Okwei Odili has just released a new single titled ‘Wakawaka Afrobeats Remix’ in which she teams up with the Brazilians Jose Balbino – DJ Zebb on Programming and Production, Mateus Aleluia Rodrigues Lima on Trumpet and Jarbas Jacome on Guitar.
The song talks about love and aims to offer comfort in these special times. The first line of the chorus is inspired by Fela Kuti, creator of Afrobeat from Nigeria.
Okwei’s work in Nigeria and the joint album with IFA Afrobeat band from Bahia made her and her band AWETO one of the most beloved bands on the Salvador music scene.
