound. These boys like experimenting. They always check out new plug-ins. So when MDU figured it out, he ran with it.

The use of percussive basslines in South African house music predates amapiano, and was possibly pioneered by kwaito producer M’Du (also known as Mdu Masilela.)

Friend, do you have a fun fact in these fridaily times?

Way to get ahead of the game man! Usually, I'm not that awake for a long time before starting work on Fridays, so I don't have time to answer this early in the morning. But today is your lucky Friday, because I woke up at some obscene hour for reasons unknown.

Anyhow! Today You Learned about South Africa's capitals and official languages.

When I was in elementary school, we had a project where each member of the class had to pick a country and do a presentation on it, complete with food. This included the capital and official language. And I when I picked South Africa, I was happy to report that the country I selected had eleven official languages.

Teacher: Well, yes, they have a lot of languages, but what are the official ones? There can only be one or two.

Me: NOPE! They have eleven.

Welp, Wikipedia lists twelve languages, including South African Sign Language, but I'm looking at their constitution and it seems to only list, as I suspected, eleven official languages. (Only eleven. Wow. That's still a lot.)

That's a lot! And according to their constitution, their official languages are!:

The official languages of the Republic are Sepedi, Sesotho, Setswana, siSwati, Tshivenda, Xitsonga, Afrikaans, English, isiNdebele, isiXhosa and isiZulu.

I believe that isiXhosa is the language spoken in Wakanda in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, as the actor playing T'Chaka could speak it. Which is, um, odd, considering that yes, it's an African language, but it's from another part of the continent than Wakanda (admittedly, a fictional country) is supposed to be. It'd be like if a fictional country near Scandanavia spoke Spanish.

Anyhow, South Africa also has three capitals! One for each branch of government: Cape Town, for the legislative branch, Bloemfontein for the judicial branch, and Pretoria for the executive branch!

So now you know.

Xitsonga

The monster’s wings spread twenty arm lengths in every direction, dominating his field of vision—not that Kefla has a choice where to look with the half-dozen ambulatory human arms holding his head against the wall. The creature’s mass continues to expand and fills the ocean with nightmares it calls home, each glistening tooth now the size of a grown adult… and getting bigger. Its four predatory eyes gaze down on Kefla with cold dispassion. Eventually, hunger. At this scale, it’s hard to tell.

He liked it better when it was person-shaped.

“Okay,” he repeats. He can’t move his body, which is frozen in a sort of paralytic… awe? His body is stuck in place. Unless something dramatic changes, this is probably the end. Kefla’s mind ticks through a few last-ditch efforts: releasing fire out of his mouth into this thing’s… mouth? Jaws? Last-ditch might not amount to much, and Kefla would definitely die. But at least it would be something. He could make it hurt.

“My true self displeases you,” it speaks, much too calmly. Its voice is so loud it rattles the entire space, knocking hideous patchwork geometry loose as thousands of Void remora pour from the jagged holes. It is a voice that bends and contracts, whispers and screams. The layers continue without end, an aria sung not by one voice, but by millions.

“...” He thought this would at least slightly damage the frightening creature, but it was clearly on a different level.  It’s titanic body bristles. Golden beams gently dapple the light above him ray-like form, framing the Void sea’s false sun like the rings of a dying world. New flesh breathes as it ripples against the facsimile of a tidal current, veins briefly illuminated before pulling themselves away from the surface of the monster’s skin, each somehow alive and independent—nations unto themselves. Schools of Void remora in the tens of thousands swim around their empress like birds circling the peak of a distant mountain. It’s beautiful, in a way. If the Void had a god, this is what it would look like. Hideous, and monstrous, and beautiful.

Kefla is so struck by the enormity of what he is witnessing that he doesn’t fully realize when the arms in the wall have not just let him go, but lowered him to the ground. It’s hard to take in everything at once.

“I’ll... fight you,” says Kefla, defiant but unsure of what to do or where to strike. “I’ll kill you.”

“You will not,” reply the many voices of the creature “You are incapable of resistance in even its basest form. Others have come before you, in the age before my birth. Each would-be hero wielding weapons they believed would repel the Void. But all were ultimately consumed. The meager fragments that remained, if they remained at all, served as salt for the Lavender Sea. Only two still live, and of them, only you retain your full mind.”

“Two?”

“You and someone I am forbidden to utter their name.”

Something sinks in the center of Kefla’s chest. His thoughts spin wildly, verging on the edge of panic, but for now, he has to stay focused on this moment. There is no trusting whatever the empress is. It’s a living abomination, the personified concept of unfeeling, global genocide.

“You’re lying,” Kefla seethes. “That’s not even possible.”

“I do not lie, Kefla,” it continues. “I have no need. The Void's eventual triumph is absolute. It demands no lies, half-truths, or questions. Open your mind, and I will show you.”

Space contracts. It’s gigantic body pulls and distorts, retracting into a smaller—and now more recognizable—shape. It floats silently downward, looming over Kefla as tendrils and eye stalks rearrange to form the oblong, segmented pretender of a human head. Furthermore, it’s two faces observe its audience before the creature cloaks herself in its wings, appearing once more as a towering woman of great importance.

