The news of Afro-dancefloor Special Music Day outings is punctuated this week by Hiro & Ninho, Shay & Niska, Shan'L, Gaz Mawete, Dadju, Afro B & French Montana and A Pass.

Hiro and Ninho Discovered
The connection is between Hiro and Ninho who offer us a duo with open hearts. The two artists unveiled the clip À découvertert while Hiro released his second studio album on June 28th with a nice panel of prestigious collaborations. For this featuring , the two friends are illustrated in a setting plunged in the dark, wearing colorful shirts. It should be noted that the title was already a success even before the broadcast of his clip. Indeed, the piece was shared last April by Hiro on his YouTube channel. Today it accounts for no less than 2.7 million views. After the success of his first solo album, Hiro put it back with his second opus Erratum along eighteen tracks, with many speakers, including Ninho, Kalash Criminal, Singuila, Naza, Daphne, Toofan, or Still Fresh. If you are a fan of afro beats and melodious productions, do not wait any longer to discover this new album!

Shay and Niska propose a featuring of the two Congo with Liquid
The rapper Shay is on all fronts to promote his album Antidote which is extracted his new clip Liquide featuring Niska, clip in which the two artists are very close. It must be said that at 27, Shay bets big for his return after several years of absence and an album under his belt. Antidote is therefore the successor of Jolie Garce Gang . The singer, far from having settled down, settles her accounts and speaks of her heartbreaks. In Liquid , the lyrics are torrid and the flow goes well with Niska, although their collaboration was quite unexpected. Antidote and its 14 titles are still available in the bins since May 10, 2019. Although released in physical version one week before the scheduled date, sales have not suffered too much.

The Gabonese Shan'l puts her voice in the spotlight on the very zouk love Poupish
The singer Shan'l unveiled her parent love love Poupish on June 30 to announce the release of her album Eklektik 2.0 . After the successes of Chizambengue and It's not Gbés Gbés Gbés , Shan'l confirms its number 1 spot on the Gabonese scene abroad. The theme in Poupish is not very original since it is about love, on a title zouk. On the other hand, Shan'l's interpretation makes the difference because she was able to put herself in the shoes of a male character and transcribe his feelings towards the woman he loves. Chanelle Lekongo from his real name announces the color of his still very secret album that will be in stores for this end of 2019 still at Direct Prod, the label of Cameroonian Edgar Yonkeu, former star of soukouss and makossa become producer and who had himself released an album entitled Eklektik at Kiki Productions in 2003.

Mawete gas undergoes the Law of retaliation
Gaz Mawete is without a doubt one of the artists with whom we will have to count in the coming years. Rising value of the new Congolese and African scene, he became known in The Francophone Africa Voice and today conquers the hearts of a wide audience. Still signed at Bomayé Music, Gaz Mawete finds inspiration in his life in Kinshasa. In this new title The Law of Talion succeeds Antidote and Olingi Nini , the artist sings his heartache after a break with the one he loves, all in a rumba-trap style that we start to know since a few years thanks to the success of Dadju, Fally Ipupa, or Spirita Nanda. The clip is directed by Meddy Saleh to whom we owe Si Belle and Garagaza the 2018 winner of the Prix Découvertes RFI, the Rwandan Yvan Buravan.

The return of Dadju is complicated
After several months of absence, the one nicknamed Prince Dadj 'is back with his new piece Complicated . After the success of his first album Gentleman 2.0 , the artist returns and confides on his sentimental life. Difficult to consider school holidays without title of Dajdu. "I missed you," he wrote to his Instagram account, eager to find his audience and panic counters. And again, the singer has a tube in the making. Complicated , title on which Dadju confides on his love life visibly difficult to manage. "You've set the rules, in the end it's complicated yeah / We agreed, in the end she's piqued yeah / She's ready for anything, everything to make me apply yeah / I wanted to be clear, Mademoiselle panicked / In any case it ends badly / In any case it ends badly, badly, badly "sings the" hardened single " on the chorus of his new single, regretting not being able to find a woman who, like him, do not want to engage. Good news for fans, Dadju will be in concert at many festivals in the next few weeks in Argelès-sur-Mer, Liège or Ajaccio, before a new international tour in March 2020.

Afro B continues to remix Joanna (Drogba) with French Montana
The international hit of the album Afrowave released on February 10, 2017 is undoubtedly Joanna (Drogba) . Only the singer Afro B who is the author took a little over a year to release the clip of this title. A first remix of Joanna was then proposed with the Nigerian Wizkid. Successful appointment, but less than the original version. Afro B did not say his last word. If the title worked so well, it is mainly thanks to the #DrogbaChallenge that the Ivorian artist based in the United Kingdom launched before the release of the official video, which led to a remarkable broadcast in the media in the United States. United, in the United Kingdom and in the rest of the world. This new remix retains the original qualities and structure of the addictive title. Afro B calls his style of music "Afrowave", a British sound mixing dancehall, afrobeat and rap found in his other hit single, Melanin and Shaku Shaku .

Ugandan A Pass unveils Chupa Ku Chupa
Alexander Bagonza, aka A Pass, was born on December 21, 1989 in Kampala, the capital of Uganda. This singer-songwriter enjoyed his first hits thanks to his reggae and dancehall repertoire, which remains today his favorite musical genre. A Pass grew up in Kampala in a gospel Christian culture. So it was on the benches of the church that his vocal prowess was noticed. In 2003, he made his first studio experience, but it was not until 2011 that he officially started as a solo artist. He releases singles from time to time until 2013 when success begins to hit his door with titles such as Wuuyo , Am Loving , or Memories with singer Lilian Mbabazi. The artist will return to the studio to concoct his first album Nva Kampala in 2016. We will find the Gamululu tube featuring the Jamaican Konshens or the very committed song against AIDS Mariana . Currently, A Pass continues the exploitation of his second album African Yayo released on April 27, 2018 with titles Guli Walo , Oruso or Didadada .
