Ghanaian music icon Samini has just released his highly anticipated new single, ‘CHAANA’, featuring the globally acclaimed Soweto Gospel Choir. This powerful collaboration marks the first single off his forthcoming album, ‘ORIGIN8A’, set to drop later this year.
‘CHAANA’, which translates to ‘shine’ in the Wala dialect, is a soul-stirring Afro Pop anthem designed to uplift and inspire Africans, reminding them of their limitless potential and resilience. The song masterfully blends Samini’s distinct style with rich African influences, incorporating the Wala dialect from Wa, the Upper West Region of Ghana, alongside Swahili elements delivered by the Soweto Gospel Choir.
This linguistic and cultural fusion creates a truly Pan-African sound that resonates with the spirit of unity and progress. Produced by Francis Osei, ‘CHAANA’ boasts a vibrant, mid-tempo rhythm that perfectly complements its empowering message. The accompanying music video, directed by Yaw Skyface and shot in South Africa, visually brings the song’s essence to life, capturing breathtaking landscapes and symbolic imagery that reinforce the song’s theme of African excellence.
Samini’s decision to collaborate with the Soweto Gospel Choir reflects a deliberate effort to create a project that is deeply rooted in African heritage. The globally acclaimed choir brings an extra layer of richness and authenticity to the song, making it an unforgettable musical experience.
As the first single from ‘ORIGIN8A’, ‘CHAANA’ sets the tone for an album that promises to be a celebration of African culture, music, and identity. With its infectious energy and inspiring message, ‘CHAANA’ is poised to resonate with listeners across Africa and beyond.
The song is now available for streaming on all major music platforms, and the official music video can be accessed via Samini’s YouTube channel. Fans and music enthusiasts alike are eagerly anticipating the release of ‘ORIGIN8A’, which promises to be a masterpiece of African music.
Samini, also known as the “King of Africa Dancehall”, has been credited with several hit songs, including ‘Linda’, ‘My Own’, ‘Where My Baby Dey’, ‘Master Key’, and ‘Body Flame’. He has performed alongside notable international artists, such as Sean Paul, Akon, Kevin Little, and Jay-Z.
