Last week Friday, DJ Tira released a new album (a clear sign that festive season is close by). Ikhenani is packed with 17 songs to which we will make memories in the upcoming summer.
The album title Ikhenani means Canaan. “As you know in the bible, there’s Canaan, a place where you’ll find gold and silver and all those good things. So, on the album, I’m leading people to a place where they’re going to have a good time,” DJ Tira says in the album’s Apple Music liner notes.
This Promise Land that Tira is leading his listener to is a cocktail of genres that you would never expect to find in an album by one artist—gqom, amapiano, hip-hop, maskandi and gospel all co-exist on the project.
