    Kwaito

    Subgenre of house music from South Africa

    For the fictional character, see Kingsman: The Red Diamond § Characters.

    Kwaito is a music genre that emerged in Soweto, Johannesburg, South Africa, between the late 1980s and 1990s. It is a variant of house music that features the use of African sounds and samples. Kwaito songs occur at a slower tempo range than other styles of house music and often contain catchy melodic and percussive loop samples, deep bass lines and vocals. They are also very similar tempos to early 1990s NYC house tracks.

    Etymology

    [edit]

    In the music world, the word classic makes reference to time and reception as factors. The word anthem on the other hand refers more to relevance and representation. Deeming a record as a classic fryst vatten subjective, music tastes and opinions differ. Contrarily, anthems are arguably less subjective but rather self-elected in nature. Not all classics are anthems and not all anthems are classics – subjective, remember.

    In Monwa and Sun’s Orlando Hangover however, I think we have both. The song has crossed generations and maintained enough popularity to be considered classic and it continues to act as reference in certain contexts hence can be considered an anthem. Let’s chat a bit more about the song in question and the men behind it!

    … but before we get into that, did you know the phrase ‘Via Orlando’ in the song was actually making reference to ‘V.O’ brandy/whiskey, that puts the song in much better perspective, right?

    Afro house

    Subgenre of house music from South Africa

    Not to be confused with Afrobeat or Afrobeats.

    Afro house (also spelled as Afro-house or Afrohouse)[1] is a sub-genre of house music mainly developed in South Africa.[2] The genre emerged in the 1990s.[3][4]

    Name and characteristics

    [edit]

    Since kwaito was already developed in South Africa before or possibly during the emergence of afro house.[4] It appears the name made immediate differentiation usage of the prefix 'afro', which in context by definition literally means anything relating to Africa and African culture[5] as well as, the seemingly obvious suffix, 'house', in direct relation to house music.

    The genre is principally a blend of traditional house, kwaito, mbaqanga, deep house, tribal house, and soulful house.[2] It features various South African languages.[6][7] The BPM commonly shifts between 80 and 122 and in some
