DJ M-Point Dishes up "Amapiano Vs. Kwai-Jazz Mix Session"
<p dir="ltr">Hello and Moloweni to all! This is Matthew Key AKA DJ M-Point from "The Loxion Music Mix Show.” In October 2020, I co-hosted the <em>Afropop Worldwide</em> episode “<a href="https://afropop.test.ejaedesign.com/audio-programs/gcs-dj-roadshow-from-kwaito-to-amapiano" target="_blank">G.C.’s Roadshow: From Kwaito to Amapiano</a>," which documented the newest fusion of <em>kwaito</em> and contemporary jazmusic, Amapiano, and an earlier predecessor, kwai-jazz. </p>
<p dir="ltr">Earlier this month, I compiled a mix of some Amapiano and kwai-jazz tunes in my collection and uploaded them to my YouTube channel at <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/DETmostwanted">https://www.youtube.com/user/DETmostwanted</a>.</p>
<p dir="ltr">The mix is titled "M-Point Presents: AmaPiano vs. Kwai-Jazz Mix Session" and I hope you all enjoy the smooth and danceable rhythms of the two subgenres that fuse kwaito and contemporary jazz!</p>
