Samini Set to Release Uplifting New Single ‘CHAANA’ Featuring Soweto Gospel Choir

Ghanaian music icon Samini is gearing up to release his highly anticipated new single, ‘CHAANA’, featuring the globally acclaimed Soweto Gospel Choir. Scheduled for release on March 13, ‘CHAANA’ marks the first single off Samini’s forthcoming album, ‘ORIGINBA’, set to drop later this year.

‘CHAANA’, which translates to ‘shine’, is a powerful Afro Pop anthem designed to uplift and inspire Africans. The song reminds listeners of their limitless potential and resilience, blending Samini’s signature style with rich African influences. The track incorporates the WALA dialect from Wa, the Upper West Region of Ghana, where Samini hails from, as well as Swahili, delivered by the Soweto Gospel Choir.

This linguistic and cultural fusion creates a truly Pan-African sound that resonates with the spirit of unity and progress. Produced by Francis Osei, ‘CHAANA’ boasts a vibrant, mid-tempo rhythm that perfectly complements its empowering message.

The accompanying music video, directed by Yaw Skyface and shot in South Africa, visually brings the song’s essence to life. The video captures breathtaking landscapes and symbolic imagery that reinforce the song’s theme of African excellence.

Samini’s decision to collaborate with the Soweto Gospel Choir reflects a deliberate effort to create a project deeply rooted in African heritage. As the first single from ‘ORIGINBA’, ‘CHAANA’ sets the tone for an album that promises to be a celebration of African culture, music, and identity.

Fans and music lovers can expect ‘CHAANA’ to be released across all digital streaming platforms on March 13. Get ready to shine with Samini!
