HUTIA
DJ ALLY FRESH x DJ MURA K.E (FEAT. AYROSH)
The avant-garde DJs cum producers have been crafting innovative ways to get your endorphins flowing. You can hear it in the way their new single seeps an easy blend of dance, benga, afro pop and vernacular. The bright melodies and falsetto cadences make the track feel deceptively happy. However, “Hutia“ is about an intimate couple nursing the heartache of having lost touch and one of the partners is desperately looking for a way to repair the loss of physical togetherness.
With sultry vocals by folk-fusion artist Ayrosh, “Hutia” is set to send alternative afro heads wild. The single draws from a range of different textures that immerse a discerning listen to a kaleidoscope of cultures, vibes and grooves. Udulele on the guitar is the secret weapon that gives soul to the rhythmic melody of the song. It will be hard for you to deny how the bass roll arrests your senses when it drops on the bridge.
To the insightful, you can tell this quartet of urban youth artists are on a mission to carve out a unified sound that promotes dynamic pan-Africanism through intercultural improvisation. Their objective is to showcase rich cultural sounds rooted in African traditions by embracing the paradoxes of innovation.
Speaking of innovation, today, Ally Fresh has also launched Wavvy - a next frontier music distribution channel that leverages on the power of social networks to efficiently create a direction channel to the music consumer.
