About this Event

South Africa’s DJ Maphorisa, the iconic trailblazer behind Amapiano’s global explosion, is set to ignite the stage with a powerhouse live performance — brought to you by Amapiano Sunday, the premier event series from AmapianoDMV, the collective championing the Amapiano sound across the D.C., Maryland, and Virginia area.

AmapianoDMV has solidified its role as the epicenter of the genre in the U.S., with Amapiano Sunday evolving into a cultural landmark for music lovers and fans alike. Known for delivering high-energy experiences and curating top-tier talent, AmapianoDMV now brings one of the genre’s most influential architects to the American stage.

DJ Maphorisa is a living legend in South African music. From producing chart-topping hits to shaping the signature sounds of Amapiano, he’s worked with the biggest names across genres — from Wizkid and Kabza De Small to Drake and Major Lazer. With timeless tracks like “Soweto Baby,” “Izolo,” and countless collaborations under Scorpion Kings, Maphorisa fuses kwaito, house, Afrobeats, and log drum mastery into sets that are as unpredictable as they are unforgettable.

This is more than a performance — it’s a cultural moment. DJ Maphorisa is bringing the full weight of the Amapiano wave to the DMV, and you won’t want to miss the energy, the soul, and the sound that’s redefined global dance floors.

AmapianoDMV is a space for everyone.We welcome and celebrate people of all identities, backgrounds, and orientations. Whether you’re local or visiting, queer or ally, African or diasporic — this is your space to feel seen, safe, and celebrated.
