Maphorisa’s Prayer For Amapiano Genre. Born Themba Sonnyboy Sekowe, the 34-year-old has mastered the art of maintaining relevance not only by staying abreast of sonic trends, but also by finding clever ways to keep the public engaged. That spirit, and his exceptional talent, has allowed him to stay on top of his game for the best part of a decade now. Just when you think you’ve got Maphorisa all figured out, he flips the script. Again and again.
Maphorisa who is passionate about the growth of Amapiano says he’s praying for the genre. The genre’s growth is blatant, as it’s moved from the hood to nations and it’s gradually infiltrating the international scene. Following his successful interview at YFM radio station, DJ Maphorisa took to Twitter to reveal his ardent behaviour towards the aforementioned genre.
Just like Afro Beats genre has been peaking and bagging recognition on the Billboard charts, Lawd Phori prays that yano makes such a feat. “Praying for Amapiano category on the Billboard charts,” Phori tweeted.
The Billboard charts tabulate the relative weekly popularity of songs and albums in the United States and elsewhere. The results are published in Billboard magazine. Billboard biz, the online extension of the Billboard charts, provides additional weekly charts, as well as year-end charts. The charts may be dedicated to a specific genre such as R&B, country, or rock, or they may cover all genres.
