Khumbaya by Vanco / Muneyi
Vanco is one of the Afro house scene's most notable names. His heavy basslines and thumping percussive grooves have resonated with audiences all over the world. He has worked with everyone from Black Eyed Peas to Manoo and, most recently, Pablo Pierro on his latest single ‘Wele Wele’ featuring Una Rams. His music has been released on labels like Sony Music, Universal Music Group, Get Physical and Defected Sondela Recordings. Last year, he played key clubs and events in Ibiza, including Blue Marlin and Pablo Fierro’s residency at Club Chinois, he has toured Africa, Europe and Asia in 2024 and recently sold out a show at Outernet, London.
The majestic 'Khumbaya' is a sublime seven-minute odyssey into moving Afro house. The deep drums are peppered with organic percussion and nebulous synths, while the rousing vocal from Muneyi sends shivers down the spine. It’s a magical combination of physical grooves and plaintive pianos that will enrich any dance floor emotionally and spiritually.
