Artistes of the Week:

         Hi there! Welcome to the final weeks of August. Today in the music world, we have:

Jojomingos - Majo 

         Jojomingos, is a fast-rising music star from Lagos, Nigeria, blending Afrobeats with unique sounds. His music is a vibrant mix of rhythm and storytelling, reflecting the energy of their hometown. Inspired by everyday life and culture, with songs that offer a fresh perspective on modern African music. With a swag and vibe like no other, Jojomingos dropped  “Majo”, a song that instantly screams "let's get the party started”. Like the name implies, Majo is  an exciting invitation to dance. To dance through everything and anything, to leave our worries and be grateful for wherever we are, because life goes on and never runs out of problems. It’s a song that will lift you spirit, body and mind, motivating you to move and smile your way through life. Check out “Majo” by Jojomingos!

 

TinnyMafiaa, Obafemi - Mari Batiseh

        Afolabi timileyin, professionally known as Tinnymafiaa, is a Nigerian singer and songwriter. He jumps on his new single “Mari Batiseh”, featuring Obafemi. “Mari Batiseh” which begins with a solemn prayer, is a stylish way of saying the Yoruba statement “Ma ri ba ti se” which means “I’ll always find a way to do it”, and that’s the crux of the message here, a prayer that he would always find a way to succeed against all odds. Check out the hot Afrostreet pop, “Mari Batiseh”

Faith martins - Dàjú

         Faith martins, is a budding, creative, contemporary Afrofusion artiste. Following the release of her debut track More, she recently dropped her new single, “Dàjú” last Friday, which has amassed over 65k listens already. “Dàjú” is proof that the girlies are switching things up with a new, charismatic wave of Afro house and a Yoruba-pop style energy, and Afrohouse has never sounded more exciting or creative. This blazing, rave anthem, will get you going through your anything, your day, your struggles, a crazy party, or a romanticizing of your night out. It’s deeply cultural and traditional, yet authentically modern in its own way. The tease of the gan gan flows well with the rhythm of the music, and the connection is immaculate. “Dàjú” is undoubtedly one for the books, so make sure to check it out!

Yimeeka - Ibadi 

          Yimeeka is a hot new chef in the Afrobeats genre, and her latest track “Ibadi” is a living proof of that. Coming in hot with the spirit of Niniola, Yimeeka takes up the high energy rhythm of “Ibadi” and expertly blazes the song with a sensual tone and energy. It is emotive, fun and thrilling. A groove that would keep your legs moving with fire with a dashing feel of danger. Check out “Ibadi”

Jjae - Safalé 

        JJae also known as Praise Chukwuemeka Ubadike, is a Nigerian Afro-fusion whose music blends soul, rhythm, and vulnerability to create heartfelt stories translated in a modern, African way. Recently he dropped, “Safalé”, a soulful, transient Afrobeats music with heavenly vocals that make loving feel so spiritual. As he sings “you got a hold on me”, you feel the intensity behind every word and it almost has a hold on you too. “Safalé” is about choosing boundaries, finding peace and healing, yet also admitting how much this love has a strong hold on you. It is a deep, full track that is all parts soulful!  Make sure to check it out.
