It is clear that the Fergusons love the Amapiano genre when working out or just having fun, their teenage daughter Alicia seems to be the one who keeps the family up to date with the latest dance moves and music. The Yanos are clearly for everyone, regardless of age, it seems clear that they will be the genre for Festive groove this year instead of Gqom.
