The Tsonga people (Tsonga: Vatsonga) are a Bantu ethnic group primarily native to Southern Mozambique and South Africa (Limpopo and Mpumalanga). They speak Xitsonga, a Southern Bantu language. A very small number of Tsonga people are also found in Zimbabwe and Northern Eswatini. The Tsonga people of South Africa share some history with the Tsonga people of Southern Mozambique, and have similar cultural practices, but differ in the dialects spoken.

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.)

@ anyone from northern South Africa, Zimbabwe, eSwatini, Mozambique

do you know the "monkey orange" sometimes also called "Natal orange" or "nsala" in Xitsonga. there are a few varieties of this fruit all in the genus Strychnos. we don't get them as far south as Cape Town and I'm just wondering how common they are : like could you get them at Spar or Pick n Pay, or maybe Food Lovers. or at a more specialised farmers' market. or do you have to go out into the bush to find them ?

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.

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

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".
