Drawing from the rich musical traditions of Cameroon, Aris Kokou’s ‘Kongni Mi Ngong’ is a soulful house track that fuses pulsing electronic beats with the soaring vocals of Emily Nea.
From the first notes of the driving bassline, the track sets a hypnotic groove that pulls listeners into its rhythmic spell. Emily’s vocals, sung in her native language, adds a layer of cultural authenticity to the track, infusing it with the warmth and spirit of her African roots.
As the track progresses, Aris expertly layers in percussive elements, creating a dynamic and immersive soundscape that begs to be danced to. ‘Kongni Mi Ngong’ is a celebration of African music and culture, brought to life through the lens of contemporary, soulful house.’