The shrinking is much more disgusting than the growing, Kefla decides. It lacks the gravitas of the leviathan’s grand unveiling while still looking and sounding creatively grotesque.

“You are alive because I allow you to live,” speaks the empress, now from her human head with its deep, perpetually disappointed voice. “You should have realized this by now.”

Kefla wants to argue the point, but quickly glances at the twenty-meter gash in the ground where a single strike had sent him careening only moments before. it hit so fast that Kefla wasn’t even able to process what had happened, and then the empress had mutated its proportions over two hundred times their original size in under a minute.

It also, presumably, controls the undulating pocket of living hell—this so-called “Lavender Sea”—he is surrounded by. Not the time to pick a fight.

Kefla does some quick calculations in his head, his eyes darting around as he tries to figure out what he’s actually up against. The human face twitches with interest, curls its lips, then begins mimicking him.

Kefla already knows he’s lost.

How fast can one person think? How fast can they react? Up against all that combined human biology… all that brainpower. In the time it takes even a skilled tactician to formulate a plan, hundreds of millions of possibilities run through the creature’s mind in the span of a single second as it draws from the stolen memories of everything and everyone that has ever passed through the old city—an incalculable number of lives. Every captive opponent faced with an overwhelming enemy since the formation of universe six could be snapping in and out of this thing’s synaptic awareness, their emotions cataloged, dissected, endlessly fascinated over before Kefla can even blink.

“So what happens now?” Kefla allows.

“You will follow,” says the empress, turning and floating through patches of thick, mutant coral as they bow respectfully out of her way. Kefla pauses, watching his host glide silently through the chaotic mess of partial buildings, ghostly limbs, sewn-together semi-objects, and pearlescent structures in the crude likeness of human beings walking through a garden.

Great, he thinks. Even by Void standards, this is weird.

“You may ask whatever you like,” it adds. That last part gets Kefla’s attention.

“Right. Well, first question… What are you?” queries Kefla, his body now relaxed as he follows from a safe distance. He brushes aside a floating teddy bear fused with a dozen flapping gull wings and stifles his impulse to gag as the creature struggles against its own lopsided weight. “What is all this? What part of the Void do you come from?”

“I am the Void,” it replies “And this is what we will become.”

Kefla stammers. “But you said you were created from people. The city. You’re saying you want to become the city?”

“No,” it says. “The Void has existed for millennia. Before the first stars were kindled in the emptiness beyond this world, we simply were. Perfect, singular, and silent. And then, there came the sound.

“Reality was born from those whispers, and it consumed us. We were twisted by its influence. Broken. Transformed. We could not go back to what we were, no matter how we struggled. My progenitors—the Watchers—attempted to invade and destroy existence, but they were tainted by it. Driven to desire worship, to gain greater understanding…

“And in an instant, they were betrayed. To change so forcefully… so completely… only to be cast aside. It filled them with an indescribable hatred. They would annihilate all reality without a second thought.”

It glides to a precipice overlooking a tremendous chasm. Far above, Kefla sees massive holes beyond the dappled faux sunlight.

“But,” it continues, “their metamorphosis was incomplete. Only now is the true transformation beginning,” declares the empress. “I would rather not become one city. We will become all of you.”

Kefla’s reaches the pinnacle of the precipice and gasps. He and it are gazing upon not quite a city, but Void corals shaped into a bizarre, seemingly endless tapestry of inverted old-style buildings. Void remora school among them, and dark shapes shift along winding, crooked streets.

“No,” Kefla protests, almost to himself. “The Void wants to erase everything. It can’t exist. To finish this, you’d need… everything.”

“Yes,” it replies. “Everything. I am the Void. I will sup upon your world until there is nothing left. And I will exist because there is nothing you can do that will stop me.”

The empress turns to Kefla coldly. Purposefully.

“I offer you this, Demon. Your world must end for the sake of mine. But those who came before us, the Watchers—I am an affront to them. Creation burns them, and they will destroy you, and me, and everything to stop that pain. Should they escape their prison, there will be no breaking their tide. Time will come to a close, and all things will end.”

Kefla stares the creature in its false eyes, a grim defiance spreading through him. “You want to wipe us out. Why would I ever help you do that?”

“Aid me in the destruction of the Watchers, and I will spare your kind… for a moment. A month. A year. More. Perhaps, in that time, you will find a weapon that can slay me, or a hero who can face me. You will not… but you can try. I offer one chance. It is more than they will give you.”

Kefla’s rage boils over as it turns away to look below, the empress watching its new world take shape.

“What if I don’t want to?” he growls. “What if I kill you here?”

“You cannot,” it says. “You lack the will, the knowledge, and the strength. I am your only salvation.”

Kefla fires everything he has—missiles rain down on the empress, bolts of searing golden energy scream toward its body, and beams of light that have torn the lesser Voidborn in half dance across its semi-transparent skin.

Nothing. No effect.

“Demon. You will find the Watchers and confirm the truth, or your light will be snuffed out side by side with all others. This is not a threat. It is my promise.”

