What is Amapiano Music and How To Make It!

groovy genre. good tutorial.

Your track is a banger - you should release it!

IDK if I can trust a white english person to teach us about mapiano

Your head is there

Thanks a ton bro. This is the first amapiano tutorial I’ve seen in ableton. Love from Ghana 🇬🇭

Well done! Yes, the commonest bpm at the moment is 112, and the guys to learn from are obviously the Scorpion Kings--Kabza and Maphorisa. Amapiano is eclectic: there's SA jazz (the pianos obviously, but also sax), kwaito beats, a bit of tribal, local vocals, and the ever-present background of house. It does seem important though to avoid the heavy kick drum of house and if you use 4/4 to not make it too obvious. Amampiano also has this neat trick of suddenly dropping the beat or slowing down before returnig to the main groove.

116 bpm is a bit fast...

Thanks man thats good work

how do I find the "Warble Rhythem Noise Pad"

South Africa is a fascist nest. Not a big fan of anything coming from there.

Thank you for actually going in-depth on this, using theory terms I can understand cuz it's been hard tryna decipher between everything. I like it a lot and hope to make some in the future

new sub! Keep doing tuts on new music styles :)

Where is the link for the log drum

great thank you! is there an option for ableton 10 live for log drums?

Great tutorial. Btw, that Jay Music tune sound a lot like GQOM to me, it's somewhere betweeb that and Amapiano. I love both so that's a really cool tune.

Amapiano to the world!

Really appreceated this tut man. Bought the log bass coz of you!

From the Motherland, nicely done Will.

loved this vibe!

Great video once again. Normally I come to you for lofi advice. But always love to discover new things.
Especially when it's a video from you.
Peace!

Wow recently made a ableton logdrum device for ableton! How cool, thanks for the video!

If you have arturia analog lab v you can find the log drum in the Roland DX7 instrument (the best sounding), that is of course you don't use FL and cannot access the Fruity DX10.

Loved this video Will. You definitely nailed this production

This is a vibe

Great work bro. The only downside of making amapiano (also called the yanos' here at home 😂) overseas is that you can only find the best singers of the genre here at home in Africa.

Nice one Will! always interesting...

Cool video. Introduced me to new music and showed how to make it. Perfect 5/7 video

You’re the best
