Ladies and gentlemen of the Cha Cha Nation, welcome back to another episode of the Cha Cha Music Review Series. This week’s rotation cuts across Nigeria, Ghana, and South Africa, detty December energy, reflective praise, soft love songs, and street-certified production choices.
Let’s get into it.

This episode is proof that African music is no longer moving in one direction. It’s reflective, experimental, spiritual, playful, and still deeply danceable.