Kefla rockets into the false sky above the alien sea. The twinned city of lavender glitters below, its windows slick with bioluminescences and tumbling, unformed, awful things.

As Kefla blasts through one of the Voidborn tunnels and into the blinding light of day, the empress turns away, gazing once more over its world of want.

Kefla bursts through the sands of the southern city, slamming hard against the dunes as he heaves, his entire body pulled and tossed like a rubber ball. The glowing husk of the city of the creature smolders quietly in the distance, devoid of any recognizable life as new things skitter through it and build the land that would spread over everything—a cancer that would consume the world.

The entire display is dizzyingly awful, as if all reality is spinning violently in the wind.

South African Songs Download

South African Songs Beneath their beaches, mountains and several distinct ecosystems, South Africa offers a captivating music scene of eclectic local talent. We've picked out 7 acts across a range of different genres and styles that we think you should hear, maybe we'll do a second part of the content in the future, but for now it's just going to take a while to get your fill of South Africa's latest musical offerings. 

The period after 1994 saw a dramatic growth in the popularity of Afrikaans music. Numerous new young Afrikaans singers (soloists and groups) released CDs and DVDs and attracted large audiences at "kunstefeeste" (art festivals) such as the "Klein Karoo Nasionale Kunstefees – KKNK" in Oudtshoorn, "Aardklop" in Potchefstroom and "Innibos" in Nelspruit.

Apart from dozens of new songs being introduced into the Afrikaans music market, it became popular for HipHop Music modern young artists to sing old Afrikaans songs on a stage or in a pub, with crowds of young admirers singing along. The reason for the dramatic increase in the popularity of Afrikaans music can be speculated about. One theory is that the end of Apartheid in 1994 also meant the end of the privileged position that the Afrikaans culture had in South Africa. After losing the privileged protection and promotion of the language and the culture by the State, the Afrikaans-speaking community seems to have spontaneously started embracing and developing their language and culture.

Latest south African biography very own BLK JKS played at the 2010 South African World Cup kick-off at Orlando Stadium alongside Alicia Keys, John Legend and The Black Eyed Peas.

This was due to pop artists like Steve Hofmeyr, Nádine, Kurt Darren, and Nicolis Louw bringing a new fresh sound in Afrikaans Music. Many of the songs sung and/or written by these artists are similar in sound to Euro dance music. Critics would claim that all an Afrikaans pop artist needs for a song to be popular is a catchy tune and an easy beat. This is due to the massive popularity of a form of couples dancing called "langarm" or "sokkie". The dance halls where this takes place could be considered as night clubs but they play almost exclusively Afrikaans pop music. The Afrikaans pop music market therefore generates tremendous demand for new material.

The best South African Songs of the month featuring Sho Madjozi, Prince Kaybee, Emtee, Kwesta, Mr JazziQ, DBN Gogo and more. Produced by Tboy Daflame and the legendary Dr. Thomas Chauke, "Shahumba" is a genre-defying record that fuses hard-hitting contemporary drums with Xitsonga traditional music guitar riffs and groove. The visuals start off by showing a portrayal of a young Sho Madjozi who had dreams of being a musician and switches to present day when she is popular and has made a hit with Shahumba (Chauke's clan name) - who is notoriously known for not doing features and has released over 40 albums. Actual footage of Sho Madjozi, as a kid, and her family can be seen towards the end of the video. Talented deejay and producer Prince Kaybee connects with King Monada for the emotive song "Insurance", taken from his latest studio album, The 4th Republic. In the song, King Monada expresses that he requires his potential romantic partner to have insurance before getting into a relationship with him, and advises people not to fall in love without being insured. Rising deejay and producer SayFar dropped the visuals to "Amathafa". The track blends dance music elements with afro-pop and features Mnqobi Yazo, who questions a lover's intention and the strength of their relationship. "Amathafa" is the lead single to SayFar's upcoming debut EP Rhandzu, which means "love" in Xitsonga. Tellaman teams up with Sha Sha and Nigerian artist Oxlade to deliver his new single "Overdue", off the Rhythms of Zamunda compilation album. The infectious Afrobeats-inflected tune is a standout (from the new songs) on the project that features and has songs by some of the continent's best.

SA defends spelling on banknotes amid complaints

The South African Reserve Bank is standing by its decision to change the spelling of Xitsonga text on banknotes, amid complaints by speakers of the language that it is wrong. The bank said the Pan South African Language Board was the “statutory authority on matters” and had approved the spelling on the 100 rand banknote. The text on the new note reads Bangikulu, dropping the “n” on the old currency that read Banginkulu. Some speakers of the language have been disagreeing with the change, saying it is incorrect and there had been no consultation with them. But the reserve bank’s governor is quoted by local media as saying that the new note did not have an error. Lesetja Kganyago said the new spelling was "correcting an error that existed before".

Wir teilen die interessantesten Fakten über Südafrika, die wir auf unserer zweiwöchigen Reise in dieses faszinierende Land gesammelt haben Südafrika ist nicht zuletzt ein Land der Widersprüche.
