House music is a genre of electronic dance music that originated in Chicago, Illinois, in the early 1980s. It was influenced by disco, funk, soul, and synthesizer-based pop music, and characterized by a repetitive four-on-the-floor beat, off-beat hi-hat cymbals, and prominent bass lines. House music spread to other cities in the United States, such as Detroit, New York, and Los Angeles, and then to Europe and the rest of the world.
One of the regions where house music became very popular is Africa, especially in countries like South Africa, Nigeria, Kenya, and Angola. African house music incorporates elements of local musical traditions, such as Afrobeat, kwaito, zouk, and makossa, as well as influences from other genres like hip hop, jazz, and reggae. African house music is diverse and dynamic, reflecting the cultural and social realities of the continent. Some of the notable artists and producers of African house music are Black Coffee, DJ Maphorisa, Oskido, Mafikizolo, Niniola, Wizkid, and Master KG.
