First track of 2019 and i bring you a track to get you vibing right this year!
This is a track by a very talented Nigerian artist Teni and it is in Yoruba Language (a language spoken by one of the tribes in Nigeria) to get you up and dancing! While you might be put off by the language barrier, i suggest you key into the very beautiful production and the energy Teni brings to the track.
Askamaya was an instant hit when it was released in June 2018 and it still getting so much airplay all over Africa! The chorus is so catchy and is sure to remain in your head days after the first listen..lol. I personally think it's an instant hit on a first listen no matter your music preference because it is sure to have you at least nodding your head to the beat.
With the current rave going on about Afrobeats (not Afrobeat mind you, but that's a story for another day lol), this track shows how it is not a one dimensional type of music but has lots of creativity and versatility to the sound. Okay, I am going on and on i will just leave it to you to have a listen and share your thoughts :)
Have an awesome 2019 people!
