Gambian Afrofusion artist Awa Gambia has revealed her new single, “Shake It”, and a shiny set of visuals to boot.
“Shake It” blends Afro-pop, Afrobeats and Amapiano, and stirs them into the Gambian sound of Afro-Mbala. Uptempo and uplifting, it’s the perfect counter to grey and gloomy skies.
A local legend, Awa has been making big moves as a singer in her home country of The Gambia since her school days, and her name rings loudly across South Africa, Nigeria and Ghana, too. One of the vanguard of a wave of Gambian talent bubbling up and taking over, this new single cements her position as she sets her sights on the UK and beyond.
Awa Gambia is repping her country to the fullest, and she wants the rest of the world to join her. Press play on the visuals for “Shake It” above, and be sure to add the song to your playlists.
