TinoGh – Kuriya Kuriya


Listen Later

TinoGh has dropped his second official take on the viral phenomenon, “Kuriya Kuriya.” Released on February 4, 2026, this version serves as a polished rhythmic extension of the Dagbani chant that set the internet ablaze during American streamer IShowSpeed’s visit to the Shea Butter Museum in late January.

The track is a vibrant Afro-Dancehall record co-produced by TinoGh and the Shatta Movement production unit. While his initial response to the viral clip was a raw street freestyle, this official release is a more structured tribute. The lyrics delve into the cultural significance of the “Kuriya Kuriya” call-and-response, traditionally used by Northern Ghanaian women to find rhythm and communal joy in their work. TinoGh masterfully weaves Speed’s newly minted Ghanaian identity, “Barima Kofi Akuffo,” into the narrative, celebrating the bridge between global digital culture and ancestral heritage. It is a high-energy piece that reflects his role as a cultural custodian, speaking directly to a global audience that was captivated by Ghana’s hospitality during the “Speed Does Africa” tour.

Musically, the track features a heavy, percussive bassline that mimics the traditional rhythmic pounding of shea butter, giving the song a grounded, organic feel. His delivery is punchy and charismatic, utilizing the hypnotic nature of the chant to create a floor-filler that is as educational as it is infectious. By revisiting this theme with a full-scale production, TinoGh has effectively turned a fleeting social media moment into a permanent anthem for 2026—one that honors the resilience and beauty of Northern Ghanaian traditions.
