There’s a new kind of music from South Africa that’s got everyone talking. It was born in the country’s deep house and jazz music scene about 10 years ago. It’s called Amapiano - and it’s a genre that lends itself to collaboration between artists -- a collaboration that has helped spread the word. What’s more, artists are expressing themselves in their own native languages. In the next edition of Africa Daily - Alan Kasujja asks: could Amapiano be the sound of the year?
