“Akanayo” by Bantwanas, now available on Cercle Records and streaming across all major platforms. This track is a striking blend of African rhythms and Western electronic sounds, creating a mesmerising journey through rich sonic landscapes.

“Akanayo” stands out with its hypnotic melody and emotional depth, capturing listeners from the first note. The track brings together powerful percussive elements, deep basslines, and soul-stirring vocals, paying homage to Bantwanas’ unique style of blending traditional African music with cutting-edge electronic production.

For label manager Clémence, this release holds a special place. She recalls, “Akanayo grabbed me instantly with its hypnotic, powerful melody. Recording it under the Concorde in Paris, blending the West and South Africa, was surreal. This track stays with you long after you hear it.”

The journey of creating “Akanayo” was as exciting as the music itself. After months of remote collaboration, the artists finally gathered in Paris, bringing together instruments, cultures, and creative energy under one of the most iconic symbols of aviation—the Concorde. This meeting of worlds is deeply reflected in the track, where vibrant African rhythms meet the technical precision of Western electronic music.

Bantwanas continues to push boundaries with this release, delivering a track that lingers in your mind long after the music stops. Whether you’re an aficionado of afro house or someone looking to discover new sounds, “Akanayo” is a must-listen.
