South Africa has a well-known flair for developing its own musical genres: from the catchy tunes of Kwaito to the heady jams of โ€˜Gqomโ€™, December anthems are almost always home-grown. Now, the distinctive lock-drum hook and irresistible sounds of Amapiano are taking centre stage. Itโ€™s a genre with a massive following both locally and internationally, but here at home, Amapiano isnโ€™t just a music sensation, itโ€™s a lifestyle. So, whatโ€™s behind the rise of the so-called โ€œYanosโ€? Carte Blanche heads into the studio booth. Your favourite episodes are now available on Carte Blanche: The Podcast: https://bit.ly/PodcastCB
