Nqobile Danseur wants the world to understand that it’s only right to give props where it’s due without compromising the original version.
The renowned dancer who had worked with Davido, Maleek Berry, Drake, Diamond Platnumz and so many other internationally acclaimed artistes shared a few days ago why it’s wrong for everybody else calling do on the Amapiano genre which is an original sound of South Africa to the core now that it’s is global.
Apparently, there are some bunch of people who have started attaching themselves to the Amapiano sound that has been made global by Focalistic, DJ Maphorisa, and others starting to add something on top of the original sound saying that it’s their sound.
For starters, everybody knows that Amapiano sound is a Mzansi sound just as Bongo Flava is a Tanzanian sound as much as Afrobeats, Afrofusion, and Highlife is predominantly a Nigerian sound so it’s rather futile for anybody to start changing the originality of the Amapiano genre.

That’s why Nqobile Danseur, a South African citizen was shocked to learn how some group of people is starting to add some names on top of Amapiano claiming that it’s their sound. Nqobile who recently released her debut solo single wasn’t having any of it.
He took to social media to call out t everyone who is trying to pull down the power of Amapiano sound that has seen other artistes like Harmonize jumping on its bandwagon releasing two originals under the genre’s banner.
“There’s nothing such as “Afro Piano” or “Naija Amapiano”. Amapiano is AMAPIANO! A SOUTH AFRICAN SOUND FROM SOUTH AFRICA. Now leave it alone and allow South Africans to enjoy their things!! ffs” she shared on Twitter.
Nqobile wants Amapiano originality to remain intact as it should be without compromising its roots whatsoever.
She’s totally right on this one.
