How Amapiano saved a life
Pulse Picks
March 14, 2024
One day, I went to an Amapiano party at Hard Rock Cafe with friends. The vibe was incredible; everyone was having a blast dancing to the infectious amapiano tunes. By 1 a.m., I was ready to call it a night, but one friend was stuck on the dance floor, dancing nonstop. When it was 3 a.m., I was exhausted and annoyed, so I held his arms and literally dragged him out of the dance floor.
A few days later, I asked him about his marathon dancing session that night. He said that day he was depressed because every time he opened his laptop, he felt a lot of work pressure, but being with us and dancing to amapiano beats that day made him feel so happy and gave him hope.
We often underestimate how much we need to go out and hang out with our friends—having friends, going out and having fun isn’t an option; it’s a NEED.
