The Marimba and music Currulao from the Kmtyu of the Pacific Coast of colombia meets with the ancestral homeland of Senegal and the ancestral Balafon. In our studies, the Kmtyu of the Pacific Coast have theorized the Marimba is a descendant of the Balafon, and was reconstructed in the Choco rainforest when our ancestors were trafficked there. We also have a large ancestry from the ancient Mali empire in our Abibiman genepool, to include Senegambia. ⁣The marimba player is Hugo Candelario, from Guapi, Cauca, and one of the country's best marimba players.

OLATUNJI - "SHE TEMPO" (Official Visualizer)

Produced by Shot Master J

Following the heartfelt patriotism of his first release for the season, "TLY (Trinidad Loves You)", Olatunji Yearwood returns with his second offering "She Tempo", a vibrant, soulful ode to the heartbeat of his career: soca music.
Inspired by the smooth charm of the late Baron, "She Tempo" fuses vintage calypso sweetness with modern Carnival power.
Olatunji personifies soca as a woman, seductive, playful, and powerful taking listeners on a rhythmic love affair full of passion and truth.
With lines like "She hit me front, I hit she back and we whining low", Olatunji captures the essence of the dance floor and the deeper
connection between an artist and his art form.
The song reflects the highs and lows of his journey in the soca industry, celebrating resilience, creativity, and devotion to the culture that raised him.
