A straightforward story that compels the listener to lean back and assimilate its essence.

Hot, groovy and rhythmic
FRA! takes you back to the era of Ghanaian high school style azonto with this song led by Nana Yaw Ofori-Atta (Thousand). It's hot, groovy and rhythmic and will make you want to dance all day. The song's catchy and simple chorus, "You Dey Feel The Vibe", makes it a great for audience participation. Written in the band's signature feel good style, it's one of the singles off the band's highly anticipated upcoming album, Chale Wote.

‘Fantasize’ is a grandiose rant in which Arlen airs his discontentment with his station in life as well as the socio-political climate at the time of his writing, while defiantly daring to dream big. He began writing the song during his gruelling tenure in medical school when he truly began questioning his purpose in life. Fantasize allowed for a bit of frivolous escapism from what, at the time, felt like the harshness of his reality. Lesroy ‘A.P.’ Byers of the Oakville Collective captures perfectly in the production, the sentiment of Arlen’s hopeful helplessness.
Jiggybang is happy to announce the release of his new Afro Dance fusion track titled “Juju”. The rhythms and melodies are quite tactical and sound interesting. The track is inspired by loving unconditionally and people tend to be superstitious of superficial love. “Juju” is a well known word in the Western part of Africa similar to the meaning of the word “charm” in English language.
Better late than never, is an instrumental song that can be listened by jazz enthusiasts, and can be used as a signature song for different music or documentary programs.
Inkululeko means freedom & liberty. The freedom of self. Inkululeko is a beautiful meditation to the great future Lyndani endeavours to see.
