Scheduled for release on March 13, this highly anticipated track marks the first single off his forthcoming album, ‘ORIGIN8A’, set to drop later this year. ‘CHAANA’, which means ‘shine’, is a soul-stirring Afro Pop anthem that seeks to uplift and inspire Africans, reinforcing the continent’s limitless potential, resilience, and unity. The song masterfully blends Samini’s distinct style with authentic African influences, incorporating the WALA dialect from Wa, the Upper West Region of Ghana—where Samini hails from—alongside Swahili elements delivered by the Soweto Gospel Choir.
