The song features Lungi, another Universal Music artiste, and shows the magic that happens when the best talents from the across the continent collaborate.”
Owami features a unique blend of Nigerian and South African influences evident in the beats, lyrics, language and delivery, and Idyl, widely regarded as one of the best musical prospects out of Africa, is thrilled about everything the song represents.
“Besides being an exciting song , Owami represents a cultural bridge between South Africa and Nigeria. The song is immediately relatable by listeners and fans in the two countries and indeed across the continent. I can’t wait for our fans to hear it”, added Idyl.
For her part, Lungi describes the experience recording Owami as exciting and revealing, even as she urged for more collaboration between artistes in Nigeria and South Africa.
