Flavour marks the beginning of a bold new era with the release of “Afroculture,” the first glimpse into the world of his forthcoming album. A vibrant celebration of rhythm and heritage, the single brings together live percussion, highlife brass, and the unmistakable sound of the ọjà flute. Featuring legendary Senegalese artist Baaba Maal, “Afroculture” calls for one thing above all to dance. It’s a sonic bridge between generations and geographies, where West African tradition meets a contemporary pulse.
Accompanying the song is a visually stunning film directed by TG Omori, shot across Lagos, Dakar, and Nairobi. Each frame captures the heartbeat of the continent its colors, movements, and communities as Flavour celebrates the shared spirit of African identity. The collaboration unites artistry and storytelling, offering a cinematic experience that mirrors the energy and depth of the music itself.
After more than two decades of shaping the soundscape of modern African music, Flavour steps forward not just as an artist but as a cultural architect. With “Afroculture,” he returns to the roots that have always inspired him, weaving them into something timeless yet new. This marks the beginning of a radiant journey one that redefines how Africa’s musical story is heard, seen, and felt across the world.
