"Log drum" is the single most important word. Without it Suno gives you generic house music.
Add "South African" before "house" or "deep house" — this context shifts the output significantly.
Amapiano piano is jazzy and loose, not EDM-synth. Use 'jazzy piano' or 'Rhodes piano' in the prompt.
Vocal style: use "vocal chant" or "soulful choir" rather than "singer" for authentic Amapiano feel.
Tempo is critical — 108–116 BPM is the sweet spot. Below 105 it sounds like slow house; above 118 it shifts to Afrohouse.
