The Cultural Connection of Afro House
At the core of Veyla’s energy lies the intoxicating genre of Afro House, a movement blending traditional African rhythms with the pulsating heart of house music. Influential artists like Black Coffee and Culoe De Song have elevated this sound beyond borders, infusing it with global influences that resonate deeply. Subgenres like Afro Tech, with its hypnotic basslines, and Amapiano, characterized by melodic piano riffs, offer varied sonic experiences that connect audiences in unexpected ways.
Afro House is not just music; it is a cultural journey, a narrative thread that weaves through the lives of its listeners, inviting them to explore deeper. The inclusion of these sounds at Veyla is not merely about fill the air with beats; it’s about celebrating a rich musical heritage that resonates within Bangkok’s diverse community, drawing in souls from all corners of the globe.
