do we need a video for the "Ke Star" remix? I think we do:

Not sold on this yet - the original is pretty much perfect and some of Davido's shadings seem eh unnecessary - but let's see how this plays out anyway.

it’s interesting to me as a sign of the times (#1 in Naija and all that) - and I think the video is super fun

ILM keeps very little track of all the great amapiano stuff that continues to come out on a weekly basis (both tracks and albums) - here’s two gorgeous new tracks I’m enjoying today: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kd--jo6PLrgMapara A Jazz ft. Mr Brown • Feelinghttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOC4e-Yx9j0Sayfar ft. Musa Keys, Seekay, Makhanj & Optimist Music • Ithuba Lam🎹🎹🎹“Paris” by Q-Mark & TpZee ft. Afriikan Papi & Cloud9ne, which came out in October, has become a sleeper hit in South Africa, very deservingly so.enjoy the video:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ORCCxt1xlLI…but it misses crucial sections, so you’ll absolutely need to listen to the full version:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQPutytnnYk

…but this TikTok monster, for better or for worse, is the track that has probably done more than any other in bringing amapiano (and its name) to the world:https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lnZTVUUwgpYGoya Menor & Nektunez • Ameno Amapiano (Remix) (You Wanna Bamba)shock horror, there’s nothing South African about it, it’s a Ghanaian-Nigerian coproduction

It's really tacky. I heard it shopping for second-hand baby clothes because it clearly found its way on some dumb-named spotify playlists, and I heard the two female sellers exchanging views on it (one positive, one negative), both evidently having no idea what it is they were hearing. I resisted nerdsplaining as I dropped some cute white ensemble in our shopping basket.

not nearly enough amapiano action on ILM, but I’m hoping this poll I created might get the amapiano party started again, because we’re seriously logging… lagging behind. here’s your invitation - I hope you will all participate:drowning in a blissful ocean of log drums and keys: 🎹🎹 amapiano a-z 🎹🎹 an ilm poll

Thanks! But some guy called Tracer already posted a youtube link to it 3 posts before you did.

Want something major ?

― Nabozo, Saturday, 19 November 2022 14:07 (one year ago) link
Otherwise I really think the big thing that was released lately is this DJ Maphorisa & Visca album Ba Straata featuring some of the big names.
― Nabozo, Saturday, 19 November 2022 14:13 (one year ago) link
sure, that’s a big one, but it’s not nearly as outstanding as Kabza’s KOA II Part 1. thing is, there’s a plethora of good piano albums (with many also featuring said big names!), too many for one person to fully digest really, and with the festive December summer season ahead they continue dropping like flies. recent-ish ones I like a lot include Piano Over Poverty by Kweyama Brothers, Horumar by Murumba Pitch (also their earlier collaborative Obrigado with Da Muziqal Chef), Ghost by Sir Trill, Two Sides Of My Story by MDU aka TRP, and Big And Small, Vol. 1 by Fiso el Musica.

oops, it’s actually Fiso el Musica x Thee Exclusives!
― big movers, hot steppers + long shaker intros (breastcrawl), Monday, 21 November 2022 20:07 (one year ago) link
and big name-producer-wise there’s also recent projects by Mr JazziQ and Busta 929, as well as Mellow & Sleazy’s Barcadi Fest.
