We can't get enough of the viral and ever evolving South African house subgenre, Amapiano. It's a deeply sensual genre that can be enjoyed in a variety of settings. In this episode, DeVault presents the journey of amapiano to Nigeria. Tobi and Muna discuss the history of amapiano, the various musical collaborations that existed between Nigeria and South Africa pre-amapiano, the origins of 'Naijapiano' and the future of Nigerian music post-naijapiano.  

Episode Note: *Correction*  Amapiano simply means piano in Zulu and it gained traction organically through ride-shares as mentioned in the episode. Its also important to note that amapiano is predominantly performed in Zulu and Xhosa. Wizkid's Amapiano feature ‘Need you tonight’ is indeed on Kabza de Small’s, I Am The King of Amapiano. Fuse ODG’s Azonto was released in 2014 not 2010/11 as mentioned in the episode. The portable type music we were referring to that usually feature the likes of DJ YK Mule is called Cruise beats.
