Afrohouse & Amapiano Free Party

An electronic dance night at Night Tales in London, billed as an Afrohouse and Amapiano Free Party, bringing together two dance styles rooted in South African music.

Afrohouse and amapiano are two closely related strands of South African dance music. Amapiano, which emerged in South Africa in the 2010s, is built on log-drum basslines and piano chords at a tempo of around 110 to 115 beats per minute. Afrohouse draws on house music's four-to-the-floor pulse and blends it with percussion and vocal traditions from across the African continent.

The event is billed as an Afrohouse & Amapiano Free Party, combining both styles in one night of electronic dance music. Night Tales, the London venue hosting it, presents concerts and shows, and this evening is aimed at anyone who wants to dance to the grooves of both genres.
