Here, in this urban sanctuary of sound, you feel the heartbeat of a city alive with possibility.
The Musical Tapestry
Afro House, a genre that seamlessly melds African rhythms with the global language of House music, has evolved into a rich tapestry that includes subgenres like Afro Tech and Amapiano. Originating in the underground scenes of South Africa and Ghana, Afro House has gained traction worldwide, influenced by pioneering artists such as Black Coffee and Culoe De Song. The genre’s essence lies in its ability to tell stories through rhythm, transcending borders and uniting people through a shared pulse.
At Veyla, this musical direction is not merely an aesthetic choice; it’s a celebration of diversity.
