‘Afropiano’ is a fusion of West African Afrobeats and South African Amapiano. Amapiano, which means ‘the pianos’ in Zulu, is a style of house music that emerged from South Africa while Afrobeats emanated from Nigeria.

Niniola branded herself as the “Queen of AfroHouse” due to her signature Afropiano sound.
