The origin of Gqom music in South Africa

Gqom is one of the most successful music genres in South Africa. According to an article by Bubble Gum Club, the sound was birthed in Durban in the early 2000s.

Musicians like Tzozo & Professor, Big Nuz, Dj Tira, Dj Sox, and Dj Twitty helped popularise the sound by dropping back-to-back hits. Gqom experienced its peak in 2009 and has since reshaped its soundscape by drawing in more influence from current music styles, thus birthing new sub-genres.
