MUSIC PREMIERE: Double Delight Hausa Pop! Sani Danja - Atica Mai Nono | Basu Iyawa ft. Terry G

Northern Nigeria biggest star and pioneering Hausa pop proponent, Sani Danja is here with double delight. The typical Nigerian sound has seen changes and break out stars who has gone against the very grind of what was believed to be a 'typical' sound - from Burna Boy to BOJ (DRB Lasgidi). Sani Danja is making another of such bold move as he puts forward what we describe as a 'hybrid' song and tag 'Hausa Pop.'

'Atica Mai Nono,' released earlier and 'Busi Iyawa' featuring Terry G are impressive pop effort delivered on pop instrumentation and his native Hausa language. While 'Atica mai Nono' is a slower number, 'Basu Iyawa' sees Terry G infect Sani with his high energy. Basu Iyawa which literally translates as 'Them No Fit' features and it is produced by Terry G.

Do think you are a fan of Hausa Pop?
