Felo Le Tee Responds To People That Want Amapiano Sound To Die. Born and raised in Siyabuswa, Mpumalanga, South Africa, Felo Le Tee embarked on his musical career at the age of 14, starting with a collection of cassettes playing on both sides with the other one on cue. With the discovery of computers, he then elevated to digital DJing.
Tsholofelo “Felo Le Tee” Mokhine says he’s not impressed by people calling for the death of the amapiano genre. The Dipatje hitmaker took to his Twitter timeline, weighing in on the growing conversation about the possibility of amapiano dying out in the near future.
Felo Le Tee lashed out at tweeps speaking of the young guns who are still benefiting from the impact that the sound has had in the music scene. “The way other people are judging these kids that are making their own piano wave is BS, to be honest. Sharp, don’t listen to the music or whatever new nickname they gave it, but don’t forget they are trying to change their lives and their families’ lives.”
Felo Le Tee said the amapiano genre seamlessly penetrated into the global market because it could cater to people who loved different genres as well. “Like, how the heck do you wish amapiano to die down when it belongs to you as an African? Like, it’s your own gold to build the African sound globally even more and while they bash the sound, people in other countries are banging it hard and you want it out? Like are you serious right now?”
