The audience was cheering the man as he delivered his stunning drum solo to accompany a Gqom song. The electronic genre is signified by deep bass on a loop, minimalist yet hard-hitting, according to Mama Dance. Gqom was dubbed African EDM. The name is a reference to the sound of a high kick drum. Some artists, such as Gino, reimagine the genre. Other variations of gqom include gqom fusion, such as Rock Gqom. Gino's drumming skills were the perfect companion for the Gqom song.
