AMAPIANO took over Portugal in a big way over the past weekend and left the country excited.
Musicians such as Uncle Waffles, Kabza De Small, DJ Maphorisa, Kamo Mphela, DBN Gogo, Focalistic, Major League DJz, and Young Stunna were on the line-up for Afro Nation – a music festival in Portugal.
People couldn’t stop talking about them on social media.
Afro Nation is an annual three-day festival, and it’s the biggest Afro beats festival in the world.
It had three stages this year and for the first time, Mzansi singers had their own stage – the amapiano stage.
The stage was full of an audience from the beginning to the end of the festival.
The musicians posted videos of themselves performing at the festival and they had happy crowds.
Drip founder, Lekau Sehoana, was also at the festival and said DJ Maphorisa and Kamo Mphela killed their performances.
