about

Mogo Naaba . Togo/ South Africa
Yobalema Remix

'Yobalema' is the first material with the new singer Abass Ndiaye from Senegal, who brought lyrics in Wolof, influences and melodies from West Africa, which gave a whole new shape to the Duo, but maintaining the multicultural identity and the energy for the dance floors.

“Remixing 'Yobalema' was about creating a different dancefloor-friendly version of the song, without losing the richness of its elements. From the onset, I knew what direction I wanted to go. I always imagined what a blend of electronic, hip-hop and afrobeats would sound like and that's what I went for...

Two elements stand out the most, these are the vocals and the percussions. They raise a certain nostalgic feeling, even if one doesn't understand the lyrics. It took some time to figure out how to preserve them without losing the energy that the synths bring. I hope you enjoy the outcome!”
