Afroyano will focus on a vibrant mix of Afrohouse, Amapiano, Soulful House, and Qgom music, catering to an audience who loves music, dance, and celebrating the spirit of sound and dance culture. Here’s a brief explanation of the genres we will feature:
• Afrohouse: A fusion of traditional African rhythms and percussion with deep basslines and soulful melodies, offering a rhythmic groove that incorporates African vocal samples and instruments.
• Amapiano: A popular South African genre combining deep house, jazz, and lounge music with piano-driven sound, syncopated rhythms, and laid-back beats, creating a vibrant and energetic atmosphere.
• Soulful House: Known for its rich, melodic, and smooth elements, soulful house blends gospel, funk, and jazz with house music, creating a warm, uplifting vibe with deep, soulful grooves and emotional vocal performances.
• Qgom: A hard-hitting genre from South Africa, Qgom is defined by its bass-heavy beats, minimalistic yet intense production, and raw energy, perfect for an energetic and lively dance floor environment.
Afroyano brings together a select group of skilled DJs from Ireland and the UK for an exciting and friendly DJ clash. This event celebrates the rich sounds of Afrohouse and Amapiano, providing a platform for DJs to demonstrate their expertise in seamlessly mixing and blending these vibrant genres. Through this showcase, Afroyano aims to highlight local talent, foster community connections, and elevate the appreciation of Afrobeat-inspired music across the region.
