Aya Nakamura Teams Up With Afro B For New Remix Of DJADJA

Racking up over 100 million streams, and over 185 million views globally to date, soulful vocalist Aya Nakamura continues her meteoric rise, with London's brightest talent, Afro B, now adding his own spin to the French-Malian's massive hit 'Djadja.'

A global smash which refuses to be shackled by language barriers, the track sits at number #54 in the global Shazam chart and serves as channel-hopping musical encounter between North Paris & South London, packed with the African heritage from both artists.

Having already shot to diamond status in France - with Aya Nakamura becoming the first French female artist to achieve this status for a single this year - 'Djadja' is packed with rich and rhythmic chord patterns and an afrobeats-infused melody which perfectly compliments the slick bars of Afro B, the pioneering artist best known for his signature delivery on Afrobeats, R&B, and hip-hop tinged productions, like his massive hit 'Drogba (Joanna).'

Starting his musical journey with a residency at a Jamaican club called NW10, the Londoner has since moved into producing, highlighting his talents as one of the industry's most exciting curators around. Afro B has enjoyed a meteoric rise, channeling Ghanaian, Congolese, and French as influences. The Londoner, who was announced as one of Capital Xtra's presenters, is heavily supported by the likes of Westwood, MistaJam, and Toddla T, and has become one of the scene's most respected talents.

The collaboration follows Aya's original, which has already shot to platinum certification as a number #1 single in the Netherlands, as well as going gold in Belgium and Switzerland, and shows no signs of slowing down!
