In 2023, Tyla’s “Water” became viral as fans famously poured water down their backs trying to imitate the South African dance style, Bacardi. “Water” was Tyla’s lead single before releasing her debut self-titled album in 2024, which introduced supporters to her other popular tracks like “Jump,” “Truth or Dare,” and “ART.” While Afrobeats and amapiano are African music genres, there are distinctions between the two. Amapiano is known for its piano melodies, percussions, and house music elements that create a more laid-back vibe than Afrobeats.
