Join Host Kim Nyajeka and the creators of the "It's Layered" podcast as they explore their content creation journeys and unpack the role podcasting plays in these 'unprecedented times'.

South Africa is one of the biggest dance music nations, and now it seems like the whole world is dancing along to its amapiano (piano/yanos) beats, a genre that blends its kwaito roots with house, jazz and its signature log drum.

Afropop Worldwide first explored amapiano’s origins and growing popularity in October 2020, since then, the genre has seen explosive growth outside of South Africa. A combination of factors, such as: a fresh unique sound, social media, the African diaspora, hard work, and a bit of luck at the right time, has put Amapiano on the global stage.

Amapiano is proving to be a genre that has both depth and breadth, but is it here to stay? We tackle this question, and explore how this homegrown sound is winning over the hearts of audiences across the world. We also speak to two of its rising stars: Teno Afrika and Luxury SA.

That’s all in this episode, Amapiano to the World. Produced by DJ Kix.

It's Layered is a podcast by Zimbabwean girls, Amanda & Rumbi, living on two different continents and keeping their long-distance friendship of over 20 years thriving! Join them as they delve deeper into life, love and all things under the sun because in life... zvine malayers!!

The following episode was recorded on 9/4/21 (Happy 40th Beyoncé!)

Today I connect with another fellow Motherless daughter Amanda who shares her story of losing her mum at the young age of 14! Can you imagine? She also shared with me her Zimbabwean heritage. She also has a podcast with a school age friend on the other side of the world called 'It's Layered.' Look it up!!!

I have a blubber in this one so apologies in advance!

Best to listen away from little ears and anyone sensitive to this subject.

Amanda and Rumbi are two friends who also double as the co-hosts of It's Layered Podcast. “It’s Layered” is a podcast focused on bridging the gap between their experiences as Zimbabwean women living in the diaspora. It is anchored in a 20year friendship, discussing many layers that come with trying to juggle the cultures and expectations that they face. This recording took place across three continents and time zones. I hope to have these wonderful women on the podcast again.
