Barmy Aje, a fast-rising Nigerian artist celebrated for his genre-fusing approach works with Arusi Igba for “Nkenuwa”, a production-heavy afrobeats showcase.
Together, their synergy on “Nkenuwa” is undeniable, blending classic Afrobeats rhythms with vibrant indigenous melodies that pay homage to their backgrounds.
The track’s production is handled by renowned Nigerian beatmaker Masterkraft, whose deft touch is evident in the song’s layered percussive textures and dynamic groove.
“Nkenuwa” opens with catchy instrumentation–talking drums, shimmering guitar riffs, and a subtle undertone of synthesizers–all coalescing into a tight arrangement that instantly gets feet moving.
Barmy Aje’s vocal delivery is infectiously energetic, effortlessly switching between Yoruba and English, while Arusi Igba’s verses provide an earthy authenticity steeped in local dialect and praise chants.
Critically, this collaboration is a testament to the growing influence of regional languages within mainstream Afrobeats, further pushing the genre’s boundaries globally.
