This is the biggest UK tour of its kind for Amapiano which is the hottest sound to have emerged from South Africa.
Kicking off on the 5th March at London’s Ministry of Sound for the UK’s biggest Amapiano takeover headlined by DJ Maphorisa. The hit-making DJ/producer from South Africa who has produced Amapiano, house and Afro-Pop bangers will also be joined by rising star Uncle Waffles.
Uncle Waffles is the most recent viral sensation to come out of Southern Africa. A clip of her DJ set went viral late last year and has now amassed 4.5 million views on Twitter and also secured her a follow from Drake on Instagram.
She embodies the freedom and liberation many have found through Amapiano and is sure to deliver an amazing show in her debut UK tour.
After delivering what was sure to be a show stopping performance the pair will be heading to Birmingham and Manchester where Afrobeats Superstar Davido will be headlining the Champion Sound tour with special guest South African rapper Focalistic.
This is a momentous occasion for afro electronic music, a genre that is often overlooked and underrepresented. Two Amapiano stars take over Ministry of Sound London (5th March) and then also support Davido at the Birmingham Forum (11th March) and Manchester’s O2 Victoria Warehouse (12th March).
This is truly a moment in African music history.
What is Amapiano?
Amapiano is one of the freshest sounds out of South Africa. It is a hybrid of deep house, jazz and lounge music but gains it’s originality through the pairing of the kwaito bassline and African log drum.
