This upcoming track, featuring the internationally acclaimed Soweto Gospel Choir, is scheduled to drop on March 13th and serves as the lead single off his upcoming album, ‘ORIGIN8A’, slated for release later this year.
Meaning ‘shine’ in the local WALA dialect from Wa, in the Upper West Region of Ghana where Samini originates, ‘CHAANA’ is a soul-stirring Afro Pop anthem aimed at uplifting and inspiring Africans.
The song aims to celebrate the continent’s boundless potential, resilience, and unity by fusing Samini’s unique style with authentic African influences, incorporating elements of Swahili from the Soweto Gospel Choir.
This fusion creates a Pan-African musical experience that honors diversity while highlighting a shared cultural heritage.
Produced by the acclaimed Francis Osei, ‘CHAANA’ boasts a vibrant mid-tempo rhythm that complements its powerful and empowering message.
The accompanying music video, shot in South Africa and directed by Yaw Skyface, showcases breathtaking landscapes and emblematic imagery that reinforce themes of African excellence and perseverance.
By collaborating with the Soweto Gospel Choir, Samini deliberately infuses ‘CHAANA’ with deep-rooted African traditions.
The choir, known globally for their harmonious vocals and electrifying performances, adds a layer of richness and authenticity to the song, creating an unforgettable musical experience.
As the lead single off ‘ORIGIN8A’, ‘CHAANA’ sets the stage for an album that celebrates African culture, music, and identity.
Despite not being officially released yet, the track has already stirred significant buzz within the music industry.
Industry insiders who have received an exclusive preview of the song have expressed excitement and admiration, praising the collaboration as a perfect blend of talents. Many anticipate that this release marks a triumphant return for Samini, with fans eagerly awaiting his next musical masterpiece.
