Sampa The Great delivers new track "Bona"
Sampa The Great has shared new track "Bona" as the third preview of her forthcoming second album As Above, So Below.
Following the announcement of As Above, So Below last month with "Never Forget", Sampa The Great has shared a new song titled "Bona", which willl appear on the record with her April Denzel Curry collaboration "Lane".
Sampa The Great said of the track, "I haven’t yet shown the influence Botswana has had on me musically; this is the style, language, and swag of Batswana youth. "Bona" is a chance for me to shine light on other elements of music that I was influenced by when growing up, outside of Zambian music. I want to bring a Southern African anthem to the mix and DJ desks and show that there’s an array of music coming out of Africa on top of Afrobeats."
As Above, So Below will follow Sampa The Great's 2019 debut album The Return, and will feature collaborations with Joey Bada$$, Kojey Radical, WITCH, Angélique Kidjo and more.
