When you listen to the track you will realize that the essence of the Afro-beat remains prominent for this remix. The beat is infectious and both artists rocked the song.
This clearly shows how versatile an artist that Machel Montano HD is and clearly he leads on the remix of this sweet track - Machel is just wicked on this track! The remix is a cleaver one because it keeps Machel in the limelight and he gets the opportunity to widen his market appeal with Timaya and at the same time exposing Timaya to the Caribbean market.
If you do a YouTube search for this song you will find videos of Timaya's original song with the performers doing a dance called Azonto. Now before you start shouting that Azonto is a music genre and not a dance please note that it is both - it is a dance and genre of music that originated in Ghana. Again, if you did not know then take note that Soca music is also making serious inroads on the African continent and there are many songs with similar beats.
For now just revel in the fact that Machel is such a versatile artist and let everyone know that he is continuing to spread his wings and will remain relevant for a very long time. Now simply get to know the artist known as Timaya and enjoy this remix that he did with our very own Machel Montano HD. Love it ... the vibe is sweet!
