Keeping up to date with Kiko Navarro is nearly a full-time job in itself but you drop everything when the next installment of the collaboration with Dele Sosimi and Lizzy Dosunmu drops - here's 'Ire Gbo Gbo'!
It's been six months since we heard the sensational Afro-disco proect from Kiko Navarro, Dele Sosimi and Lizzy Dosunmu with the "sun-soaked heat" of ‘Ijó Yá’, with Voilaaa rounding things off with a wicked remix (see review HERE).
Well, here's the second single with more highlife and soca where Kiko makes an uplifting track that reflects what Afro house means to him today.
The title Ire Gbo Gbo is a Yoruba expression meaning “All Blessings”, “All Good Fortune” or “All Good Things”, depending on the context. Dele and Lizzy felt Kiko’s music was the right vehicle for lyrics celebrating the blessings we have, experience, yearn for or pray for in our lives. At its heart, the song encourages us to recognise and appreciate those blessings, even when faced with challenging circumstances. It is both an invocation of good fortune yet to come and a celebration of what is already present in our daily lives, our homes, our communities and the world around us — a survival tool rooted in Yoruba culture.
The original mix comes backed by two alternate versions, each taking a different angle on the groove, plus remixes from JKriv (the man is even busier than Kiko, check him out HERE) and El Dragón Criollo that push the track in other dancefloor directions.
A new mix of "Ijó Yá", their previous collaboration, closes the release.
