KINGP x Buju – Commoner

“Definitely, this is a real hit in which excellent work has been done on vocals and the rhythmic structure of Dancehall and Afrobeats genres. -Kingp and buju- can be compared with builders, who, like designers, have collected their single from millions of sound elements into a working mechanism!” (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)

“Однозначно, это настоящий хит, в котором произведена отличная работа над вокалом и ритмической структурой жанров Dancehall и Afrobeats. -KINGP и Buju- можно сравнить со строителями, которые словно конструкторы собрали свой сингл из миллионов звуковых элементов в работающий механизм!”

“A melody with a light, vintage smack of Afrobeats, with a substantial text that concerns relevant topics. A melodic vocal solo and a delicate rhythm has long become an integral part of the -ofili style, whose mood in music is captured from the first notes. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“It is difficult to constantly maintain a high degree of its mood and at such moments such music comes to the rescue.

House of Miagi – Too Late
(Spotify)

“A smooth, feel-good fusion that combines Afro-beats, dancehall with R&B vocals and orchestration. The lyrics fit the mood perfectly and, in the artists’ own words – portray “a story about love, patience and the expectation that your words are enough without actions.””

-Nagamag.com

Artist said about this song:

"The inspiration behind this song is one i am sure most people have experienced, its a story about love, patience and the expectation that your words are enough without actions. This is also very selfish, slightly toxic and unfair to the one that loves most."

Mister Drê-D – POUKI
(Spotify)

“Such tracks need to be listened to at maximum volume in order to completely feel how the music makes your way under your skin and you become its whole. Just incredible depths of vocals, the rhythms of World Music, Afrobeats and the charm of the Neo-Soul genre. (Automatically Translated with Google Translate)”

“Такие треки нужно слушать на максимальной громкости, чтобы полностью ощутить, как музыка пробирается вам под кожу и вы становитесь её целым. Просто невероятной глубины вокал, ритмы World Music, Afrobeats и очарование жанра Neo-Soul.”

-Nagamag.com

Taken from his album " Tounen nan rasin " released last November, the Canadian singer of Haitian origin Mister Drê-D, in his suave voice, presents " Pouki ", a new version of the song " Why " in English and Creole.

This fusion between the two languages is a good representation of the diversity and crossbreeding of urban music today. " Pouki " is an afrosoul piece in the same vein as what is currently being done in Afro-Nigerian urban music with Caribbean influences in the sounds.

"Pouki" (meaning "why" in english) is about an artist who loves his art, but gets caught up in the whirlwind of the music industry to the point of compromising his soul for a bit of recognition and glory.

This master piece written by Mister Drê-D, composed by Noel Mpiaza, mixed and mastered by Maxime Philippe is just in time for spring. Indeed, the images of the clip shot by PeeZee transports us to a tropical landscape where bewitching, sensual and groovy rhythms will warm up your atmosphere as a prelude to the summer season.

Distributed by Distrokid, " Pouki " is now available on all digital platforms. The artist has also concocted a Spotify playlist that accompanies this piece where we find some songs that embrace this musical lineage.

Small Island Big Song – Sarbon

Small Island Big Song – Sarbon
(Spotify)

“"Sarbon" is a passionate song with a clear message against the destructive human nature. Original Acoustic sound of African style, which can leave its sign in your mind. The sea is our life source and we must protect it!”

-Nagamag.com

Artist said about this song:

"In July 2020 when the MV Wakashio ran aground on our coral reef, the hearts of all Mauritians broke along with the tank. Sarbon means (coal), and I wrote this song thinking of this moment when a ship changed our daily life. This event brought a lot of despair for our lagoons, already affected by climate change and over tourism, we were seeing our paradise burning. Sarbon is a tribute to all the people who were on the spot for months, sewing sugarcane bags, donating their hair to absorb the oil and saving as much as we can our precious marine park and the eastern coastline. To the fishermans and sea lovers, to the dolphins, victims of the tragedy. It’s a song for all the creatures on land and underwater that were mourning. The ocean is, for me, the real holy water of this world, blessing us with oxygen, food, peacefulness and wonder. I can’t imagine my life being away from the sea for too long. Being islanders, the ocean is the sound of our childhood, our mother and our greatest resource. Stop turning the holy crystal water to a water as black as coal, this is what we are shouting out to the world. "
