As the sun sets over the bustling streets of Ekkamai, the air thickens with exhilarating anticipation.

Afro House, a genre burgeoning with cultural richness, captures the essence of numerous influences, evolving as it journeys across borders. Rooted in the soulful grooves of House music, Afro House finds its origin in the deep and engaging sounds of Africa, with artists like Black Coffee and Culoe De Song leading the way. As the genre has evolved, it splintered into captivating subgenres—Afro Tech pulses with hypnotic beats, while Amapiano layers melodic keys and jazz influences. Each corner of this musical landscape tells a story, a narrative fragmented yet unified, and at Veyla, those tales unfold in a rhythmic embrace.
