Piero Farho, a DJ and producer who was born in Syria but grew up in the Netherlands, released his track Rise on January 16, 2026. Rise is the kind of song that gets everyone moving, mixing Afro House and Afro Tech styles. It’s got a strong beat with great percussion, a smooth sound that feels good, and an energy that just lifts you up.
Piero gets his inspiration from his diverse background and his lifelong love for performing. He blends African rhythms with a bit of Latin flavor, something you can hear in his previous hits like Sanaa and his work with LevyM on some Afrobeats-influenced tunes.
He’s built a solid fan base, with over 12,000 followers on Instagram, and he’s got a presence on Beatport, which means he’s definitely making a name for himself in the worldwide Afro music scene. He’s inspired by the sounds coming out of South Africa, and he’s been getting gigs at clubs all over Europe.
The drums have that real Afro House feel, with layers of shakers, congas, and kicks that create a mesmerizing rhythm without being too much. The way the song transitions is really well done, building up tension and then releasing it perfectly, like what you want when you’re watching the sunset or when a song hits its peak in a club. There are soft, emotional vocals that blend with rich melodies played on pads and synths. The overall vibe is uplifting. It makes you think of traveling, growing as a person, and feeling close to others. It’s the kind of song that gives you a rush of good feelings, perfect for dancing or listening to on a road trip.
