The amapiano movement just gained a powerful new ally. Just Piano Africa, a pioneering agency dedicated to the growth and sustainability of Amapiano, officially launched on March 26th at an exclusive event in Dunkeld. Hosted in partnership with Y at the eMedia studios, the launch event brought together influential figures in the music industry, reaffirming the agency’s mission to push the genre forward.
Amapiano’s meteoric rise has seen it dominate dance floors and playlists worldwide, but with that success comes challenges.

By creating a structured support system for artists, managers, and record labels, the agency is ensuring the genre’s longevity on a global scale.
The star-studded launch event, powered by Volcan Tequila, Hennessy, Corona, MXD, and YFM 99.2, was a statement of intent. With amapiano artists, talent managers, and cultural tastemakers in attendance, the night was a fusion of entertainment and strategic discussions about the genre’s future. The shared commitment to South African excellence was evident, reinforcing the vision of keeping amapiano authentic while expanding its influence internationally.
As Just Piano Africa steps into the spotlight, it positions itself as a key driver in shaping the future of the genre. By safeguarding its essence while creating opportunities for growth, the agency is set to play a crucial role in cementing amapiano as a globally recognized and respected movement.
