Kabza De Small and Tycoon Drive Amapiano’s Unstoppable Momentum
Amapiano is continuing its spectacular global reign this season, cementing its position as one of the most exciting and dynamic sounds in contemporary dance music. Leading the charge is the genre’s pioneer Kabza De Small, who is set to headline a major showcase at the upcoming Durban July event, presented by Hennessy.
The highly anticipated “Kabza and Friends” Durban July Edition is shaping up to be one of the signature events of the winter-summer transition in South Africa. The showcase highlights how the genre continues to secure major luxury partnerships while keeping its roots firmly planted in the local street culture that birthed it.
In tandem with high-profile live performances, the studio output from the Amapiano scene remains incredibly prolific. Producer Tycoon has just released “Art Of Love III,” a soulful and rhythmically intricate project that celebrates the deeper, melodic side of the genre, proving that the sound is constantly evolving and expanding.
This multi-layered approach—coupling massive, star-studded outdoor performances with deeply artistic and emotional studio albums—is why Amapiano continues to win over new audiences from London to Lagos, and far beyond.
As we head into the second half of 2026, the movement shows no signs of slowing down. With both established masters and rising visionaries consistently pushing the boundaries, Amapiano is firmly secured at the absolute forefront of global music culture.
