bro I've always hated how producers not from south Africa butchered this genre because they just Listen to some few hits and start producing.. when they start laying some logdrums it's like they just hit the randomiser and quick chop some few Notes .. i really appreciate Ed because brody actually did some research.. this is the best amapiano vid from a non South Africa that's actually good 👍
Many people are jumping on the wave, they make garbage. But because Tyla is the de facto leader of amapiano, they believe that what she makes is 100% amapiano. I still don't think Ed did justice. ASK YOURSELF, would this track play at Meet Meat in DK?
@@beautifulcaramelmanyeah this feels more RnB, like what Tyla does I saw some people online saying that as long there’s a logdrum you got amapiano and I said by that logic a song is rock just for having a guitar in it 🤣
Thank you for attempting this. The major difference between South African Amapiano and the rest of the world is that our chord progression uses very dark and moody chords, the log drum is often not predictable it has to keep you guessing where it will hit next, as well as all the percussion, just like jazz, it has to constantly change since the songs are typically very long and played in clubs, the final issue is the log drum key cannot be too high because it looses its low timbre, it is a bass after all.
True. I think he did a great job nonetheless. I don't think all amapiano songs follow the formula you mentioned as there are a few derivatives from the genre itself. For instance, Tyla's "Water" breaks most of those rules. And so, a genre can be approached in different ways while keeping certain commonalities that make it Amapiano. I also believe there should be a difference from Amapiano from SA and one from Italy like Ed's, just like there is one from Nigeria. The glory still points back to the source, South Africa. That versatility is the growth of a genre which started with no log drum to begin with. But not taking away from anything that you're saying.
I lived in South Africa for many years and I followed the birth of amapiano, you definitely did your research. Just want to add that Nigerian artists recently started borrowing a lot of sounds from amapiano and fused it with afrobeats, so a lot of the songs that Nigerian artists produce are still afrobeats, and are not considered amapiano in most cases.
deffinetly a private school!! as a amapiano producer from South africa im truly impressed been watching your videos for ages now but this one specifically made me feel at home,for the fact that you just took your time to get to know our music history thats amazing thank you Talenti bro.
U prolly the first person to make amapiano in Ableton 😮most amapiano melody sounds r from Fl stock plugins e.g fruity dx10 , harmless , poizone and many more
I'm from Nigeria and I am more in like the "Chill afro-beat" scene of african music but this video reminded me just how cool and energetic Amapiano is. I truly appreciate that you took the time to dive into the genre and it's origin before you start producing. MUCH LOVE❤
Love how studied everything for real. Some just listen to the songs and produce whatever. They just throw the log drum in everything and say its amapiano
Finally someone who research I recommend these songs by these artists Josiah de disciple:My Story,Violin Blues,Todays Kings,Johnny Kelvin Momo: Lately,Imfula,Overflow,Better Days Mick Man:The Son of Blanca,Raw Feelings,High fives and Izapha
I really appreciated the fact that you took the time to learn about the genre and it's origins. You've earned my utmost respect by not disrespecting the genre, culture and us as South Africans. I hope the rest of the world learns and takes something out of this video!!! ❤
Brilliant.. brilliant.. as a south african I'm startled by the effort you took to research about our genre and come up with a classic! First time seeing your channel, you've gained one more subscriber!
you are the only RU-vidr who took the time to learn and understand the genre unlike other RU-vidrs who just tried it without reference Thank you and the original Logdrum is from fruity DX10 a stock FL plugin keep up the good work
I'm from that country inside RSA... And not a big fan but a fan... Ka 'nete, you guys have reached the world, the MAFIAs are on to it... So great job, and nice song Talenti...
EdTalenti is one of my favourite ytubers/producers. Although i use Fl studio i still learn alot from this guy. Now I'm South African and this video really shocked me cause him making amapiano, came out of nowhere😂but this guy is soo good at learning genres i definitely knew he wasn't gonna dissapoint🔥🇿🇦
I just love this fucking video man- you're talented, the information about the history-background, the culture and then the end with good South African artists that represents that. 10/10 video
I really struggled with this video. As a South African and someone instrumental to Amapiano's movement into Western Markets - alot of the information in this video is wrong, and it's not your fault. The information around Amapiano and it's history is debated, and ultimately hard to research from the outside. Big media houses get the history wrong, and this is why you got it wrong. Another thing is what actually constitutes a song as amapiano is wrong. The only amapiano song that you played in the intro of the video was Tshwala Bam. Water by Tyla is NOT amapiano, that's afrobeat. The Asake song is NOT amapiano but afrobeat. This was a really good video to watch, but I'd be happy to help correct alot of the misconceptions and wrong info.
I like how what you did there. It’s interesting how you beat was moving more towards the bus nova, tropical flavor. Decadence and rhythm was definitely from the source, but you were able to transcend it into something a little bit more worldly. It was great to see, the collaboration with the other artist.
You did your homework and aced it! I do wish that you would have captured the early days of amapiano with its pioneers like @JazziDisciples and @TeamMosha for instance, and this is way before Kabza and generation of producers came in. Otherwise we love the video, love the track and please keep it coming 🙌🏾🙌🏾
Kwaito, DID NOT originate from house music, it’s actually a spin-off “mid tempo”, which originated in South Africa from UK speed garage Records that where printed at 45rpm, but then played back at 33rpm… Search “Glen Lewis - Mid Tempo 2000”, I will give you a very clear picture of Kwaito’s origins and as to how the genre was initially defined!
i'm from the year 3152 and this here sir is the galactic anthem,the sound warp speed makes,how the ATM sounds when cash comes out........and my alarm. SWEET
Whats an insightful information 👌 shout out man this explains everything to someone who literally know nothing about amapiano big shout out😭😭🔥🔥🔥👊🏼🥂💯✅fam!!!
This is absolutely fire and actually sounds a slight bit differnt from the normal amapiano but it makes it better because South African artist keep evolving and add new styles to the genre
I'm happy I got to see you doing an Amapiano beat... from inspiring me to not quit music to this, you just went to the top of my fav RU-vid producer list ... South Africa let's go🔥🔥🔥🔥
